Step aside Moto Guzzi...........Yamaha SR250 coming through :-)

And thats it....................that was the end of 2020 Autumn Winter / 2021 Spring build season. I'll update from October 2021 soon.........

Plan with the SR was to re-assemble it then get it running as a quick and dirty make over and have some low powered fun around the local back lanes for next spring.................So I quickly assembled it so see what Id ended up with.........there was quite a few extra bits and pieces. Enough for nearly 2.5 bikes minus a frame?.........should be a simples task to get it running and look half decent with the minimum amount of work??

WOW! Color me ENVIOUS!

Happy new year!
Ordered up some "classic" scrambler bend bars to try for size before going ahead and making a small bracket for the speedo.

Set about cutting up the alloy mudguards, and rolling over the edges to give the paint some chance.
I then tried in various places on the bike and settled for a lower mounted position.

 

[lchris21]

whilst messing about with the mudguards I decided to replace the new tyres with some other new tyres!..............slightly more aggressive pattern, nothing to do with performance and handling, purely aesthetic.

 

[lchris21]

when I was down the front end I had to make some adjustments to the front brake shoe carrier to tweak the centralisation of the hub. quick skim off 2mm in the lathe and all good.

next up, some mounting brackets for the front mudguard. bit of cutting, filing and drilling then bending in my home made folder.

 

[lchris21]

.....mounted the front mudguard onto the new brackets, but wasn't quite happy with the heads of the screws sticking out so made a small tool to form an indentation on the surface to sink them in a bit.

 

[lchris21]

all fitted up front

 

[lchris21]

whilst I was looking at that picture above I want happy with the position of the headlight so I decided to drop it down about 15mm.........that 15mm was a few hours work !

 

[lchris21]

much happier where it is now
