Well not much has happened just put the new carburetor on and the clutch cable and most of the wiring harness. I am Still looking for a break rotor hub that's in good condition so I can finish up the rear end. That's all for now I will keep you guys updated as I go

Goat the reason for the stock card is because I wasn't sure what other carbs would fit except the 400ex which I didn't think would be all that better also I got the new 350x carb very cheapEdog I will try my hardest next time I take
so they will be nice and clear for you

Sneaky carb thief, no wonder that box you shipped me was a little lite. The thirtyseven mm fcr of the 250 dirtbike fits all you need is a small piece of hose to run the stock airbox system.
I'm quite curious about this project of yours.
Well here is a little update I finally finished sanding and polishing the bottom triple tree and got it mounted. Tomorrow I will drill out the holes for the front fender and get that mounted. I am still looking for a rear brake rotor hub that's in good condition so I can finish up my rear end. Well that's it for now

That's a great looking build. I see that the steering stop guard has a crack in it...so does mine! I thought about having a stainless one fabricated because that guard is not made too well. Where did you get the plastic ring that goes in the brakeline line guide? I thought the ring was discontinued....yours look new.

Would you mind telling me the process you used polishing the triple. What grit paper did you use and such.
Thanks

start big, go small, remove 4 hours of your life. And you end up with something as sexy as that.
lol Goat it takes a little bit longer than 4 hours. SeaBass8 as for my steps I glass bead the part with real fine beads then I start with 120 grit sandpaper To get all of the deep scratches out of the parts and than i work my way up to 220,400,600,1200,2200 make sure you use wet sandpaper. After that I use this kit I got at Harbor freight I use the black compound than the brown and then white and then when I'm done with that I put the chrome polish on the part and use one of the buffing wheels and the kit to give it that shine. And thanks for all of the complements I really do appreciate them
