$2000 does not go to far these days.:cry:

Still, including the roller, motor, $2K in new parts (above) and full boat suspension rework I will have spent $4200. It will be a new bike with all new parts, bearings, seals and finish. Beats a $KTM and frankly, it will work better and be easier to ride and dang sure more comfortrable.:ride:

Subfame is just clear coat over bare aluminum so it is a different color. The frame is Bengal Silver with clear coat over it.

It is powdercoat not paint.

A KX frame with KDX mounts and KDX case guards? I would not sell it.

I'd trade my 02 hybrid for an older KTM300 though. :grin:

With RB head and carby?

Yep, you bet. Wheels not mounted yet but it starts right up on the work stand and sounds strong. Kill switch works, got spark obviously and revs just fine. I wanted to ensure all the electrics were right before buttoning it up.
