WTB - KX250A5 Frame or complete worn out bike if possible
« on: February 28, 2013, 01:36:49 am »
I think I've got that right.  I'm after a good 1979 KX250A5 Frame or conversly a relatively complete worn out bike for resto.

Located on the Sunshine Coast Qld, but happy to freight it.

Yeah thanks Tatey ... I've just got cabin fever  ;D

So have you got a spare frame or bike .... or a lead to one for me?

And exactly what is wrong with them then ... are they too light?

They rust and crack everywhere and flog out holes, alot to do with slack maintainance/care....very cool bike and I cant wait till my ones finished. They have a very light frame, heeps of gusseting, tippical shit japanesse welding from the era. Also, because there fairly rare, not alot of parts around...then and now....but if you have time to wait the bits do appear. Simo, TMBill in NZ has the biggest collection of A5 parts and bikes in the world....pm him.
