Best 79 KX250 Mods
« on: April 28, 2012, 06:37:37 am »
I have a couple of KX250 A-5's that are a few bikes down in the restoration que and was wondering what you thought would be the best mods for VMX?

Were aftermarket forks ever built for the A-5?

Only Simons forks but as Holeshot said YZ465 forks and brake are a better and cheaper option..
You'll need a decent pair of shocks also like Ohlins or Fox airs.

One of mine with Fox forks, an RM 400 full width hub and Fox air shox  :)

They are a great bike  ;D I really like those big bore conversions like Rustys though  8)
