Here's a pretty sweet build that I went way overboard with. There are very, very few parts that aren't either new or NOS. I never had one when I was a kid (had CR80) but I love the looks of the KX and when the opportunity came last year I jumped on it. To name just a few trick items, the engine is the 105cc factory option which was then was worked by Tom Morgan. Custom built YSS shock and converted to 428 chain/sprockets. The list is almost endless.

Hats off to you for a fine build. Thanks for all the pictures. That airbox! I remember hating the way I couldn't get the filter through the opening without smearing oil everywhere. Your silencer terminates ahead of the rear number plate more than the stock arrangement, which is good for keeping it clean.
The bike has the stock carb but larger jetting for the 105cc kit.
