I started my hybrid project. My 1992 E motor has the rear only head stay mount. Just curious if anyone has done this swap and has a pic of how it was done.
I've seen it after searching but only on a 2006 frame.
thx.

Does your KX have provisions for a rear headstay? Does it use both? If you have a rear headstay, make new brackets and use just the rear. You can cut the front mounts off the frame.
Or you could get an H series head off fleabay--it should interchange. Then you'll have front and rear headstays. You'll just have to make more brackets, though.

thx,
Yeh I guess I'll ask about head interchangeability...
It would be nice to use the front, it would make routing the throttle cable easier and frame mounts are there and beefy, there are no mounts on the rear of the 2001 Kx frame, but there is a decent spot to make one if need be.
Would it be OK to work of the head bolts with a mount?

Decided to fab a front head stay. The rear just wont work with the KX tank, you need every mm of clearance. I hacked off the rear and used 2 front head studs - which needed to be lengthened - i used 8x1.25 all thread that was in stock at the local TruValue Hardware store. A piece of flat steel, some tubing and it hooks up to the stock KX mounting system.
Pics will be next...
