I have this 1993 KLX 650 C, seems like no one wants to buy it at even a low price of R17500, now with this virus and the days coming i think the market will shrink even more.

Best seems to keep it.

The engine is in great condition, electrics all work, bike is in good overall condition.

I need some assistance, I have been looking through threads from other builds that have inspired me, Cracker with his KLX, Sidetrack with numerous light weight DS bikes, and so on.

I want to know, is there anyone, especially someone that might be in need and have the skills/time, in the times to come that could do a build for me?
1 Strip down to frame and powdercoat
2. Replace swingarm/ steering and wheel bearings
3. Bead blast engine
4. Replace cushdrive rubbers
5. Assemble

Engine needs no work/opening.
I have neatened up the wiring for most of the part ( I love wiring work)

Just want to see if this is even a doable option, OR do I just buy a Husaberg/ KTM 525, X challenge  type of bike again? Still have to make it road worthy.
