84/85 KX125 project (photos up).
« on: September 05, 2014, 11:46:18 am »
1985 roller with Pre-KIPS (1983/84) motor and 84 swingarm. Frame painted black to look like an 84 model. Have a rough 84 model frame and 85 swingarm that you can have if you want.

85 roller was above average bike, with original plastics, etc.
motor runs, started easily, no rattles, and good compression.

Tyres are ok.
Front wheel is good. Rear wheel has painted spokes and some corrosion on the tyre side of the rim (not structurally a worry, but its there).
Controls are all good - new grips, Renthal bars, new clutch lever, front brake has bled up fine, throttle snaps back, etc.
Plastics are all there and intact, but have some sun fading (will scrape back no problems).
Shock needs a rebuild (chrome is good). I can do this for the cost of parts.
Fork chrome is good.
Seat cover is good (one small tear underneath). Foam seems good underneath.
Pipe is OK - not mashed, but has a repair on the lower right.

Main hassle with the whole project is that the rear mount on the motor is too wide for the later swingarms. There are numerous ways of dealing with this, none of them are overly difficult.

















$500, or will sell without motor for $250.

Can deliver to Melbourne on Monday 8/9/14 for some fuel money.

Bump for photos.

New UFO enduro rear guard, bark busters, and ugly Acerbis headlight included for anyone who wants to do some Vinduros.
