My mate gezza has taken delivery of a neat little 1980 TT250, a bike I've never really seen before. We have plans to get it tidied up and sorted for 2011, aiming to do some 4-stroke class races as well as Vinduro (and I guess take her to CD8).
So, anyone got any hints on these things? I have some spare IT175G forks to slip on and will try to fit up an IT175G shock as well. Engine wise, we plan to build a new header and dump that into a nice little muffler, thereby freeing up the breathing a bit and saving what looks like 250kg of unsightly junk. On the inlet side we'll toss the stock airbox and fabricate something nicer around a Uni Filter pod type filter. That alone should be good for about 65HP at the rear wheel I'd reckon.
What's the word on these engine wise? Are the pistons etc easy to find? Are they reliable? It looks like a mini TT500 engine, and those things go forever.
