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.
Clutch plates.
KX250A5 seat cover (used).
New KDX175 'period' Maier headlight shroud.
New TY tail-light.
New KDX400 gasket kit.
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, but of all the bikes I have for sale, this is probably the most sort-after.
