Hi, I tried the "Wanted" section plenty of lookers but no reply's to help me find a 1974 KX250 frame and swing arm. I am willing to pay a reasonable price or maybe trade a 75 model frame and parts or both.

Come on guys another 50 views with no replys, someone must be able to help?

Greg, there are/were practically no 74KX250s around. I've been on the lookout for a frame for one for years, to no avail. You'd have more chance of finding a KX450 frame & adjusting the engine mounts to suit.
-
Thanks JC, yeah I had the complete bike but it's a long story to what has happened to the frame except to say I don't have it anymore. There has been one on ebay in the States but they wouldn't sell it to me.
I can only keep trying. I do have a KX250 75/6 but I don't really want to modify it as it's is a complete basket case also. I have a KX125 frame with the frame number KX125A-000789 can anyone tell me what year this would be?
Stan.

Probably a '78/'79 model as it is similar numbering to those I own. Can you post a photo? That would make it easy!

It is a 125 A4 (1978) frame, so quite rare. Do you have any other parts and what are your plans for the frame?

Hi Ken, I think I have a set of forks if it is an A4. I don't have any real plans for them. I am more concerned with finding a 74 KX250 frame/swing arm.

G`day i will have a parts kx250 A3 coming in about 6weeks 07 3821 6777

will post a pix of the 74 frame under extended restoration in the house of KX here in QLD if interested.

Stan on us ebay under vintage kx or ahrma kx there is a frame quite cheep hope this helps

Hi Stan, same with me, looking for a Husqvarna frame in the wanted section and one help just lookers. and its the same on ebay all watchers and know buyers.
-
I think Stan may be over seas at the moment?
Wolverine, you think everyone has a pre 65 husky frame sitting in their garden shed?
Your wanted add doesn't say what you are after in the description, so of course people are going to look inside to see what part your after.
And yes you will always get watchers on parts on ebay. I put items on watch myself if I own something similar so i can see what it goes for, its just part of auction life.
It's the same with house auctions, not everyone their will be a buyer.
-
Yes he is in South Africa and will be back soon.
If theres some frames on ebay, surely someone here can help him out if the seller wont ship to Australia. Theres guys on here who bring in bikes and large parts all the time, although i dont know the exact process you gotta go through with import duties etc.
-
today l was quoted $168 to have a 1972 model husky frame shipped from the US, and other times these fellows will quote you $500 to $700 to ship a frame. so who is ripping us off.
-
Dave, if you don't mind me asking, who quoted $168?
(I always get quoted much dearer)

Hi sorry for the delay in replying but I've been away. I would love to see the pics if you could post them.
Regards Stan.
-
Good to see you back Stan , I hope you where using the long flights to work on those lists ;) instead the top shelve bar. :D Cheers Walter
Thanks Walter, yeah i did keep the drink stewards busy. I will do that list a.s.a.p for you.
Regards Stan.

Thanks kaw440, yes I think it's the one I have been trying to buy Canada in but they said no to out of Canada/USA shipping. I have been away for the last 3 weeks and when I checked my ebay today I have a new message from them saying if I organise my own pick up and packing they will sell it to me, so thats what I will do if I can organise it. Thanks for your tip about it.
Regards Stan.

Gday Jerry, no I can't make the first round because we are trying to resurect our trailer for the trip to CD7.
Are you going to CD7.
Regards Stan.
-
Sadly no CD7 for me as I'm going to Europe the next weekend and there is a limit to my fiscal activities. Might catch up with you at a couple of CSC races as well as the last 3 VCM rounds. Enjoy CD7 it will be awesome! Cheers Jerry
-
Oh and by the way I will keep an eye out for a frame for you. Jerry
-
Hey Jerry,
i been meaning to ask, whats the "fang the sang " reference for the Boaty?
-
I'll be honest. Years ago Paul Boudreau editor of Moto Cross Action magazine used write about the trials and tribulations of owning a Pursang that he had called Fang. Get it! I unashamedly stole his humour for my own evil reasons. Cheers Jerry
-
By the way Hoony if you want to ride Fang for the day at Yarragon on the 30th your more than welcome. I'm unable to ride due to injury and I would love to see someone ride it who knows what their doing! You up for it? Let me know. Jerry

been trying to get a ride on some blokes Monty 414 for a while too. i did finally get to ride a maico 490 this year ( Thanks Ken)

Riding a Pre 70"s bike is like sticking your tongue on one of those little 12v batteries. You know it's wrong but........................

Thanks guys, I have been chasing this one for a while now but the shop is not interested in selling it to me unless I get someone to actually go there, pay for it and pick it up. I don't really know who I can call on to help me do this.
Regards Stan.
