KDX 100 Project for the Wife
Posted 08 May 2007 - 07:33 PM
I actually drove to chuck stealhys house to pick up the flywheel weight and he had a kx100 in his garage which had the kick stand on it , when i seen it i bought it , nice looking product and designed by him.
You could also look at kawasaki.com ,go to parts finder and go older on the kx100
i think like a 96 or 98 and they show a kick stand , you can buy every part, might want to check that out also.

Yep, that's what I have on my 95. It was available from 95-97. They removed the mounting tab from the frame in 98. If you have access to a welder it would be easy to add it to a newer bike.

Thanks!
Update: I haven't gotten any parts in. I cleaned the filter and changed the oil last night so we could go ridding tomorrow. I will let you guys know when I get some parts on it! I will take some pics too.

I was in the exact same situation, and I said screw it and bought the Steahly. I don't regret it. It bolts on easily and works well. I have noticed that I need to keep an eye on the bolt, as it keeps loosening a little. I need to take a few minutes to pull the nut off and Loc-tite it. I have also noticed that when my son falls on the left, it will bend in slightly, and allow it to rub the swingarm when it gets towards the top of its travel. Just give it a little pull and it is right back where it needs to be. Oh yeah, the Works frame guards needed to be massaged a little to get the right fit, but it turned out great. Sorry, but I don't have any pics.

The wife did good on the KX yesterday. The loose hills gave her the most problems. FWW should help with that. She did loop it and kill the new clutch lever I put on the day before the ride!
I got the KLX headlight mounted. Not wired yet. It looks sweet!

I also ordered the tab that the kick stand mounts on. I may weld it directly to the frame or make some tabs and weld them to the frame, then bolt on the mount.

Does anyone have picture hosting capabilities? I can host pics, but not link them directly.

How much of a difference does that FWW make? How did it ride before and after it?

Made some progress on the wifes.
Got the Graphics/ seat cover on. Ordered Steahly's "standard size" LED tail light and liscense plate holder along with a 12v regulator. Also bought a WR450 headlight switch off of ebay.
Got the kickstand tab fabbed and welded on. I am still waiting on the kick stand bolt to come in. The bolt that connects the stand to the mouting bracket has a shoulder on it so I decided to order it.
Also, painted the frame where the welds heated it up and also the new tab I added. Anybody know where to get some kawasaki matching paint? Closest I could find anywhere (including the craft/ hobby stores) is painfully obviously not the right color. Sticks out like a sore thumb!
I will take some pics when I get the rest on it. I keep thinking of taking pics, but it needs the tail light, handlebars, handguards and the kickstand still, so I think I'll wait.

Not sure on the paint do you have any friends that work at a body shop?
I was thinking someone could mix to match the frame.
