I'm moving into the mid/late 80's with a couple of kdx's.
I'm looking for a 12mm spacer to increase the size of this chamber for a better bottom end.
Does anyone make them or know where l can buy one ?
Thanks
Oh, here's a pic of the bike in 1987, I found the original owner...

Re: KIPS spacer plate
Dave Miller Concepts used to make them. I think they were 10 mm.

Re: KIPS spacer plate
If you can't find one, how about getting another cover and machining the fins off down to the bolt surface. Make your own.

It is moving along.
I think they would be hard to find a used one on eBay. I bought a used bike one time with one on it.

Re: KIPS spacer plate
I'd be very interested to hear if this helps.
I've got a spare motor but don't really want to sacrifice that part unless it is worthwhile.
DMC has a facebook page but his website link didn't work.
I have been looking for good reference articles for the KIPS system on the C-models.
Any good links to share?
