Re: sr 250 cafe - rachel
ok guys here is an update. i finally have a roller. got the drums polished up, rebuilt and re-jetted the carb have the new rear shocks mounted with new bushing swingarms, front forks painted and gaitors (forkboots) on. my mate managed to get the dent out of the tank with compressed air (don't have a pic, but if you look at the previous pics there is one with the tank lying next to the bike and you can see the dent, previous owner put a sticker over it, as they do). super stoked it came out because it was a fucking huge dent, busy prepping the tank for paint now.
still need to sort out most of the electrics, mount the new speedo,tank, seat, exhaust and bars. glad i have a rolling chassis though, certainly feels more like a complete bike again.
i'm really shit at updating pics and i appologise for that. i'm also not the type to post pictures of myself grinding the tabs off the frame with sparks flying. anyway, it was raining today, but i snuk out to get some shots.

Re: sr 250 cafe - rachel
just mucking about here, but this is the very professional mock-up of my nitroheads seat! if only i didn't have to 9-5 and i could build bikes all day this bike would be done by now. still need to chop and weld the frame to make the seat fit. got a feeling the rear end might be a bit high with the longer shocks, hope it won't ruin the lines. can't actually place the nitroheads seat flat on the bike as it touches the rear tailsection of the frame. need to chop the frame for a proper mock-up. hopefully this weekend!

Re: sr 250 cafe - rachel
I have a sr250 also with the forks slid up the trees about an inch and a half. I'm 6' 200lbs stock pegs and mx bars and it runs great. If anything, better then it did. I do hit the exhaust and pegs all the time tho. My forks do need a rebuild so I'm sure that's not helping. Hope that helps
