Absolutely awesomely clean build! Beautiful weld beads!.Superb video edit your build, magnificent 2 stroke beast KX500AF and you went over the top with the Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd tunes.
Wow! Awesome build!! Looks amazing bike! Raced these beasts for years in the early 90's!! How? I don't know lol. Just seeing the rear mudguard bounce whilst ticking over made me shiver!! Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
Scott Glennie thanks Scott appreciate the comment , did you ride the kx and cr 500's which did you prefer ? my favorite is still the cr 500 , made about 9 cr 500's af's , this kx500 af and 1 cr250 af , had loads of steel frame cr500's one of the best bikes to ride , well it rides you haha
That is an amazing build.Love the choice of the best aftermarket stuff available,and the pro level attention to detail. Time travel...imagine turning up to a race in 91 with that bike!
TheBestPuppa thanks buddy , I have sworn never to build another 500 af , made around 10 now and no more :) check my other vids & thanks for the legend comment much appreciated.brett
watched for the bike, the tunes made it all the more better😎. I am doing a kx250 right now, been trying to snag a 92 kx500 engine off my neighbor for years now! your bike is where I will set my standards for when the day comes for my 500 build. amazing job!
You're either single, ore incredibly good at hiding what you do from your wife/GF. As much as I would absolutely do what you just did here, there is no way that my wife would go for this!! lol Kudos man! That thing is sick as hell!! No videos of you riding it?
lol , the GF has no choice [hope she does not see this haha] . cheers bud appreciate the comment, and unfortunately no quality vids , i normally ride them once or twice and start building something else .
That was a beautiful build. Hope to own either a CR500 or KX500 one day. I have a friend that has a YZ465 that he's been talking about putting together but he can't decide whether to put it on the bike frame or a go cart or something. I really want to ride a big bore 2-stroke. The sound alone is enough to make you fall in love with them.
holy fuck bro that's beautiful as fuck and being a welder those are some very quality welds. the bike just gives everyone a woody period. fuck yeah man
build it back and keep the steel frame unless your only about the looks of a modern bike. the bike will be happier and better balanced i promise. the 1989 kx250 stock tank or some of the ty davis tank pipe combos can get the bike to be skinnier near the gas cap for sliding forward on the seat. again the af 500s are for the modern looks. many people think the old "cardboard robot" kx500 shapes look meaner and more intimidating anyway. if you buld a af bike get ahold of me and i'll buy some of your leftover steel frame stuff. especially the steel frame.
Apply the same "resto-mod" treatment to the venerable Suzuki RM370 and I will forever be in awe.... modern Ohlins, aluminium fuel tank, carbon bits....
Now that's something I would've been interested in I was actually looking for a rm500 but they are big cash & very hard to come by . Appreciate the comment Ta
Nice job mate. I plan on COMPLETELY restoring my 1994 KX250 SF to absolutely stunning glory. I just spent 1500USD on the motor alone. With parts, labor, and the bike I'm 3500USD into it. The big end bearing shit out on the crank so I went all out. New HotRods crank, Pro-X C piston, Athena gaskets, Boysen Carbon Fiber reeds, Wiseco clutch plates, clutch hub, and clutch basket. Bought an FMF Fatty and Powercore2 silencer. I got quite a bit so far. Love your projects. I have several going as it is but my KX250 is my pride and joy.
Thanks I'm looking to get my hands on an old IT465 or a PE400 would like to restore one of those in the near future no more customising just factory standard but like new . Hope your build goes well
That's beautiful! What pipe is that?? My friend made one for me, '98 motor, 09 250f frame. Mine has the FMF fatty pipe that he cut apart and re-welded to fit, but my kick starter hits it... I would love to know what pipe you used and how you modded it! Great work!
Brad Barclay thanks man I had better songs playing to but RUclips banned my vid idiots , anyway I used a cr500 exhaust (procircuit) from 92-01 had to make some mods to fit it but nothing severe my only big mod was the moving of the water port from the side of the cylinder to the rear like the older cr500s . Appreciate the comment
Nicely done mate. 6 years on and people like me are just finding it and loving it. I have a 2003 KX250 with a 95 KX500 engine. It was poorly built so I am mid way through doing it properly. Smart ideas to relocate the water inlet, the pipes are a big challenge getting them around the water pump and pipe as it. Did you weld it on yourself? Any special tips?
Brian Simpson hi bud , yes done everything myself , I would’ve changed a few things if I had to do another one but in the end it came out ok . I replicated the older cr500 cylinder water ports . If you have a look at Travis Pastranas Rm500 they moved that port too but to the place of the newer cr500 cylinders . Makes a big difference with the clearance from the exhaust , used a cr500 exhaust too .
@@corradoeaton I think the outlet relocation is a must do on the KX500. I have found a pipe specifically build for the AF builds which has the correct outlet but needs the relocation also. Did you find the PC did clear okay or did you still need to shape the back around the cylinder?
Brian Simpson it cleared well exactly like an 86 cr500 would , I had a coil spring going over the rad hose with a heat resistant sleeve , it worked perfectly . I did have to change the exhaust bends etc but that mod had to be done without making other big changes .
Rick Feith in all honesty I cannot remember as done this a few years back and have since then done a few other projects etc but most likely yes as that kx lump was very tight in the KXF frame .
will mcclung definitely more vibration that’s why most of my cr500 builds I started using the American fasst flexx bars with the dampers helped with arm pump .
It was a few months back around July . Had it in for £5500 with everything plus spare like new engine casings , cylinder , new piston std SSF Showa 2011 forks , spare talon wheels exactly the same as the new ones pictured , loads of stuff .
Nice job, what did you use to clean the crank cases up like that? Or are they new, also what year model frame did you use? An what triple clamps are they? Thanks
Hi bud the cases were all vapour blasted very cheap to get done as well . I used a set of Xtrig Trimble clamps with built in dampers to reduce the vibration and arm pump that these machines produce . Frame was an 07 kxf 250 hope hat helps pal. Thanks Brett
Thanks man, helps heaps, I'm currently building a kx125 bored an stroked to a 155cc, wish I had of known about vapour blasting before I assembled the cases
+Taylor Moore lol it makes everything look like new , I vapour blasted everything all the brake calipers , mounts etc , and chromed all the shafts and bolts .
Next build I want to do is a kx500af, which is why I asked what frame you used, I was thinking of using a 2015 kx450f frame but thought I might have issues with air box an rubber boot fitting, because of the 450 being fuel injected
+wsmaga nothing spectacular as it was only to test then sell . I really should have but as all the tyres and wheels etc were brand new I never wanted to mark them at all :(
Bradley Castle not at all bud , I changed the water port from the side to the rear of the cylinder to allow better clearance for the exhaust . Service Honda/Kawasaki turn that specific port to face upward and have a horse shoe silicone hose , all I did was try something different that's all 👍
That seems like its twice as much work than converting a Honda... but its definitely twice as cool. Can you explain the whole part that showed changing the location of the coolant port on the jug? What/why? And how much of the frame had to be cut and refabed?
Hi Scott To be honest it was a lot more messing about than the honda cr500's as I have made about 8or9 of those as well (check my other vids). The relocation of the port just meant that I could use the cr500 exhaust without modifying the chamber only the brackets changed . Personal preference really , service Kawasaki makes a U bend out of silicone which is easier but I thought of trying something a little different .

