« on: February 08, 2016, 11:28:31 am »
Yep still for sale (until I change my mind again lol), I'm selling it because I never ride it; hasn't even done 60 min's riding since building, it just sits in my front room, have too many other bikes in the way to get it out :-)

KDX400A1 ('79) engine, mildly ported, head squish set.
KX500 ('83) gearbox.
KX125 ('83) front-end.
CR480 fork springs.
TT600 ('83) triple-clamps (rubber bar mounts).
Near new gas, piggy-back rear shocks with comp & rebound adjusters.
Fresh resleeve, new standard KDX400 piston & rings, sleeve with enough meat to fit KX420 piston.

SPARES
----------
KX250A5 front wheel.
KX250A5 forks, disassembled, one leg slightly bent.
KX250A5 triple clamps x 2.
KDX400 rear hub, painted with new bearings ready for lacing to a rim.
KDX400 gearbox.
KDX400 mag cover.
KX420 gearbox.
New fuel tank & sidecover decals.
New & used front & rear sprockets.
Reed cage.
Used Boyeson dual petal reeds.
Used stock fibre reed petals.
Clutch plates.
KX250A5 seat cover (used).
New KDX175 'period' Maier headlight shroud.
New TY tail-light.
New KDX400 gasket kit.
New KX250A5 fork seals.
New green handgrips.

Plus heaps more KX & KDX bits & bobs that I will not need anymore.

The bike is great to ride, the only thing I think it needs to complete it is a GMC pipe, the modified KDX400 pipe works ok but looks a little untidy.

$4500 can get you a VERY rare & admired bike, it breaks my heart to sell it, of all the bikes I have for sale, this is probably the most rare.  I'll consider swap's with either a Pre 75 bike (of similar value) or a modern 250/450 4-stroke with about a $5500 value).

I'll take some fresh pics once I get it out of the front room and dust it off ;-)
