How well do you like your KX250F/K5 conversion

Right on the money.
Thanks!
Only thing you need is some green hoses :-D

Wow! You're on a mission! I think I do like the green better.
The bottom water pump pipe to radiator hose pipe may rub on the KIPS inspection cover depending on where you place the bottom radiator tank pipe. If Service Honda would have located the water pipe on the bottom radiator tank angled slighty forward this would not have been a clearance problem as it would have pulled the hose away from the KIPS inspection cover. They welded the bottom radiator pipe straight down. As your project progresses I can tell you everything SF did right and what they did wrong! PM me if you have questions. In most cases I can provide pictures.

Thanks kxpegger!
You can rest assured that you will be hearing from me :-D

I've been really busy and have put no time into my project... Until tonight.
My next step was figuring out how to mount the lower frame rails to the lower frame.
Keep in mind that I am not a metal worker :roll:
This is where I was at:
Both sides had the frame rails cut but I needed to remove the inner frame rails from the outer part of the frame.
So, I slowly removed the welds until I could see the crack that is between the inner frame rails from the outer part of the frame
It only took a few minutes and they were out.
Now I am ready to tune up the rails and they will slip in nicely.
Since I do not have many fabrication tools I used the following:
It was inexpensive and easy to use.

To tune up the rail guides and the rails I used a small hand file.:
With just a few minutes of filing all the edges were cleaned up nicely.
