I'm prepared to deal with an onslaught of mudslinging if that's how you guys feel, lol. despite not being an AF or a 500, it is being done for similar reasons to all your AF swaps. Getting an old, powerful engine into a better handling modern chassis. I ride alot of tight nasty singletrack, and I do...

ya, i realize I'm on a cr500 forum, but I figured what the hell, you might find it interesting since it's similar work to what you do. I'm surprised I havn't gotten more response though, lemme know if you like it, hate it, etc. In retrospect I picked a difficult swap, but it's been doable. I had no ...

I have a more extensive build thread on TT I could copy over if there's interest. major issues left are fabbing a skidplate and need a longer throttle cable. I guess I'll have a custom made. I have no way of knowing what longer OEMs will work. Any ideas? Small issues are silencer hanger, need air fi...

Here she is.


Do you have a diff name on TT? I ran across one guy already who put a kx500 in there as you did. IIRC it was metalman1011

Not an A/F, but my 96ktm300/04kx250f

Ktm frame cradle is spliced into the kxf frame, frame is cut out a little for the kicker to clear. major mods to radiators, steering damper mount is all homemade stuff, engine is fresh rebuild w fresh plating, n...

I think a new mount will work fine, just a pain in the ass to remake them for a third time. So a tank mod is a viable option if I need to? no issues down the road? Thanks for quick advice. I'd like to post some pics of my build, I chose to build it because I had the old ktm300 and the 04 kx250f fell...

Should i mod this gas tank?

I'm new here I'll introduce myself and post some pics in the appropriate section shortly, but I'm new to conversions and I'm 90% complete with a 96 ktm 300 engine going in a 2004 kx250f. Bottom of the gas tank is hitting head steady mount, about .25" interference. It's an IMS oversize tank, sho...
