What year(s) of KX chassis would be prefered for the conversion??
Have a 03 KX125...love the handling and a '99 KDX220 of which I love the power delivery. Won't use these two, but what generation of KX makes sense?? I can "ebubbl bait an engine :coocoo: , me-guesses :ride:

i used a 99 kx125 frame and a 1990 kdx200sr motor.
so had to
-machine the rear engine stay braket off the cylinder head
-make a new head stay bracket and bolt it to the head
-also you have to "dent the bottom of the tank" to clear the taller engine
if you use the current kx125 i dont think these are an issue.
then you either have to get an exhaust made to fit the frame/engine
i used a gasgas200 pipe and dented the back with a lump hammer to clear the plastic kips cover which sticks out a lot.
kawasaki dented the back of there standard pipe for the same reason.
i built this bike for a friend, a girl of about 5' 4"
we've just recently shaved the seat foam down cus she found it a little tall.
if i was to build another one for her,,, or someone of the same height id put the kdx200 engine in a big wheel kx85
if i was to make one for myself,, id use a current kx125 frame and a post 95 kdx200 engine which i'd bore to 225cc
