Title: Summer and the off season
Post by: STW996 on November 05, 2008, 05:46:02 pm
Ok guy's the off season is apon us and we are all going to be double busy getting bikes ready for a big next year.

So what do we all have on the drawing board for projects?

Anty up guy's and let it rip ;D

I have two projects and one fix up

#1 Spare 84 CR 250 to strip and re-build (frame and wheels)

#2 Finally get a start on the 74 250 CR again strip and rebuild of frame and alike (look out GMC need you to do tank ;))

#3 Re-powder coat 82 480 frame, was going to keep the white frame thing going? what to the punters think??

well i'd love a 9 x 7 shed, and a CR480, but i'll be playing with my Yammies instead.
need to do something with my RT1, i havn't touched it since i had a main bearing issue back in early august i think.
but have made a bit of a start on my MX250 rebuild, so i'm looking forward to getting that moving along and have also been fiddling with my pre~78 MX125c project which is basically a dt125 frame with a yz125x motor,ohlins rear end on a home made swing arm, tt500 forks and a yz80d feul tank capped off with a rm125n exhaust and nup! none of it fits together properly, but it will.

Shane, i used to paint all my frames white years ago but reckon they look a bit average these days but then again, back then it was pretty cool i thought. i'd stick with white just to relive the 80's

Hmmm... nice looking bike there, Evo!

My plans... Tidy up the shed a bit, top end for the RM125M, 2005 YZ125, and get the IT175 sorted for next years vinduros. Maybe do a bit on that YZ250G I've been crying about.

And with any luck, do a few play days at the local track and try to get a bit quicker so's next year I can look like I know how to ride!

You'll never do it Evo. I'll do you a favour and give ya $50 for the forks or $100 for the lot. ;D.

You have your work cut out for yourself (just getting the bits I would imagine) but I hope you get it done and ready for CD6. The complete bike looks superb 8) ;).
