    Looks like it could also be rust eating the frame from the inside out.

    I took the ebay motor out of my 85 250r to put rebuilt original motor back in.I pulled the ebay motor apart to check a crack and found out it has more than a crack. The tail piece is broken off it didn't leak any oil. Click image for larger version.

    Nice stuff

    So are you keeping track of the expenses?

    I only ask because I've got almost $1000 left to spend on tires, fluids, fenders, and misc to finish it and ride.

    So I went back last night and added up how much my almost scratch built R had cost me so far and I'm into it already for a hair over $5500. I was stunned. The prices of this stuff has really shot up in the last few years

    All that OEM, NOS, little stuff really racks up fast. I know I've bought over $400 in just OEM fasteners.
