Im going to wrap this up as only fiddly bits to do . The front calipers are dragging so i will pull the brakes apart. Needs fluids and an air filter .
Took me until last night to get down the shed to do something on the beast.
Shes about ready to rumble.

Yes for the 89 500, bought some 6 months ago, the 250 come with a full set of UFO plastics! colour is a little off but can't tell in the light of day.

The side plates are the hardest to get as they were only on this model (88 has different muffler / pipe layout I am told) so still looking.

WOOHOO. Shit these things are awesome. I finished it off this arvo and took it for a spin 'round the paddock.Dug trenches every where. Just after the action shot, the family dog decided to jump in front of me so i promptly ran him over :-[ ,the poor bugger. I put the bike down as well so there is a nice crease in the front guard already ::), so she's run in now :D

Top Job and Nice Photo Brad!

pity the tanks on this model are so wide huh, makes it hard getting up over the front to keep the wheel down ;)

let us know how it compares to your 83 480 and 84 500 when you have time, i'm interested to know your thoughts.