The frame is exactly the same as the cr500 af builds identical really , I used its original Y piece and welded in two new cradle legs , the o my other nightmare was the LH rad as the original kxf one was way too long so I used 2x rh filler units and modded it to fit the LH with everything being deleted that was not required .
What’s up bro my name is Deon I wanna know where did you get the Y-piece from that’s the only thing stopping me from completing my build I also have a 09 kxf 250 did you make the Y-piece your self if so how much would you charge to make the Y-piece or did you Buy it
Deon Forby hey what’s up Deon , the Y piece was from the original KXF frame which I cut and reused but the rails were bought off of eBay I’m sure you could adapt a generic Y price and use that it’s all trial and error really . Hope that helps Brett
Ok cool thank you bro also thanks for the Quick response I was thinking about purchasing the Y-piece kit on eBay the one they have for the cr500 conversion I’m not sure will it work
Deon Forby no worries , anything is possible really but I just went with what I had and knew as previously I made around 10 Cr 500 af’s and always used the original Y that’s the only reason I went with the original on the kxf . In fact the newer kxfs have a way better looking Y piece . All the best man and good luck , let me know how you get on .
Brett were an I get the frame kit ? I read in comments you broke it ? Like the frame ? Is there's problem with conversions ? I've got a clean donor and would like to build an AF
HI bud broke it meaning when i sold it i stripped it & sold parts separately :) . , i used a cr500 conversion kit cradle legs [frame rails only] readily available from ebay usa . anything else let me know , will try and help where possible. cheers
Rick Feith hi Rick no sir that was where the original water port was , I required it on the rear of the cylinder the same as the old cr500’s used to have ?
Not a dumb question bud "AF" is for aluminium frame , as you probably already know that kawasaki did not make an ally frame 500 neither did Honda , hence why service Gina/Kawasaki started doing them and loads over other people like myself :) Cheers
Honda Cr 500 well I am actually surprised haha that it was only that much there is a dude I know that has a kx 500 motor for sale for 1500$ US I don't know if I should jump on it or not It is Deffently a dream build to have a 500af. I know its a lot of work to do it but I really want to
I have a 1998 kx500 im about to do the same thing to, also a cr250 just rebuilding engine on, can you hit me up with the place you got all your parts from?
this guy on ebay hooked me up with the frame rails and mounts : www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CR500-DOWN-TUBES-Engine-Motor-Frame-Conversion-CRF450-CRF250-CR250-KX500-/261718939172?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cefaa1624 the other stuff was literally off ebay , bits and pieces hope that helps , anything else let me know .
Two strokes 500cc should able too beat 450 four strokes. Traction is better on four strokes. I think depends how good the driver is and knowing the bike.
No worries bud , it's for aluminium frame as the kx and cr 500's were never made with AF frames . Service Honda/Kawasaki make them which cost an arm and a leg .
Best looking kx500 i have ever seen. I liked the build.
Wow man amazing job you inspire me to learn how to build a bike from scratch, that machine is a beautiful work of art

