Thanks Tony but I'd just like to return it back to the bike it was instead of it being a hybrid

I don't want to go there Bill however it is a 1983 single shock frame converted back to twin shock so only eligible for pre 85.  I purchased it already modified like this and I suspect back in the day it was a cheap version of the mighty KX250A5.  I'm okay with that but I just want to restore it to it's original condition.  I believe I might be able to just put the swing arm and unitrak shock back in and grind off the extra brackets but I honestly don't know what else on the bike has been modded (eg wheels, forks etc) so wanted a stock roller to rebuild it with.

By the way i think it looks great  :)

Thanks. It's an awesome bike to ride. The KDX motor has plenty of punch and is a great motor and it handles fantastically for it's era.
