    You can have the renthal bars that came off my kx. I went right to the 1 1/8th bars. If your ever in the Haverhill/plaistow area, stop by. If those are 46mm forks, then I have a seal driver you can borrow too.

    Nice, those XRs are beautiful, bulletproof, trail bikes.

    Re: My First Dirtbike

    That is a nice price for that bike! I am taking delivery of another KDX200 this weekend. It has been dual sported and is geared for the moon, but I will have that fixed in no time. Tim, my guess is that those forks are no bigger than 43mm, probably 41's.
    Good Luck with that XR! They are great trail bikes.

    I wondered about that, wasn't sure what they had.

    Looking sharp! The red seat cover really doesn't look that bad with the colorscheme you've got?

    sweeeeeeeet

    edit #1: I have that seat cover on the RM and it's great!

    edit #2: how much dirt riding experience do you have? if you don't mind going with someone who can barely keep the bike running without stalling, I'm ready when you are! I should be yellow plated by Tuesday

    hahah I've been only a handful of times, just started at the end of last summer, I don't mind going at a okay pace and waiting for you. I got my bill of sale, just need a plate now and to pay sales tax

    BTW...fork seals were a BITCH

    thanks Doc, Gino, and Trouble

    Well... If we would have known what we were doing it would have went easier.

    Re: My First Dirtbike

    well got some more work done....been pretty busy so its been a slow process

    Rear wheel bearing, tires mounted, new heavy duty tubes, bark busters..

    Then I find out the sprocket I ordered that said was for a 1995 xr-250r doesnt work.....so gotta wait to put the chain and sprocket on

    Then I gotta put on my seat cover, clean the carbs and get them set up, install new spark plug, fix my throttle, fix an exhaust leak where the headers meet the can, and fix and put on my front break assembly!

    Only other parts I have to order are the boots for the forks...then im in business

    Re: My First Dirtbike

    Paint the frame if u wanna paint something, plastic paint never really works good. Thoes xrs are good trail bikes, i dn if you want to try and regester it and do a on/offroad. It probably wont be able to take jumps but great for some trail riding, goodluck. I got a yz125 and it rips!
