out of my new kx no. me and my friend were going to build one from a 1990 kdx200. put a yamaha xs650 or a kawi 1100 but didnt get around to it and the frame got tossed. id like to have like some 18 inch or so extentions for my new kx250 because i mainly to hillclimbing not racing and i need to keep the front end down since i weigh a measily 130. anyone made them,know someone that makes them?

I know you've gone to Carnagie <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> have you asked at Skipps?? and see what they say??

I rode with a guy at Carnagie who had a extended swingarmed CR500, while it climbed a bit better than my bike it did every thing else worse. He couldnt jump or hit berms as well on that bike.... thats why he also had his CR250 with him <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0"> They make a fun second bike!!

It seems like it wold be alot of work to change back and forth just to do some hills <IMG SRC="smilies/smokin.gif" border="0">

well ill ask at skips nexttime. as for changing back and forth, i dont do the track unless i go to club moto. i do hills at carnegie and we were sitting down in a bowl on juniper,some kid on a cr500 with extentions just BLASTED up the hill like it was nothing.im gonna get a used 500 soon, i had to use my 400 in the 500 class at the last hillclimb,but hey atleast i didnt come in last <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
