Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)
KX250AF build
The Flyin Hawaiian:
I really like the radiator adaptor plate idea! I never thought about that! I just cut the lower mounts out of my 500SF project and welded them forward slightly. It would have been a ton easier and nicer looking to make the bracket. Oh well Ill remember it next time.

Where do I begin, its been a while since I posted an update on the bike. Since my last update I completely changed which radiators I used, I decided to go with radiators off of a 2002 kx250 and just have the tanks modified to clear the frame. obviously the radiators have the to crossover pipes on them so i had to figure out what to do there. So I got on the summit racing website and found weld on threaded bungs and some -an fittings that thread on and come straight out of the radiator and turn to a 90 degree angle and they work really well. I also have since the last update made the motor mounts and had the whole frame welded by a very reputable welder that has welded some AF conversions before. THe bike is fully assembled and I am just waiting on a petcock so I can hear this thing run. I still need to heat the bottom of the tank to clear the shorty spark plug that is in the motor. One thing I had to also do was use the hammer head designs brake clevis kit as the pin was missing for the pedal and i couldnt get the spring hooked to the pedal as the motor was in the way. I highly recommended this as you can also adjust the pedal tension. Here are some pics of the stuff that I have done if anybody wants more specific pics let me know

I had seen your when I was looking at moding a set of radiators but this was the easiest as I already had the radiators and made the block off plates myself, so just cost effective on my side. But if I smash one I may try that next