Masterpiece!!!! Well done. How did you get the engine cases so clean?
hi Dan , I bead blasted everything , with glass beads it sort of polishes the ally.
I thoroughly enjoyed this build! Was that a CR500 pipe? Or a "Service Honda KX500AF" pipe? Or?
Baby-Shark GTO 100% correct was a cr500 pipe , and thanks I know the video is a little long winded and RUclips cut all the sound from it .
So much more badass than a cr500
Apply the same "resto-mod" treatment to the venerable Suzuki RM370 and I will forever be in awe.... modern Ohlins, aluminium fuel tank, carbon bits....

Some onboard footage please
can somebody send me information on how to get started on my 500 kx
I may sound dumb for this... But what does the AF stand for ?
Not a dumb question bud "AF" is for aluminium frame , as you probably already know that kawasaki did not make an ally frame 500 neither did Honda , hence why service Gina/Kawasaki started doing them and loads over other people like myself :)

Should be Honda not Gina haha
oh okay. thank you so much.

thanks.
Just curious how muck did the build cost? I am looking into doing one!!!
Donovan Hill hi bud it was roughly 5k "£" that's for everything
so around 6,000K Us Dollar
Donovan Hill you could do it cheaper. It I had the fasst flexx handle bars , plated the suspension gold , ohlins ttx from and rear . It all adds up
Honda Cr 500 well I am actually surprised haha that it was only that much there is a dude I know that has a kx 500 motor for sale for 1500$ US I don't know if I should jump on it or not It is Deffently a dream build to have a 500af. I know its a lot of work to do it but I really want to

I used a Honda cr 500 PC pipe 92-01
Where did u find the pipe
Hi josh I used a 92-01 Honda cr500 exhaust which had to be modified slightly but nothing too hectic .
WOW! I want one!!!! Can I buy one?
Powdercoat the frame green or anodize it blue, and Ill take 2..
how much did it take you to do this?
+MrRAPTOR677 apologies for the late reply , it cost roughly £6000 but thats with myself doing all the work .
