I used a set of wheels off of a KDX 400, they have bigger brakes, bigger spokes and are DID rims so all round are better, they're magnesium too! Also they bolt right on

Hi VMX42, below is a pic of the new shock mounting you asked for
I put a Mikuni TM 36-68 carb on the bike and it is a whole lot better, revs quick and is a little faster as well, also jets are available for it
Cheers for now

Yes the bike is pretty slow, also I battled with the jetting all day, Grouty you asked if the carb is stock, yes it is, is there something you know, should I change the carb, do you have any suggestions, maybe a 36mm FCR?
The handling is actually quite incredible, there was a downhill off camber section that I could hang on the cable and the front tracked exactly where it was pointed and the back quietly just followed, handles as well as any new bike.
I still neede to wash the bike then I'll take pics of the shock mounting changes and post them, the silencer is a stickerised unit that I made myself, bit of badge engineering, I found one at the wreckers and then cut it shorter and bead blasted it to get the finish I wanted, looks like titanium

Thanks Derail, I did drill the airbox, it turns out my bike had the wrong needle in it (who would change a needle?) anyway I got the jetting close, still missing and farting, and won my second heat after a whole lot of work on it, it handles like an absolute works bike, we really had a great day, here is the link to out local forum

Stock carb, MTC piston and Megacycle cam, I battling to get the jetting right though, but no fear I'm driving 1200km on Friday to a race in Jhb this weekend (and then 1200km back on sunday) nothing like a good old road trip
I'll post some race pics on Monday

What are the side panels and tank off?
The side panels are from a 78 KX 250, the tank is a 79 KX 80, the front and rear mudguard are off an 88 KX 250, the number board off a 79 KX, the plastics are all from nighmare except the tank from eBay the I resprayed

Looks great.
Did you move the top shock mounts back?
VMX42
yes I did to get a little more ride height to match the forks

Thanks very much for all the help guys
here is what my idea is although with 78 KX plastics and fox air shocks, I prefer the number boards under your legs
