Sweet bike. I like the black side plates. I am not so sure of the xgx graphics...what is it a picture of? I think it would look sick with black rims.

Nice job Phil.

For your info, Sand Del Lee track near Munster opens on April 23 if you need to get out for a rip

Looks Good!! Which fender pack is on your bike? I have been looking at the Dirt Bike Gear Medium bag like I have on my KTM but I'm not so sure my KX fender will suport what a medium bag will hold. Might go with the KDX Fender Pack.

But I bet motopark in QC is open sooner ;-)

SDL is a swamp...

I heard the almonte pit is open again - heard anything about that?

It is a kdx bag from them. Fits great, doesn't hit my ass and holds all the tools I need it to.

Here's mine with XGX's flame graphics...

xsnrg · Apr 1, 2005

I like the flames! Those with the black side plates and black or green rims.

By the way, check out the Moose fender pack, and and also these, I think they are better made. We use the dirt-bike-gear number plate bags and they are well made, but with any, we use clear tape to protect the number plate decals from rubbing off.

http://www.dirt-bike-gear.com/ (Ballistic Bag) - there is even a version made especially for the KDX.

Nice Job

Very nicely done. I have nearly all of the same mods, my head is being done by RB right now. Was the difference very noticeable?
Where did you find the carbon fiber pipe guard.? I'm looking for carbon frame guards too, but can't seem to find any.

Thanks

Thanks Phil. Knowng you have the KDX bag and it is working well for you this is probably what I will go with. I really like my medium bag but I'm not so sure about mounting it on a MX Fender that doesn't have a great deal of support. Looks like the KDX bag would be just the ticket.

You left the tall seat foam off the list.

Have not finished the break in on the new parts - waiting for good weather this week.

E-line Carbon fibre pipe gaurd and most other parts came from Central Alabama Motorsports in Clanton, AL.

fax: 205-280-0920
And they have great prices (or else I would not order from alabama to Canada ;) )
You can tell them Phil Jensen Sent you and it will probably make the pricing even better (me and my buddies buy lots of stuff there).

I am only 6' tall The stock foam is working great. Try standing up more if it bothers you ;)

1tontj, do you have good pic.of the ram mount set-up on your bike? I was thinking I might try one this year. Do you recommend it?

No, no good pics of it.
Yes I reccomend it 100% - it is great and very tough.

What is the rise on your Tag x5 bars? I'm wanting to get a higher rise bar. I'm 6'2" and yours look higher than mine. Did you have to change the bar mounts? I've also heard renthal Jimmy Button style or any CR Hi bars are a good rise for taller guys. I don't want a lot of pull back on them though.
PS. anyone know where to get a tall seat for a KDX. thought Fredette would have it but couldn't find one there.

These bars are great for me.
They are much taller than my previous CR hi bends, and have way less sweep than the CR ones.

They are TAG X5 "mini works" bend
They have a height of 118mm
sweep of only 42mm
and are only 740mm wide, so they are perfect for the woods with no cut down required. Bolted right on, no mods required.

I think they are the best bar to buy for a KDX with a 6'+ tall rider.

that thing looks sick.. Im liking the XGX graphics.. I hae them too.. the screamer one I think? On that silencer, you can cut it down to mak eit look better... a "shorty". it isnt much louder either.

Wow! :cool: That shop is about 30 minutes from my house. I know those guys. Royce and Phil are great! BTW, Clanton is a really small town about 40 miles south of Birmingham.

You mean Royce and Wes? I'm Phil ;-)

Some more pics of my KDX in action

Mully changed my post to:
:rotfl: man that is funny.

So why can I not link my gallery here? I would just upload the pics, but I was too lazy to do all the resizing and so on, so I thought I could link my other site gallery here?
How come I can't? I see other people linking galleries (including those that require you to login) in many other threads and mine gets editted?
Strange way to treat a paying member...
