Well finally got my seat back from the upholsterer, he had gone away over xmas plus I didn't really need it. Put it on the bike and it looks great! Big improvement and it is almost complete. At themoment the bike won't start and I think it is the coils. I have tested them and I am getting no...

Re: CJ250T - Aussie Cafe Racer - First time Builder... That is a nice bike, picked up a good bargain there. Are you going to keep it original or cafe it a little?

Got the bug and started having a Google, found this one.... tons of speed holes and love the ape hangers. Nice piece of recycling for the seat!

All I can say is WOW!!! Was there a build thread with it? Would like to see what they had done to the chassis.

Reading through the manual, it doesn't say anything on weight of oil, I guess they leave that up to the individual. Have you started a build thread yet? Steve

Rob, My Honda CB/CJ 250 & 360twins 1973 to 1977 manual says between 135-140cc of ATF (automatic transmission fluid) or fork oil. I would imagine that for your model would not be much different. Good luck with the project, keep us up to date. Steve

Welcome, keep us updated on your build. Haysie

A great forum that has heaps on anodizing and powder coating is here http://forum.caswellplating.com/ Everything you need and more, heaps of pics as well.

Well I just had to do it.... much to the wife's disgust, I bought a Honda CJ250T for $450.00 on friday. It is the younger lighter brother of the CB250T and that is about all I know about the model. Anyway, I put the seat that is going on my 1981 GSX250, and it looked great! And this is...

Nice job, lots of builds I hadn't even seen before. I had my build on the Caferacer.net site, but this site seems to attract a lot more interest. Keep the thread going this is great! Haysie

Nice bike, love the colours.... will look great finished.

Hi guys, I have a 1981 Suzuki GS/GSX250 and want to put some rear sets on. Would like to see if there are any ideas out there. Haysie

It's not a bad ride out along Crookwell Road, will keep an eye out for you. Lots of bikes head out along Taralga Road. Rode this one day but didn't like it all that much. Let me know when you come through. I've put pod filters on my Mikuni's as well so I would be interested in the grail of...

Nice ride, been looking for a CX500 in Oz to transform.... good inspiration. Steve

A big fan of the one with the Southern Cross in the spade too.... when do we go into production? I have a jacket just waiting for the patch.

Rob, I found that a CB550/750 rear mudguard fitted between the rear frame rails quite well and looks a whole heap better than the original. Still waiting on the handlebars and the tank and seat from painting. Waiting waiting waiting. How's everyone else going? Steve

Thanks guys, good to see another GSX250. Ferg_69 I bought the seat from Classic Motorcycle Fibreglass this is the website http://www.classic-motorcycle-fiberglass.com/index.html they have tons of different seats, mudguards and tanks etc, great prices and very good to deal with. I removed the...

G'day guys, what a great site!! Plenty of information and pics to get enthusiastic about building a nice cafe. A little bit about me I live in Goulburn NSW and I'm 40ish. Owned a few bikes in the past including a nice BMW K100RT which I recently sold. Still have my little 1981 GSX250 to run...
