Message: [QUOTE="ebeck, post: 1170449, member: 74219"] A KX/KDX hybrid is alot easier than people make it sound. I say this becasue I use information that is out there already so there were no real suprises. TT member Bucket was the first to do this I think. He provide alot of the information for me. I'll put together a complete how to when it is over in one post. Really on a scale of 1 to 10 is is about a 4. I do not work with my hands for a living by thee way. I bought a new angle grinder yesterday and this was the first time I ever used an angle grinder. I have usewd dremel's before but this is my first time working with metal.:applause: My advice have a machine shopp modify the swingarm and rear motor mount in the engin case. It cost about $230 but it is dead nuts accurate. No slop what so ever. It likley fits better than stock. The cuts are at thousandths precision such as 9.345 mm. [U]Anyhow, here are the remaining issus and how they were solved.[/U] The fuel tank needs to be modified to fit the cooling tower. I find that an industrial heat gun abd a pipe with elbow work superbly. [IMG]http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/2135/picture001mediumbf9.jpg[/IMG] Here is what it looks like when done.
