hey its been a busy spring,summer, fall and first part of winter! we were still working out side laying stone until Dec. 21st! so i havent made to much progress during that time :'(, got a little bit of time during the last few weeks. here is a little run down and some pics

 

[yam81]

I took my other running (or use to be running) SR250 out for its last run of the season and blew the rings I believe so i put it into storage and scavenged some parts off of it to help out my build

a "mock up" of the bike sorry for the quality of the picture took it with my iPhone

took in the fall, with out the engine in the frame

you cant see in the pictures of the motor but i have installed a kick starter assembly form a Yamaha XT250 fit like a glove!

also just tonight i mocked up an exhaust for the bike out of 1 and a half ABS pipe (get a picture of it tomorrow) not sure if its going to stay the way i have it right now have it routed under the seat would have to build some sort of heat guard and find a new spot for the battier, i may have found a spot between the frame and gas tank closer to where the seat will be or make a mount to hold it higher up in the seat bump thats another issue to solve


Well thats it until tomorrow Happy New Year All

again not the best pictures only one light were i am working on it and the cover on my iPhone lens sucks

think it will look nice once its done if i go with it the way i have it. i know a few guys that work at MBRB see if there is any chance to get it done by them at a decent cost hahaha dreaming im sure

one of the "small" job sites i worked on this summer took us 2 days under a month to finish working on this customers "bunkie" think it was a total of 35-40 treds(steps) and about 150-200 sq feet of flag path and about 20-25 3' steeping stones only have pictures of the lake side treds
after 2 days

finished the lake side in week/week and a half cant remember haha
