So over the weekend I drove 4 hours to pick this thing up. It popped up on Facebook Marketplace and I had to have it. My brother had one when they were new. It's a pretty solid bike just needs cleaned up and a few odds and ends. I'm going to tear it completely apart and go through it. This will be my "vintage" race bike next year. I could use a silencer if anyone has one laying around.
The Shop
By the way, Luke Johnson has parts in the Bazaar sales page. I bought the engine, but he might have a subframe for you.
I have installed all new suspension bearings, and started reassembling some of the pieces.
This week I will be dropping off the forks and the links to be anodized.
The original shock for the bike had rust on the shaft and was in super bad shape, a buddy's buddy had a shock laying around off a couple years newer KX. He told me it would fit, well it fits but it's super tight. I'm going to leave it on for now, but I may have to find another 93 shock to rebuild.
I can't decide if I like the stock plate or the vented one better.
I can't decide which bar pad. I'm thinking the yellow one.
Pit Row
On a side note, I purchased another bike over the weekend. My son will be turning 2 in a month and he has more toys than any one could ever play with, so I figured it was time for a PW. I'm more of a Husky guy and any other bike brand so I'm going to do the PW up to look like one of my Huskys.
Over the weekend I traded my 1994 Husky 125 for a 1983 KTM 125. I figured since I have the KX I won't ride the Husky much and it will be nice to have a drum brake bike. It needs couple more things to finish and it will be good to go. I have ordered a set of NOS shrouds and a tank that looks ALOT more white that the one that is on the bike.
I also worked on the little man's bike a little. I think I'm going to have to get a new tank that is not quite as yellow.
I received the last of the decals I had made for the bike earlier this week. I installed a pink set of fork decals but they don't "pop" like I would like. I have a set of yellow ones I'll probably change them out for. I sent the cylinder off to Millennium Technologies today, hopefully in a couple weeks I can take a spin on the bike.
I had a want to buy add in the for sale section of Vital looking for a PC pipe. I was contacted by a guy who goes by ritarider12 on here. He put me in contact with a "buddy" of his named Josh Reece, joshuareece431@gmail.com. He ended up scamming me out of some money for the pipe. It was stupid of me to buy something through friends and family, but I've learned my lesson. Hopefully he doesn't scam anyone else on here. So if anyone has a pipe for a 92-93 KX they would like to sell I'm still on the hunt.
I'm very happy with the way the bike turned out. I've pretty much touched every piece of the bike.
You did an awesome job so far. I am sure you will get that clutch figured out.
On a side note, I am looking for a Pro Circuit Works for my 98 KX250 if you or anyone else comes across one.
