Restoration finally done
Almost 5 months has passed since I turned my bike into nothing but a bunch of bolts and washers. Finally I am just about done. It only took a few months of being unemployed, every waking minute in the garage, and damn near every penny to my name. The first test and tune session is today at 3 pm. This was my first restoration of any kind and I think i turned out pretty good. The best part about it is I have a brand new 1996 KDX. You guys better like it because it was a hell of a lot of work.

If you had a choice to date supermodels for the rest of your life or ride dirt bikes, would you choose a 2-stroke or a 4-stroke?

Nicely done. I wasn't sure how I'd take to the green swingarm, but it works better than I thought it would. Any plans for fork protection up front?

Re: Restoration finally done
I know I need something but I don't know what to get. I really have no clue even where to look.

Re: Restoration finally done
I don't like it
No just kidding, well done bike! Did the seat cover and graphics come on the bike? If not, where did you find them? I do think that it needs a headlight. A KDX needs a head light. As far as fork covers, just get the Tusk neoprene seal cover things, I'd go with the longest that you can get, this will save some $$.

Re: Restoration finally done
Ya the graphics were on the bike when I got it, I saved and polished them up, I have a led light bar on the way and there is a led tail installed. I just kept it as hidden as I could to make it more racy feeling. I just got done testing it out for the first time and it is awesome. Its like riding a brand new bike but maybe a little better feeling.

Re: Restoration finally done
Good work! Looks brand new (I guess because it technically is!).

Re: Restoration finally done
What do you guys think, Should I add stickers? I have a crap load from ordering a million bucks worth of parts.

Re: Restoration finally done
I'd have that back fender covered with stickers, that's just my opinion. I love the stickers you get from buying stuff, makes ya way faster too
