Well figured id post up my latest project, an 86 z 250 i had bought back in May. It seemed everything bearing related was shot, and I mean SHOT. So I stripped the suspension off it and rebuilt it all, cleaned the frame up, some new plastic/decals/gripper seat etc The motor was rebuilt, but the base gasket was leaking. So I popped it apart, turns out its punched .04 over. Ive rebuilt the carb, put some boyesen reeds in it. Also put a twist grip on it. It still has the original front tire, only has some small checking in one spot :D. I built a simple rear bumper out of some 1" square tube/ 1" round.
If I had a garage, Id have prob stripped it right to the frame and re painted it. But that just wasnt feasible considering I did it all on my porch :D. Its been done since the end of June, and I have yet to ride it on any trails. Just a bit of ditch riding, hoping I can get it out this weekend at the farm for a good ride.
Anywho onto the pic's:
How it looked when I got it:
