Check your local  powdercoat guys. I got a KTM 125 frame done (white) in February for $100 by a local powdercoater.

According to MXA those 08 and 09 125s were rockets. KTM make a great small bore smoker thats for sure. Nice buy Ethan, be sure to post up some vids once its rebuilt. I can't believe you're not a fan of the black wheels though, they really mesh well with the seat and graphics I reckon. But I suppose after a tire change it probably looks like a burnt steak with salt on it.

That,s a good deal for the ktm, but I think your going to have problems, like the head stay braket-why does someone grind it off. The previous owner prob. gobbled the whole bike up, rear brake lever is bent or gobbled up. My advice is to sell it, the keep taking money-ktm will never come close to the cr,s handling, craftmans ship, or reliability. The mid to top motor doesn,t suit your riding style of riding. If your borred with the cr, have JM racing in Tx. do the porting, guarentee it will beat any ktm then.

the rear brake is not messed up, its just disconnected from the spring/reservoir. it is like this because munn ktm had to take the whole clutch cover off to see what was wrong with it, and instead of taking stuff off they just loosened it. obviously when i start tearing it down i'm going to look over everything and replace what is necessary. And just from looking at this bike, it it years ahead of the cr in craftsmanship
