Re: KX/KDX Hybrid (91 KX, 89 KDX)
Good luck with sale, that's a great build 

The Vital MX link has a link back to a build on KDXRider.net I believe that was said to have inspired this particular build. Very nice read, especially with the period magazine article scans about one of the earliest perimeter frame KDX200 hybrid builds.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see the chassis geometry is quite similar to the 1994-2002 KX125, although the frame is said to have a bigger cockpit feel to it than all other KX125 models of the era, yet it's still highly praised for it's handling, & it has nearly identical geometry to the era whose handling traits I prefer above all others...
