My finished kdx pictures
So I had started the thread in the new member section about my bike, but rather than beat that topic to death in the wrong forum I figured I'd post up the finished product...
Here is what I started with:
And here is the finished product:
Thanks for all the help and support in the project.... And I can't wait to actually ride it!!!!![emoji2]

Re: My finished kdx pictures
Looks great!
Why'd you switch from the black tank to a green one? I'm starting to like green better myself, but I have a hunch (maybe I'm wrong) that most people like the black tanks better, as it's the more "updated" look.

Re: My finished kdx pictures
welll.... I broke the black one.. or rather, the previous owner made me. The bolts were seized in many spots and I had to drill them out.. and in turn I broke the tank and caused it to leak. So i bought the green one from a member in the classifieds... I think the black one would be better looks wise as well.

Well, that's a good reason to switch. For the life of me, I can't understand why people have to crank the %#@& out of those bolts.rashad wrote:welll....

This is what was actually done... Wrong bolt, wrong thread, forced into it... I still cringe thinking about it.

Re: My finished kdx pictures
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that's not the only problem you found with that bike.

Re: My finished kdx pictures
BTW, what's with those (old) green sideplates? Are they off of an early 90s KX or something like that?

I believe the are from an older kdx or kx... Either way those and the fmf pipe that came with it DO NOT fit this bike.Jim B wrote:BTW, what's with those (old) green sideplates? Are they off of an early 90s KX or something like that?
