Hello! Got a ca street legal '02 yz250 and an Idaho street legal 05 banshee (yes, I have multi state residency). Had an '09 crf450 but one time I fell asleep riding it cuz it was so boring so I sold it. :P Just sayin hello cuz I've got an interesting project I'm plucking away at. My 250 needed a top end last month after a beating in the Barstow desert. so instead I just bought a rebuilt kx500 motor. Chp is cool with the swap as long as I send them the new engine #'s within 10 days of the swap, so now im tracking down a cdi and exhaust, then it's time for a transplant when I get back from Thailand next month and move into my new place. Hold on tight this will be a fun ride guys and gals!

Welcome!
That sounds like a wicked swap.
I assume the plating was done in 2002, so you're not constantly fearing revocation. :smirk:
Post up photos of this beast.
Loving every minute of my plated 500cc 2T.

Right you are dan! Paperwork shows that it was plated by the dealership in '02. We'll see how long I can keep my license :P

What I really need to talk to you is how to be in two places at the same time.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome everybody! Comparing the 250 motor to this side by side, there's no guarantee it might not still seem slightly van-like between my thunderthighs. But i know it's gonna be truckin' :P

Secret is to own property in a different state than you make your money in! I rent in California cuz there's no way I could buy anything here or would want to, no offense of course. Just came to suck whatever money is left in this crashing state and book it on out :wink:

Still doesn't work for me to be in two places at once. No sense in restricting it to two states where property ownership is concerned. Just watch for states that want to tax your income from another state just because you own property in "their" state.
 
Updates today! Been really busy with work this month. finally got time to jump on this project. No mods have been done to the frame. The KX fits with the rear axle and lower engine bolt lining up. will need to modify the head bracket and make some adapter for the front engine bolt.
