slight facelift on the 89.....
Not sure exactly what I think of it yet. Better than it was I guess... Maybe it'll grow on me? You all know how hard it is to find any AM graphics for an E series KDX.
Opinions? Crappy pic I know. Had to use my phone since my wife has the camera tonight....

I like it alot. The bike overall is great. Picked it up cheap, and money is tight, so it got rebuilt a little at a time. Engine is rebuilt bottom and top, rb'd head, 43mm USD's, DG pipe, and this and that. Thought it deserved some purdy stickers. Hunting after frame guards, and I'm gonna need linkage and swingarm bearings sooner than later.....

Juliend, I think the bike looks awesome. I hope when I get done with my '90 that it looks as nice as yours.

Thanks guys!
Swingarm bearings are next. When I do that I'm gonna either strip and polish or powdercoat the swingarm. The busted up 90 in the garage has the swingarm polished by the PO on just one side, but that one side looks pretty good so I might go that route.
This junk is all in the members bike profile section, but....
cylinder replate by langcourt
wiseco piston
hot rods rod kit
all balls crank bearings
all tranny bearings replaced
boyeson 607 reeds
RB'd head
DG pipe
WER damper
43mm USD conversion (from a yz250 donor)
Tusk Chub 1 1/8 bars
Moose busters / shields
kx500 number plate and rear fender
ETC and so on and so forth.
Plans for the near future
RB the carb
Replace swingarm/shock linkage bearings
Re-finish the swingarm
New seat foam and cover (I'd like to find a cool cover)
Can't think of much else I need to do with it. It amazes me every time I ride it!

Looks great, huge improvement IMO.
I was looking at that graphic kit for my bike, but was not sure it included the tank cover like yours. It doesn't show that in the pic.

Thanks, that's encouraging. I wasn't going to spend that kinda money for a shroud only decal.juliend wrote:They've been backordered on ceets website for quite some time. They have an ebay store though, and once in a while they throw a set up there. I snatched them this time. :D
The quality of the graphics kit seems excellent, very thick and tough.
