I managed to get the cover all polished up. Looks really great now 8) I managed to get the flywheel off thanks to the local bike shop. But have noticed that some wires lead to nowhere behind the stator coils. Are these supposed to be connected to each other? I have no experience with...

So after a bit of googling, I decided to rough sand the case with 200 grit and move down the grits. I've spent about two hours on the case so far and managed to get most of the scratches out. I'm now on 600 grit. Hopefully by the weekend it'll look like a mirror finish This is what the cover...

Life got in the way and I haven't really spent much time working on this project. I've removed the engine from the bike and was halted by the flywheel, so waiting for the local bike shop to bring in the correct flywheel puller tool for this bike. In the meantime, I'm hoping to clean and polish...

Wow! It's looking great! I'm very jealous, makes me realise how much work is ahead of me on my build.

Great to meet a fellow Joburger on the forums! I ride an Enfield 500, the thinking of using a SR was that the two cruise at around the same speed, so should be a good match to the Enfield. Where about's are you based? We're in Randpark. When are the CROSA meetings? We sometimes go through to...

Haha! My wife would not be very happy with that. Took a lot of convincing to get her to agree on the SR, she says she doesn't want to look like she's making deliveries. Thanks, I was thinking of doing that, but am worried that I'll damage it. Does it come off quite easily with just a small whack?

Hello, My name is Daniel from Johannesburg, RSA. I've just begun stripping a SR250 that I'll be hopefully turning into a neat little tracker for my wife to use. She often sits on the back of my bike and has been talking about getting one of her own, so thought this would be a nice excuse for me...
