Shed.  :o That's somewhat of an understatement! ;D

Looks good, not knowing what a KSI is,  :-[ .......what size motor is that?

yeah the shed is good, had some spare forks and shocks so gave a 250XL a birthday. Not sure about the Harley tank, sort of does the job./

OMG, no let me re-phrase that, OMFG! You and those farm bikes, Marc.  ;D I can think of better uses for a pair of Fox air shocks.
Cheers,

mate with all that quality suspension this thing is going to handle like its on rails. The grunt of an XL250 combined with the legendary handling of an early YZ.... what the hell were KSI thinking about in the first place.

That bike is coming up in VMX soon, plus a couple of other bling numbers from the UK.

cool, I have been looking for a test through the old VMX library and can only find a brief article on a bike in Sweden grouped together with a couple of Husky hybrids.

Arizona Mike had the last one for sale for 10K US or then there abouts, I decided to go DIY due to having a surplus XL250. Mine will have a better looking seat.

you can still buy those flip up monza tank caps if you want them. I think the Harley tank has to go though but what else could you use that looks better ???

if you want those yellow ovals with the fox head logo email this place, they got them www.suzuki-pe.co.uk
they also have JT ones and the M-Robert ones like on Georges Jobes 79 RH250 will be available shortly.

perhaps a 78 cr 250 tank something steel with a bit of size that tank thats on would look alright but there is a bit of a void there looks like it will look good regardless of tank thanks Michael. :)
