Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
1990 K5 into a 2006 KXF 250 frame...
Charlie500:
Will it work? I've seen post's up here on newer 250f frames... I'm not sure about the 2006 frame. I can get one for pretty cheap off a guy that blew up his motor. Is it worth it for me to try? or should i wait and get a 450 frame? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Charlie

It worked for me as you probably at the other topic you've posted in.
In a 450 frame is easyer by what i've heard.
And Your frame is the same as mine 07 and a 08.

cool thanks Dutch :mrgreen:
I picked up some parts today. Got a 06 250f Chassis, swing arm, linkage, sub frame, air box, seat, a rear shock, and a box of bolts and miscalanious other stuff. the rear shock has been rebuilt by pro circuit with some sort of "Bigger Bladder"? I'm not sure. but any way got all this stuff for $400 bucks off craigslist. Going to pick up a set of almost new forks off a 09 250f tomorow for $350. Is the rear shock much different from 06-09? any way the project has finally started for me! I'm so STOKED.
I have a fully tricked out 1990 K5 right now but i'm thinking i don't want to rob the engine out of it. Thinking about pickin up another one for the AF so i won't have any down time on my ridding...
I'm planning on posting picks of the whole project and my progress, although it may take some time.
Thanks JFAB for the advise on the phone this morning. I can't wait to get this stuff sent down to you for your magic touch! haha
Some of the big Parts I need still:
Wheels, tripple clamps, handle bars, radiators

Make sure that you get a 450 rear wheel. The 250 is a skinny one. Post lots of pics.
Please! Take your time and do it right the first time
