Since we can't post in the restricted areas... yet. I'll start here.
Note: 1st 250R, '85, picked up in decent, stock condition about 45 days ago. Not a factory piece of plastic on it, except the tank, but otherwise a runner and complete. Coming changes as follows...
Painted my faded, red to pink, eeeeeewww.... desert tank. Used plasti-dip as recommended on another dirt bike site. Went with white, since I was born on an '83 200x. I'll let you know how it holds up... I have serious doubts about paint of any type on plastic. Stock tank, only stock plastic left, is good, but planning to journey this summer in the Idaho panhandle, so fuel is a must!
Put a final, for now, scrub on my slightly rusted FMF Gold series header pipe, ain't gold anymore though....
Checked shipping on recently purchased:
Twist throttlle kit
FMF spark arrester
Boysen reeds
Otherwise I just oogle at it in the garage... I'll start teardown once I get enough parts together. For the time being it's turn-key, and the neighbors haven't turned me in for roostin' the field at the end of my street.... YET!
