Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
How well do you like your KX250F/K5 conversion
brooksie:
I had my frame welded up just before Christmas. I didn't want the front mounts welded to the frame either. I've always thought they looked "half arsed", and a time/cost cutting method. And as mentioned, getting the engine in and out is tricky to say the least.
Tubes were welded into the rails with bolts passing right through from the outside, holding the mounting plate on the inside. The completed job looks "right", in my opinion.

Can you post a pic of what you did?
Thanks!
brooksie:
I thought that request might be coming! lol
The fella doing the work, and I stress it is all his work (I just told him how I'd like it), lives about an hours drive away from me. I have some parts ordered which are not due to arrive for a week or so. But as soon as they do, I'll be dropping them off and take a few pics. If you're not in any rush, might be some help to you.
Cheers
sandblaster:
No rush on my end.
I still have a lot to do :-D

Not sure if I'm doing this right. But here are a few pics of the rails and lower mount welded.
