2018 kx125 Plastics Conversion
Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2018 9:59 pm
I’ve been on the look out for a kx125 to do this conversion to for a few months now, I stumbled across an 08 model for $1800 online (08 was the last year kx’s were bought into New Zealand new) I have to get it shipped to me but with them selling for around $3000 I couldn’t pass up this opportunity! My plan is to put the 2018 plastics, sub frame, seat and tank on the 08 frame, Motor wise I’m looking at getting it rebuilt plus V-force reeds, pro circuit pipe and a port and polish job done. Aesthetically I’m hoping for the usual goodies such as the green hubs, unbreakable levers, black shifter etc. First thing I’ll be doing though is getting a set of race tech gold valves! Arrival date for the bike is around the 20th of April so I’ll hopefully keep this thread up to date with the project from then on, I’d love some feedback and ideas throughout the build so please let me know what you’re thinking! No pictures of the bike yet obviously so I’ll start off with the original conversion that I drew inspiration from, built by pro circuit mechanic Jon Primo.
