I'm doing everything myself except the chassis welds, if all goes well this week you can start, I rebuilt the whole engine, connecting rod, crankshaft, piston, cylinder, bearings .... With patience is not very expensive make a kx AF, here in Spain the work of modifying chassis tig welding work and all the work around has not reached 300 ?
I apologize if I did not express well in another language

This seems due to poor quality aluminum, is that the welds are well but aluminum was broken using aluminum should be no gap 7075 and SOLID!
This is what I and used and this alone costs 40 ? at wholesale prices!
Very important to find a very experienced person to weld it all

Did not mean to offend. Although frame rail and material selection and welding technique and heat treatment before and after welding is especially important for aluminum, I think the head stay design is more crucial to keep undue load off the frame rails and proper loading on the rest of the frame. The guy in the link I provided didn't get it right. I bought my Service Honda KX500AF back in "08" and so far so good. Did a 30' vertical drop off a cliff and the frame survived! Blew out the fork dampners and a large list of other damage. I was on the list too! Lol! Probably have about 200 hours of brutal Nevada desert riding so far. Aluminum is tricky business and SH seems to have it figured out at least on my machine. Good luck on your build!
