Ever since i was a teenage boy i always loved the looks of a Splitfire KX. They were one hell of a trick looking bike, and had some really cool parts amongst it! They were sure a very successful team over the years with plenty of talent go through the team.
I found this bike local to me, about 2 hours from home and the condition was very poor. It hardly ran, the airboot didnt even meet to the carb, the electrical was a mess and dodged up everywhere i looked, i payed $1200 AUD for this bike, a bit over 12 months ago from today.
From then i stripped the bike to nothing, all before i even began to look for parts and availability etc. I never realised how hard to find and rare alot of these parts are for these bikes and the price on some of the stuff.
Took me some emailing and question asking to find who and where can do the correct frame colour with in AUS for me, i ended up finding a company and got my frame organised and sorted which was interstate. Whilst i was interstate i was on a boys trip doing some ride parks and the party thing as you do at 23 years old. Last day of riding i ended up shattering my heel in my left foot leaving me needing to have surgery. 8 days later i went in and had 9 screws put in to hold it all together and told 8 months till i would walk... This put my bike project on the back burner but gave me time to source up alot of parts and ideas, until the money dried up for me.
So i will start with a few photos etc and if i get enough interest i will keep this thread going with updated photos along the way. Yous let me know if you want more.
Cheers
