I made a few extra weld on brackets for converting the stock 89-02 KX500 swingarm to use late model KX250/450 rear brake caliper holder and caliper. Requires milling or grinding the old bracket off and welding the new on. You’ll also need to mill out the axle slots to 25mm to use the larger KX250/450 axle. But you can now use KX450 wheels instead of hard to find KX500 wheels. I can perform the machine work and and welding conversion if you need it.
Cost per bracket = $125, I have 8 to sell at this time. Thanks, Joe

Hey Joko

 By chance those 5 made it through to 2025?

 I decided I need to swap the KX450F modded rotor and spacers I have to fit my stock KX500 swingarm so I can run a modded rear brake caliper with my YZ250 master cylinder. Please let me know. Thanks!

If you have 2 left, I'll take the second one. 

Thank you!
