Title: Newbie from Melbourne
Post by: ltketch on July 12, 2009, 06:40:24 pm

Hi all, new here, thought i'd say hi!

HI!

I have a 77 XL250 K3 which I commute on most days, have made a few mods to it, am currently gathering info (dont have much yet) re a big bore conversion!  Any info/suggestions re that are welcome!

G'day there!
Don't seem to see much of that model anymore? Have you laced on a different front rim? didn't think they were chrome?

Thanks for the welcome.

The entire front wheel is from a Yamaha SR250, got it from a wreckers, surprisngly easy to fit with some suitable spacers, it even allowed me to reuse the original Honda back plate/shoes etc.

The bike had been powercoated and cleaned up before I got it, so most of how it looks now is not all my work.
