MPS MX500AF (KX500AF)

Post by jbird_710 »

George Fanelli at Motorsports Products and Services builds both CR500AFs and KX500AFs (no, I don't want to hear any shit about using "AF"). He does great work. I know; I have one of his CR500AFs. I weight over 400 lbs and jump the bike regularly on an MX track so I can testify there are no issues with frame strength.

Great bike (KX), but crappy stickers!
Too much of a puss for a 500!

Only problem is I don't have a video camera nor does the guy I normally ride with. I've been thinking about getting one but have been too busy spending money on bikes and maintenance. You guys have any suggestions on which video camera works best? I there one that is good to use with a helmet camera and can be used as a regular camera? Just not to up to speed on this topic. I can't have a camera phone because most of the customer sites I work at won't allow them.

The Canon MiniDV line takes stills, and works with an external camera. A bit spendy though. I'm sure there are many others that do I only bring it up as I have a little experience with it.

As for helmet cameras... this one is a really good deal if you don't already have a video camera and aren't looking for the biggest baddest hi-falutin'est unit around. No stills with it if thats a big thing for you.

Thanks Mojo; I can see where taking stills with the same camera would be handy. But, that Samsung camera does look like its got everything you need with that exception and it's $368 now - I've ordered one. Just hope the lens is wide enough to get my fat ass! :cool:

Actually, not too far off :oops:

MPS sells complete bikes but occasionally does frames. Best to talk directly with George Fanelli - 419-351-4707

I could be wrong (it's been a while since I talked with him about it) but I believe he said he modified a CR pipe for the KXAF. He could tell you better than me 419-351-4707
