[b]air cooled hybrid pics[/b]

Finally making some inroads in to this long term garage squatter.  After 3 years, the various ebay aquisitions are are starting to resemble the form of a motorcycle. The original plan was to build a low-tech, modern spec woods machine that I could run into trees without ripping off hoses and cooking it.  Good suspension and brakes would be a bonus.

So this is it so far - 86 KX frame ad swing arm, 87 KDX motor, 87 KX shock, 98 RM forks and front wheel.  Everything's rebuilt to new, apart from the frame which is still evolving to take the updated parts.

So far its had re-welded lower engine mounts, fabricated front mounts, next will be cylinder head mounts and subframe mounts (89 KX125 subframe and airbox waiting patiently to join in the fun).

Exhaust and tail pipe are on the way from US.  This will let me get this old motor running in the chassis (it's been sitting under the bench for 2 years, getting turned over occasionally)

The biggest bucks (I'm sure) will be getting a low-boy alloy tank made up.  I'll post more pics as it progresses.
