Hey all. After following other builds for many years I decided it´s my turn to document my project and share with the community.
I recently sold my KZ400 and found a very nice specimen of the old classic Honda XL250 -72 which was the first 4-stroke enduro bike that is also street legal. It was a in good shape and had 6500 miles on it.
I live in New York City so I thought this would be a perfect bike to cruise around in, enough power, lightweight, nimble and easy to maintain. The engine is in good shape so no need to open the whole thing up. Going for a clean tracker look. So here we go:
Looking pretty decent stock but there is a lot I am going to change.
Started by stripping everything down.
Chopped and cleaned up the rear frame.
Removed the engine crankcase covers to paint them flat black.
Into the blastchamber.
Loving the blaster, the part looks like new after 10 seconds
Well, thats it for today. More to come this week so stay tuned. Cheers.
