Xulf, Beautiful build! Everything is looking very flush. I'm jealous of the 2 seats! 1 for track, 1 for not! :) Pillion Pegs - Have you considered rearset/peg parts from Tarozzi. I'm about to buy a set. They also knurled in 2 or 3 patterns from memory and 1 is folding. Not 2 bolts like you had...

Thanks LR! That really sums it up in English... It never occurred to me LED's only work one way. Makes so much sense now. I thought I had crossed wires! When the high beams are on, the blue LED glows brighter than the others. So, I'll probably will go ahead with resistors to regulate the...

There's only one LED and it's inside the speedo, which I can't access without damaging the speedo. When the 'Left' switch is on - Current flows through DARK BROWN and earths out through DARK GREEN. I assume this is what's happening, especially when I see indicators AND the LED lit up. But it...

Yeah, I really want to do this so I asked around about this number plate thing... It's basically rules vs police leniency. I've got a mate with a vertical side mount, and cops usually turn a blind eye and just compliment the bike... Anyway - For registration, I'll put it horizontal. After...

Clear Light - Check 45 Degree Angle - Will try to do... Upright plate - Not a chance... Does that mean upright letters? or the plate can't be bent? Yeah, I'll be completely relying on the cop's 'interpretation' of the law eh!

Wicked build mate! Love the seat, do they call those cobras (or something like that) in the chop world? Good flowing lines on the seat and electrics pan. I've had my share of fiddling with a new tank... The stock frame just won't let me squeeze my tank low enough... and I want it LOW! hahaha...

Yeah, that 2 exhaust pipe thing - Gay... Diggin your envisioned designs btw! That tail could fit a few niceties inside... I noticed you dropped the front. Just a thought, you could drop it more to balance out the rear section. Up to you though.

I've got a similar issue lately, mine fires, idles and used to be fine but stalled the other day on half choke... Because it stalled on half choke, I'm highly suspicious that my Carb settings are wrong... SO, YES it's probably carb related but maybe not the screw you're talking about. What air...

REGO - Side Mounted Number Plates I think this post may have died hahaha... Anyway, for those who are following... REGO - Side Mounted Number Plates Does anyone know the rules on side mounted number plates in NSW, Australia? The tail light will be on the fender. But, I'm thinking of...

Probably get a pack of needles and try adjust the carb... Anyway, got a question for you guys... Rear Fender: Brush or Polish? http://sr250.blogspot.com/2011/06/rear-fender-brush-or-polish.html

Ripped out all the electric start related wires. Fully triple checked everything before I did it...Was REAL worried that I ruined the electrics, but alas she ran. I also adjusted the valve clearances and the carb, it sounds an incey bit better, but something's no right... What's that sound...

Mike XS sells the barrel cable end fittings and caps for the rubber tube. Could I use a saucepan as a solder pot? Anyone know if similar stuff is sold in Australia?

Sorry peeps, haven't made a post for yonx... Thanks for all that checked out my helmet, helped gather some more funds so I could finish the wiring amongst other things! Been doing a million different things at once - Doing tasks in parallel, shitty project management mentality in my opinion, no...

I haven't commented on a CB build for a while, but your bike is so sweet. Love the lines and the nifty mounts. Good on ya. Is that an oil tank or is it for electrics? How wide did you modify the tank?

Hey people, I bought a Wassell tank for the SR250 and now realise it requires much more work than I initially expected. Some expert tank fabricating advice will be very much appreciated. Ingredients I have: - Wassell Tank, British fuel bung, 1/8" Triumph/BSA styled petcock - SR250 Tank -...

Wassell Tank - Sidelined Wassell Tank - Sidelined The Wassell tank was so exciting but has become a minor let down. Ok, probably a major let down :( The point is, it just takes too much work. Work that I can't really do on my own, and I also can't afford. The tunnel 'fits' width and height...

1960/70's VINTAGE SHOEI OPEN-FACE HELMET (LARGE) Up for sale is my vintage Shoei open face helmet from the late 1960's or early 70's. It is a NOS (new old stock) item in a very rare black and gold metal flake colour. A genuine item MADE IN JAPAN by SHOEI. The helmet is size LARGE. An unworn and...

Fabricated a new headlight mount that sticks further out than the mount the light came with. The wires and cables are subsequently tidier with less rubbing from the previous tight squeeze. Usual drill, grinded, filed, sanded and painted in satin black. Though the light does angle out to the left...

Hey people, Tinkered some more with the SR250 over the Christmas holidays. Some cool progress which is good, but before she's on the road there's still a small list of things to do. Engine got rebuilt at the mechanic. Bolted back onto the bike. New gaskets ordered from Yamaha (Bikebiz...

Hey Mate, Just read your post. Any luck with the engine yet?
