Absolutely beautiful

What a interesting project, look forward to seeing your end result. Cheers, Grant

What a absolutely brilliant job you've done here, I like your problem solving skills, especially the front sprocket in the drill press. It's amazing what you can slove when one has to. Your son looks like he'll be keen to have it passed on one day. We'll done again & was so well written. Grant...

What a very interesting & informative build, loved it well done.

Well this thing is pretty much finished, just got to strip it down & send parts off to the sand blasters & powder coaters. Going to get some nut/bolts replaced & titanium for the rest. Will add some pictures when complete

That's looking good. I had the same problem but I cut the pivot points out & machined new ones up to suit the new swingarm. There's some pictures of it on my posts.

Here's a direct link to rubber parts https://hvccycle.net/1973-1975-rd250-rd350/

https://hvccycle.net/ This is the place for all RD parts, I restored one some years ago & got 90% of my parts from these guys, from nuts,bolts speedometer faces, all rubbers to expansion chambers . Hope this helps

My cheap phone camera doesn't capture the color as it really is, maybe time for a upgrade

Well a few more parts have turned up & a bit more time spent on it. Got a complete motogadget system, m unit,mo button, indicators,mirrors etc, going to make this a keyless bike. Speedometer arrived which is a Koso GP, headlight brkts & headlight came from Australia, just waiting on Brembo 19RCS...

Cheers for that .

Bit more progress

Starting on a bit of frame bracing now.

Thanks for that, was a labor of love. took around 7 yrs to build on & off.

Brought this tube notcher a while back, makes a huge difference. I used to just use a grinder & file. Would of liked something like this when I built the CALSCO985. I've attached some pictures of it.

Gidday Doug, your right, it's too low as is, I had only just fitted the swingarm in & have started bracing the frame. When that's all done I will set a ride height & sort out the suspension geometry from a old frame & swingarm I will use as a setup

Just some pictures of progress
