[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1376356, member: 104942"] Here is another interesting option I stumbled upon... As you that have been following my saga of the "95 KDX in a bucket" will recall, the bike came with one of the seat frame rails completely detached, and the other badly bent, and the bracket in the middle gone. Must have been one heck of a loop. So anyway, I had to fabricate replacements for the missing parts, and weld them to the existing surviving bits. I got great help here with people running out to the garage and measuring things. People were very generous with their time. All was well, then I helped a buddy buy a KDX-220, and another buddy bought a KDX-200, and all three now sit in my garage (never let friends know you have jets laying around and are willing to help doing jetting ;) ). I looked, and both the other KDX's are about an inch higher then my KDX. Interesting. Looked at suspension parts, preload, etc, and it all looks the same on all three bikes. I think (haven't done detailed measurements, but it looks pretty obvious) that I actually ended up fabricating my tail section to be about an inch lower then stock (at the highest point by the tail light). The net effect is that it gives me a little extra gap between the seat and the tank, but not much, and I haven't had the rear tire touch the fender yet... or anything else that I can tell. So that would be another option to have on the table if your frame is already hacked up and needing frame paint or powder coating anyway. It's a free 1" lowering... just heat the frame up with a propane torch and carefully bend with a breaker bar where you want it to bend... I'm not sure I would recommend it... I did it by accident... but it is a possibility. [/QUOTE]
