Does EVS or that company still offer the complete split fire graphics kit with the seat cover? I’ve found a 98 I’d like to re do. Killer build so far

I had a 95 KX125 that I bought new in 97. Such a solid bike. I wanted the chrome looking Pro Circuit look like Pichon had at the time. I may start looking for a one if these.

Looks Great. Are you gonna race it ? 125 racing is pretty big here . My local track had a non ama race . Riders on 90,s to current bikes. The 90,s 125 are still competitive. Cool to see a 97 125 beating a new 125 .

You have to call them and place the order over the phone. For some reason certain pipes aren’t listed on the website. They have some in stock 👍
