poxon 5,909 Posted July 14 Author Report Share Posted July 14 Picked up another project bike another 2003 kx 125 to build over the winter I flat packed it down and got it in the back of a little Audi s3 hatch back lol. It amazes me how people can let these bikes get so rough an battered up there’s never no nice surprises on these sort of bikes I’m a bit unsure on weather to restore it as a oem build to try and keep the cost of build in check or do a race theme replica bike as I’ve been learning a new skill lately I’ve been learning how to do carbon fibre to make a few discontinued factory race parts that were on the pro circuit race kxs in the hay day of mx. Any one else picked up any new projects? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
