So my 95' KX250 that I built has been rode and abused for the past few years and since I just sold my 2015 CRF250R I decided to tear it down to the frame once again. However, this time i'll be making it a 1995 Larocco Replica. So far i've found the Acerbis disc guard, acerbis frame guards, a carbon fiber ignition cover, a stock pipe that I'm having blasted and will later use a torch to add some color to the welds, a NOS muffler, and i've ordered a reproduction seat cover and graphics from the UK. I've also dug out of my parts pile an extra seat, a silver set of wheels, plastics, and a skinny 95' style swingarm that's more period correct. I found a set of old school MXA graphics and a old school kevlar seat cover too. The seat cover is stained so i'll be using that seat when I ride it. I hope to have the frame painted by Thursday and to have it all done in the next three weeks or so. I've got the hardest parts done, which was sourcing period correct parts and the Acerbis guards since they don't make them anymore.
I'm going to make this build pretty darn accurate. The only inaccuracies will be that It wont have the KHI works hubs, KHI works rotors, KHI works shock, and KHI works forks. I believe the ignition cover I found is an old works part since it has KHI on it inside the cover. Since the works bike had magnesium inner and outer clutch cover I will be getting them anodized to closely resemble the factory bikes back in the day. I read in an interview in an mx mag that they actually ran the stock pipe and just sand blasted it and heated the welds so that it had that "works" look! Eventually, I hope that I can get the fork tubes Kashima coated so they are more accurate as well, but i'll probably just have the local racing shop revalve and spring the for me for the time being!
If anyone finds some Purple Renthals or a Purple/Yellow Renthal bar pad Let me know please!!!
Now enjoy the picture show
The End Goal
Start of the Teardown
Motor finally out!
Cleaning up the pieces..
Wheels all nice and cleaned that I'll use when I ride it in SuperEvo races
Here's the extra graphics and stained cover i'll be using when I ride it
Close up of the Stain, looks like mildew stains so i might try a mr clean magic eraser on it..
The surprise seat cover under the seat cover i've been using for the past couple years
I'll update with more pictures once i'm off work!
