Is it just me or does the disc look too small or is it just an illusion caused by the wavy edge of the disc

Looking good lips.

Couple of questions:
- where did you get the water pump/case guard from? I presume they're like hens teeth, I might have to get one made, would it be possible to get some photo and measurements, unless you want to send the guard to me to use as a template Whistling

- did you get the engine case/clutch cover anodised or something else?

Yeah mate I fluked getting the skid plate and water pump guard
We also had to make and weld on tabs to the frame to be able to use the parts as these don't fit the stock frame not a big deal just more rooting around
How's your bike coming along ?

Haven't even started the bike yet, just got another job after getting laid off 12 months ago, so some other stuff will have to take priority.

Looks like I won't be doing finke next year Sad but at least I'll be super prepared for the one after

Hey Guys thought i might start sharing the build of my 2000 kx250 i really like the look of the 2000 splitfire bikes and the bike is new enough that it will also be great fun to ride originally i was just going to rebuild it and put a sticker kit on the bike and of i go ........But it turns out i'm not very good at controlling myself and once i started my treasure hunt for parts well let's just say i'm lucky my wife doesn't ask to many questions about my bikes.However compared to other bikes on this forum it won't come close to that but for me i am trying to find the balance between a nice looking bike and something that will also be super fun to ride.

This is what i brought 2000 kx250 i payed 1400 clams for it






Being in Australia it was not easy to work out how to get my frame done in Flo Green but a bit of scratching around and i had it sorted so i stripped the bike down made a box for parts to be hydro blasted another box which was actually really just the bin for all of the crappy parts and of the frame went to get powder coating





unfortunately for me when i stripped the bike at this point i wasn't very familiar with certain things and i saw another 2000 splitfire that was once done on this forum loved it got in touch with this person and sent him parts off of my bike to have work done any way long story short i am now down a set of hubs and brakes and a bit of engine parts sadly i am not the only victim of this person so people please be aware 99% of people into these bikes are great people but please be aware of the 1% however we all live and learn so i will continue this build for you



Like i said i wanted this bike to be nice to ride so i thought Fuck it shelled out some more dollars and purchased myself a kx450f set of kyb sss forks and a matching pro circuit triple clamp to suit. Then figured i would just drink beer with my mates and stare at it till we figure out how to make it all fit sure enough we did






ok so now we are getting to about as far as i am at for the minute this is a picture of the forks in the bike and this is the additional steering stop which i haven't yet finished but i know it will work out





And this is my Treasure Pile i have so far accumulated Like i said before 99% of people are fantastic especially the people on this Forum Thank you very kindly to those of you !

I am in desperate need of a original 2000 splitfire seat cover i don't want to use this evo mx one if i can avoid it please if you know of one email me at
mawestbury@gmail.com



I'm curious to the powder coat you used, I know it's flourecent green but where do I find it ?

I'm in Melbourne mate
but if you get the march edition of ADB magazine which i think is out in Febuary they are just finishing doing a build feature on the bike you can check out
Then also once the Bike is built they are going to do another Feature on it again and we are going to put a Pro rider on the bike to test it and give their opinion on the bike
so keep a eye out for it
Hopefully it comes out good
