    Dang. Takes me back man, beautifully done! Trying to bring a 97 and 02 kx250 back to life after years of neglect from previous owners. Would love to make a pro circuit theme this clean. Superb job.

      Well you know you've got my full support I'm doing that David! Sounds like you've got a couple rad projects. You just can't go wrong with a PC themed bike. Thanks dude!

    Amazing build once again, you’re on another level of building bikes. Chris owner of Dare Decals USA did an amazing job with the graphics!!! He never skips a beat man congrats a this high caliber of a bike!!!

      Thank you Trent! It was definitely a level I've never gone to before. And you could even go levels above this, it's insane what you can spend on these things. 🤯

    Looking insane, I love the look of Cycra stadium style plates . The zip ties will wear away the fork anodizing very quickly. Maybe throw some 3M clear guard behind the zip ties before you ride it .

    This video series was awesome and the bike is badass! I started my 01 build 2 years ago, budget was smoked weeks in, just patiently waiting on a pipe from P.C. and it's done
    I'd say you are between $8500/$9500 just based on some of my big ticket items.
    Motor -$1200
    Wheels- $1000
    Lectron- $500
    Plastics& graphics- $450
    Galfer brake kit & lines-$500
    Rebuild kits shock, brakes & bearings- $600
    Renthal- $300
    Arc levers - $250
    I haven't added up what was spent on OE parts but im sure it's up there.
    Also ordered some trick billet parts from the UK

    • @GregHitchko
      @GregHitchko  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Heck yeah! Hopefully pro circuit produces that pipe for you soon. More to come out of this build series, I appreciate the kind words 🙏🏼.
      And it's seriously all of the OEM parts that puts you over the edge every time haha

    Looks sweet, sounds great , a good runner for sure. Do those fork guards and the guides on the outer tubes really slide all the way through the full travel of the forks ? If not, just remove those guides. No modern bike has guides attached to the fork sliders. 😊

      @GregHitchko  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    @TH3_T3RM1N4T0R 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Hey Greg, looks like you've got about 8 to 10 grand into that KX in parts alone. I don't know what you paid for the bike, so add that too.
    My 99 KX250 is pretty decent, but it certainly shows it's age if you look closer. Still rips though...
    I honestly wouldn't mind to have some of the stock parts you took off, but shipping would likely be prohibitively expensive to my side of the globe.
    Anyway, awesome build, and very detailed walkthrough. Thanks for that, definitely will come in handy when I give mine a bit of TLC.
    Peace bro.

    • @GregHitchko
      @GregHitchko  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for the kind words my dude! Paid $5k for the bike itself, (covid pricing...makes me want to puke) but really happy with it. Shoot me an email about what oem parts you may want! I get discounted shipping so it won't actually be that bad on you.

    I recon there’s got to be at least 20k in that build maybe a little more tbh some of the era stuff on the bike is near on impossible to obtain with all parts being used up over the years so it’s cost is a premium to obtain it. Greg imagine you were paying your self minimum wage for all the research time, looking for parts plus the assembly/spanner time if you added that to the cost of the build the price of the build would get crazy

    • @GregHitchko
