Hey everyone. I'm new to the forums, so bear with me. I recently came across a bike on CL that had some interesting parts on it that I couldn't let slip by. I paid nearly nothing for the bike, and rightfully so..it needs a lot of work. It has PC clamps, PC works pipe without any numbers on the tag, a carbon skidplate, PC axle blocks, Clutch perch, PC pegs, and some interesting shock links that I've only seen on Stews 125's from 01-02 and GP SR's from the same years. They are similar to the old PC ones but the inset is squared instead of rounded. They're definitely machined parts. One of the rad louvers also had remnants of a chevy logo. I know it's a stretch but i remember some of his bikes circulating around down here after he went pro and some of the local FL guys were even racing them at Gatorback and such during the WinterAMs and Gold Cup. Also, I used to own an RC bike from his 97 year at Splitfire PC that had the same rear caliper bracket/hanger on it. It's billet and has KXR97 engraved into it. I'd love to get some discussions rolling on what you guys think about this bike being linked to Stew or at the very least info on the rad parts.
The Shop
Its got quite a lot of PC parts on it to not be a PC bike.
oh and your from florida...your odds of it being a stewart bike just went sky rocketing up
Pit Row
Some neat parts. Looks to have the basis for a nice rebuild.
It's a rad find and I've been trying to get some 01 PC graphics for it. Anybody know an option there?
Dare Decals are great dudes but they can't replicate them without a set...so I had them reproduce the simple green kit for me. Always wanted a set so I may just save those for a future 02 build.
That's cool about the powder coating. I had a feeling that was something important. I poured over photos of 01 KX frames and nothing was there. The AMA sticker is less rectangular after I gave a second look.
I'm about 30min from the Stew compound. The bike is a 2001.
I think Kyle was still on small bikes, maybe not for schoolboy, at the time (and still faster than me he beat me and several times on his 80s), but Donnie was on the 125s at the time if not then that following year for sure. I almost bought one of his race bikes back in 02. At that time I was still kooking around in C class and just drooling over the PC team green bikes hucking the elevator at Gatorback. I was going to ask Kyle or his Dad next time I saw them.
It came as a full bike sans the brake caliper and a silencer. The plastics were ratty as hell. I'll give the engine a good once over when it gets all cleaned up. You can imagine how ratty the engine looks just by seeing the doodoo at the swingarm. The frame doesn't have any tabs welded for the skid just those hooks.
I'm stoked to get an answer on those linkage arms I thought it was inventing evidence by staring at blurry pics on the internet.
Keep it coming, thanks guys! Once I start the rebuild I'll put a nice build thread together with a shoutout to all you guys for being rad!
