That pipe looks like it clears the coolant hose, I dont like the curved hose that I have to use with the SH pipe. Bike looks great!

hi guys thanks for your comments .. I'm really happy with the build . i first off started this kx500af because i couldn't source a service one. my friend has one and i asked him if he would like to sell it a few months ago he said no i will never sell it ... ok i thought i better build one .. i bought the chassis off a guy on here and i began building it .
only a week ago my friend emails me saying he wants to sell his service one...

so i bought it .... ooopsie

so now i have two kx500Af's one a service and one my own ...

I'm going to put my trick bits on the service one and keep that but this one you are looking at (after its been in the british motorcycle news papers ) is going to be up for sale
