In May this year I picked up 2 CB 250's 1 x 250N (mine) & 1 x 250T (missus) in basically a 2 for 1 deal that I couldn't refuse. After a carby clean & some fresh fuel both started & idled away.
Mine even came with crash bars & panniers 8). Well I stripped mine down & have started the rebuild, is basically back to a rolling frame now, just have to get the swing arm bolt shortened as I'm not using the stock foot rest & will be fabing up rear sets.
Now that I have some pic's I thought I'd start my build thread.. so here goes ;D
Have painted the frame, forks, rims & everything in "KillRust" Epoxy paint after reading DTT forums and concluding this epoxy paint is the one to use.
Yeah they seem to be few & far between... and it was almost too good to do anything but back to original, but I never seem to keep anything in its original state. Even my Duke has a few little personal touches.
I've also been watchin your build with interest too.
Haha, my wife asked me the other day "could i just get something and not change it?" guess not LOL... ;D i have a big update coming when i pick up my tank and gaurds next tuesday from the painter, plus ive done a heap of other stuff to it while ive been waiting, just want to hold off on the pics till then.. Cheers Andycafe..
It's been a while well over 4 years since the last post and any work on the bike. A lot of water has gone under the bridge and life changes which now allow me to continue with the build.
On the weekend I decided to see if she would start and bloody hell she started first press of the button..
The missus came running into the shed with a big smile on her face asking me what colour am I going to paint her and when I told her she said it wont match her leathers.....LOL
Looking good, can't wait to see the finished product. Mines nearly done, all painted etc but having trouble getting the valve clearance right. I've done it on a lot of bikes, but the CB just doesn't want to hold the same numbers. it's like the lock knock is spinning despite being tight.
