Carson Brown has done it again!
He recently picked up a marketplace '96 KDX200 equipped with '96 KX250 forks & did a new build for his first-time(?) entry into the upcoming and legendary Tennessee KnockOut aka TKO Hard Enduro race series!
SxS glide plate / skid plate, Panthera e-start kit, carbon fiber pipe guard on a Gnarly Desert Pipe I believe, the same custom batch purple anodized Excel Takasago rims from Dubya and same limited edition purple Renthal bars (both perhaps borrowed from his famous KDX220 build?), etc...
Awesome graphics, way better than the stock '96 graphics... I'll have to re-watchbtge vid to see who made them, I think it may be the small logo name on the shroud graphics themselves?
My buddy Sebastien and I were chatting, and he seemed to think Carson has yet another 220, as the street legal 220 Carson has posted in other recent GoPro vids may be a 3rd H-series KDX in his stable? Unless perhaps he's done a conversion and borrowed the parts from his original 220 build for this TKO-bound KDX race bike perhaps?
