Happy to hear your still at it TJ. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with now that you will have a bit of a bigger space to work in.

Nice score. Should clean up alright by the look of it.

That came out quite nice.

Last of the side ports. Nice find. Don't see the low slung exhaust too often either. Also welcome back.

I bought this very stock shit box as a run around to replace my Ford Ranger. Only 156k miles on the old girl. Needed a water pump and timing belt. Still need either a turbo oil seal or new valve seals. Not likely to get either for a while as it only gets used a few times a week.

The 2 big and 2 small stripes look great TJ. My vote is for them as well.

Looking good TJ, can't wait to see the end result.

Baby powder can help to prevent pinches on the inner tube. I always treat the tube as if it is made of tissue paper. Also when you first inflate the tube only put a few psi in and then check to make sure it isn't caught anywhere and that the valve is aligned with the rim still.

Nice, very tight by the looks.

Been over a year since and update. Nothing really has changed except the odometer reading and tyres. Here are two shots from rides when I have remembered to take them.

A friend of mine's uncle had his original MR50 that he had from when he was a kid. He would always drag it out and show it off when ever we went around to ride on his property. I tried for many years to buy it from him but he wasn't having it. Glad to see you finally have one, can't wait to...

Vice grips usually fit/create those sort of nuts.

Damn that tail section blends in perfect now it is red. Good effort.

If I recall correctly, they are there to act as a heat insulator to prevent vapour issues when the engine is at very high temps. I have had great results soaking old rubber and plastic parts in brake fluid to restore them some what. Just don't leave them in there too long.

Welcome. Nice list of previous bikes. The Suzuki X6 is a cool bike. What is on your short list for your next bike? The BMW G310GS looks like a decent small ADV.
