Lower radiator crossover hose just clears head stay mount...



With the motor sitting in the forward rotation the return hose is against the motor, so I will just have to keep an eye on it for wear...

And I she lives..I rode her around a bit today. I already feel the difference with the Ron Black mods. With the same jetting, the motor feels to have more bang through its range and it even feels like it lugs better. I suspect the top end will not have changed much with a woods pipe on,but the gears roll quicker with the new found acceleration.

I still have a few things, including replacing the the left side radiator... before hitting the trail.

Nice work man props to you. A friend of mine did this on an 03 kx125 frame and looks like it was way easier than yours. What kind of racing do you do?
Gotta love Kawi's
