    refined...

    when I first built it .. I bought the motor with no brackets.. well I simply rotated the front brackets and drilled the holes out.. well after 2 seasons of racing every weekend on akly.. the mounts show sign of cracks ...so to tighten the ol girl up again.. I bought 86 490 front brackets.. bolt on!

    the cylinder I sent out for re-pair ,,, is un repairable.. I have to eat the 1mm over piston I bought and buy a new piston and have the cylinder Re-sleeved,, wiesco sleeve and wiesco piston. Lancourt is installing the sleeve ,, to the tune of twice I was going to pay + the loss on the piston..

    the plus's stock bore again,nika-sil cylinder , and the sleeve will be repairable in the future.

    that dont mean there no work to do.. Pulled all the bearings in the lower end & seals . All will be OEM
    by far the best blind bearing puller for these motors!

    got my old school , cooler rack NOS.. and orderd a new cooler!

    250f front rez, and new lever..nice and short!

    gas tank bracket all bolted up,, thanks MTS!

    That sucks about the cyl. Was it cracked? Or just ed hard at tf? The bike's looking great though, and should be a terror in the sand. I need a puller like that too. Where'd ya pick it up at?
