Haha I went the ol' eBay seat route, doesn't have the diagonal stitching but fits pretty similar. I had to cut a bit of the base off the front and I'll have to make a decent bracket to fix it under the tank properly. We seem at similar stages but none will be way slower and suckier.

So cool seeing it back in 1989 too. Very cool story.

Neat little filter. Do you remember where you got your tail loop from? I've had a quick scroll through eBay but most things seem slightly too wide or skinny.

I've got the same seat and rack combo as JerryAssburgers picture if its any use to you @Brodie

Haha I think you're going through all the same stuff I am. I've got a Harley project but only ever got my L's so mine is meant to be the cheap run around to onsell for Harley parts. It's turning into an eBay special build but there's constant internal nagging to do things like kick conversions...

For some reason I thought the xt500 18" fit too but I haven't found any info on it again. I've done nothing with my Sr long enough to forget everything I planned. Do you know of anywhere on the coast with Sr parts? I've been keeping an eye on gumtree for stuff but surely there's a wrecker...

Still pretty neat. I don't notice too many sr250s getting around on the gold coast, I'm hoping to get mine together so I can get through this garbage M1 traffic early mornings too. I was looking to do more of a chop style build with mine too, the Malaysians do some cool dumb stuff with 250s but...

Re: T500 build Looks super clean and tidy! All the extra time you're putting into things like the wire tuck are really paying off.

I think Mexico is something all SR250 owners should aspire to

You really are in it for the fashion parade and the circle jerk, aren't you?

Re: Honda CB It doesn't matter what he changes his name to, you only have to get one page into any thread to hear him constantly pat himself on the back about how awesome he his and you know it's JWilde.

Hahaha that does not sound advantageous for an sr250. Thanks for the tip

Is there a noticeable benefit from going 16" up to 18"? I've considered it for the sr250 I have but it's only really a looks thing. Is there any serious pro's and cons to the bigger rear?

Coming together well! Front wheel will look good in there, I'm currently dealing with the front brake issue but I don't have such useful parts on hand. I have an '81 Ironhead project I'm trying to find a 2ls drum for to replace the awful twin disc setup with. You're definitely a more capable...

Seat looks great!
