Busy day for me: Moved the 3 CB250RSs so I could relocate the bike gazebo. Tried turning the engines of all 3 over with their kickstarts even though none of them run yet and found out Bruiser is seized. Fired up Nix and rode her out one gate, parked her on the driveway while I relocated the gazebo and built a floor for it, then rode her back in through the other gate so I could park her on the new floor. Started Jack and moved him out of the way of the trailer while I cleaned the carport. Fired up Rosie to keep her battery charged and moved her out of the carport while I put the trailer back in. Pulled out Bruiser's battery, topped it up with distilled water and put it on to charge. Came in out of the cold and rain, blogged it all and posted it on the forum. Next week I'll probably start swapping bits around between the CB250RSs until one starts!
Fitted a set of fork gaiters to my CB250-covers up the nowhere near perfect fork legs and hopefully stops them getting worse. As a bonus they make them look a little more substantial than their 31mm diameter- like a push up bra for forks. Also had a goodridge braided front brake line arrive that I'll fit tomorrow and get some photos.
so tidy in there mate! gotta build your carbs and put it together properly....... i love your bling too much hah
OMG Mr Grey that is huge! Funny that. I have a large quantity of high quality sticker paper that I had left over from the R4 tacho sticker process. So yesterday I was thinking maybe I should make some small stickers that customers could stick on their swingarms or helmets or some such. Just have to find a design that I like. I am about to start on the exhaust for my bike too, and I want to put a small logo on that as well. cheers Blair
Fitted a Goodridge braided line to the front brake. Haven't gone for a proper ride yet, but seems a little better. When the brake disc is the size of a muffin and the rider eats too many damn muffins you probably can't expect two finger stoppies. I'll take any improvement I can get.
Did u miss this one mate? ....... http://2fiftycc.com/index.php?threads/grasshoppers-3ln3.2004/page-2#post-24635
Thanks for that, I'm really happy with them. I'm also still surprised how much I'm enjoying mucking around with a humble commuter bike!
Reassembled the cbr250rr, had problems with a dragging rear brake so I pull the pads, roughed them up on a concrete surface and reassembled them, brakes now bite Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
