1978 Honda XL250s Brat tracker/scrambler
G'day fellas and girls, I have been on here for a while now and have been following many of your builds and I figure its about time I posted my build.
I purchased this little beaut from a one legged fella only half an hour away from where I live. The bike was in very average condition, both shocks were done for, forks were leaking, cam chain was loose, it had huge dents in the fuel tank, the handle bar was bent, but it started and the frame was only dirty with minor surface rust so I gave him $200 and threw her on the back of my mates ute.
Here is the first pic from when I got it home, thats my girlfriend who was suprisingly cool about me buying it:
From here I needed some inspiration. I love the look of Scramblers and Brat trackers so I thought i'd follow along this track. I am also in the Army so I thought a militray theme would suit quite nice too. Here are some images of inspirations:
