sweet bike man! try powder coating your rims black or green thats what i did to mine and i havent had any problems with it it all, it holds up nicely

Here are some pics of the final mock-up. Gonna ride it this weekend then tear it down for paint...

Sun I pulled the motor and completed the final fab work. All Pieces are in place and temp paint is done.

I cut the frame loops from the KDX and welded them to the KX frame:



I had made a Skidplate for the KDX and it ifit perfectly. The one thing I hate about the skidplate was the hassle of getting it mounted. So I made plates with nuts welded to them and welded those to the frame to eliminate the loose skidplate mounting brackets:



I had bought some new footpegs that were a little bigger (the original ones were bent anyway) and found that I had to pull the motor to get the clutch side mounted. So I took the oportunity to install them while the motor was out. Also, riding trails without a kickstand really sucks so I bought a Trail tech for a 2003 KX125 (they don't make one for an 02) and modded it to fit::



While working on all of this I found that my kick starter was cracked. I have a KX250 kicker on the way but I welded this one for the time being:


Should I put the KX125 kicker on the 250 knuckle or just leave the 250 kicker?

All that is left is the 2002 WR250 petcock to resolve this clearance issue:


PJ1 does not make the Kawasaki green anymore so I bought some grabber green for the areas I welded and ground on. I will tear down this winter when the snow comes and have it powder coated silver or black.

"found that I had to pull the motor to get the clutch side mounted"

I have the same issue.

I'm interested about that WR petcock, what's the deal with it? shorter? Does it have a reserve setting unlike the stock kx?

I went around the petcock clearance by molding it in using the heat gun, work good so far.

Would you get a pic of the chain guide? Do you have a rubber part in it or does the chain rub on the metal?

Here is a pic of the WR petcock:

You can see that the outlet points to the rear horizontally rather than down vertically and it does have a reserve. I should have it today or Mon.

On the chain guide. The stocker has a rubber block insert but mine was worn through. I replaced it with a primary drive unit. It was just a few $$$ more than the ruber insert for the stocker and I wanted black

Stocker I have already discarded the ruber part:

I had to use the stock spacers for the top block

Lookin good!

What mods did you have to do to get that kickstand to work?

The bracket was too long so I set it in place and marked where the top hole should be. Drilled a hole cut the bracket. Found a bolt/bushing to replace the sub frame bolt and cut an 1" off of the stand. I need a button head bolt for the top bolt but have not found one yet.

I want that same petcock, where did you get it? ebay?
That primary drive chain guide looks good, gonna have to order one myself, the stock is junk, can't even put a rubbing block on the bottom part

I had a guy I know in Austin order it for me. I am sure you could get it from bike bandit or something though. Or I can ask him to order another. You will have to pick it up at Cross Timbers or Stillwater 500 when I host the first annual Oklahoma Hybrid Rally.

I used a new 1999 KX250 kickstart lever. I used it full size. It's lighter, stronger and longer than stock. It might not work for someone on the short side, I don't know. I had to use a washer under the nut to take up some slack. I prefer it to the stock lever. I've also heard that if you use the shorty lever, you hit your foot on the footpeg. Good luck!

Th KX250 kicker is too long to fit on my hybrid. The 125 kicker works nicely though. I have my motor rotated up and back so the kicker actually touches the frame but nothing to worry about.

Well done!

Please confirm, but it looks like you used the KX throttle cable and the KDX Keihin carb - is that correct?
thx.

Not sure what franken.... did, but this is what I found.

I ordered a motion pro throttle cable for a 99 KX125 and it was exactly like my 03 KDX cable and fit perfectly with the KX throttle. Ordered it from
motosport.com for $17.

I used the KDX Throttle housing/tube/cable and carb. It all fit like a glove
