I have an 85 honda big red 250es. When the weather gets a little nicer, I am planning on a complete teardown and rebuild. I wanted to kow if you guys could give me an estimate on what I will be spending. It needs a new front fender and fork (the top part of the fork, like the bar under where the headlight is mounted, is completely bent, making it pull left all the time. Can I just replace this top part?). Everything is complete and running, but I was also thinking about boring it out slightly. I was planning on doing everything myself, even though I have never done work like this before. If I just buy the shop manual do you think that this is a reasonable project? I can get help when I need it, but I want to try to do it all myself. Does this sound feasible? I appreciate any help you can give me.
