Hi from MI

[Joe87KDX]

Hi Guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I am from metro Detroit and enjoy riding all the great trail systems in Northern Michigan. I have an 87 KDX200 that I am working on restoring right now. First picture is as I bought it and second picture is where I am currently at on it. It looks quite good in the pictures, but it is basically pieced together/not running and all of the wearable parts are roached.

I've got the frame powder coated, and all aluminum pieces vapor blasted. Got the forks / triple clamps together and am currently working on rear shock and rear disk brake conversion.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys and maybe contribute some knowledge of my own.... Needless to say, I'll be hanging out on the air cooled site quite a bit! lol

Joe87KDX,
Panic In Detroit! You've got a good project going. Curious to know if you're a displaced Yupper because you shared you ride in northern MI.

Not only will you find a mother lode of KDX info in this forum, you'll also find forum members are a friendly bunch.

Looking forward to seeing your project achieve operational status.

Welcome to kdxrider.net! Congratulations on the 1987 KDX200!

What method did you use on rear disc brake conversion?

Looks great, keep at it!
