Hey everyone, been browsing these forums for a little while, so I finally signed up to show you my rolling pile of 1982 scrap metal
yes, everybodies much loved and ALL TIME favourite, The Yamaha SR250!!! First clear up the Baby business, i'm sure you know the sr250 is a pretty smalllll, alright, real small bike. Straight to the point - I am 6' 4" ;D ;D ;D
bought it as an absoloute snot, although the motor ran good, and i know for afact that it atleast rides good at 1/4 throttle in 1st gear.... thus so far is the most ive given it as the bike was not registered when I got it. :-\
since has been stripped down frame sandblasted + sprayed with spray cans. I tore down the whole bike, not to restore but just to clean the many pounds woth of mud/grease/road grime off every single part....
so here it is, thus far. all i need to finish now is to fit headlight, make some straight pipe for exhaust (open header at the moment, not too loud surprisingly) and jet the carb according to open pipe and filter (not shown, pod type)
list of jobs, everything has been done on the cheapie-cheap
clip-ons: all cables are way to long.... oh well.
triumph thruxton rear shocks, raised rear about 1.75"
raiised the forks in the clamps 1.75" holy head-tube angle batman (i'll report back on this once it gets ridden)
straigt pipes (100db noise limit here)
foam sock-type filter
flat seat: ally base; go-kart seat foam, professionally covered in electrical tape.
no turn signals (not required)
i need to keep the speedo by law, so i'm stuck with this giant thing until i can find a mini unit at the right price
can't think of anythign else right now.... its a pretty universal bike, while it was apart it saw several different disguises thrown together with spare parts: flat tracker with MX bars and forks up high and the winner Brat-style with Apes and rigid struts in the back.
i know these are 120kg stock, so it would be interesting to know what it'd be now with so much stuff removed....
as i got it :-X
currently, apologies for missing tank, it needs a much thinner tank and im trying to source someting from an RD if it works out
and yours truly, turning any motorcycle into a pocketbike.
