Rl250 project

(1/13) > >>

mainline:
Picked up my bargain basement rl250 project today, and at a glance the only major issue (apart from it needing a full resto) is rusty forks. Does anyone know if the upper tubes are common to other models?

Doc:
Paul, pretty sure I used '82 DR250 inner tubes in mine. The RL tube is 'supposed' to be unique to the RL but I never properly sussed out how or why. I think 35mm TM250/400 an RM125M and S may also work. Will try and do do some comparisons when I get a few moments ;)

mainline:
Mucho gracias Doc

Doc:
Hold the gracious till I double check Paul :D..clutching at straws..it was quite a while ago, my grey matter needs defragging and the more I think about it the less I remember exactly just what I mixed now. 'Pretty sure' I still have a pair of rusty RL forks here to check though. The TM/RM fork tubes 'may' have been a little shorter hence I was thinking DR250. TS250ER maybe another option. Shit..I dunno..will have to physically check ::) nice to see you finally have some quality in the stable ;D

mainline:
Don't forget the PE!
