Next project

Apart from restarting my attempt to make my own picture frames (let me tell you it's not as easy as you think), it's now time to start on the RS 250 project. (Click on the label below, it will take you to the previous posts on the same topic, as well as the pics....)
Some of you will recall that I made a very dubious investment in a basket case motorbike (rebuild project). Well, it's time that I pulled it out from under the covers (so to speak), found all the parts, and started a reassembly of it.
I need to have the motor done up, but want to check that all the parts are actually there before I take it to a bike shop. if not, I'll rather try to find a complete motor at a bike breakers shop, and retrofit that. Will probably be quicker, cheaper and easier in the long run.
I also have to have some bits and pieces made up, which we used this past weekend to finish off LuckyL's bike! yup, many of the RS 250 parts are same / similar / identical to those of his RS125!

So, some posts in the future will be of this project, it's progress, my frustrations, and, hopefully, the eventual successful result!What it (hopefully) will look like eventually!

Damnit man, you're makin' me jealous. I'd give my right arm for a nice little 250 and some decent weather to scoot aboot in.

Good luck with the project.

Stay safe and keep the rubber side down.

Ross, if you want, I'll finish the project, and ship it to you, for a couple of UK Pounds.... at a current exchange rate of about 17 / 1 it will be cheap for you....
