hi heres a few pictures of my 85 250r, which was a basket case when i got it a couple of years ago.
i`ve been doing it up slowly as funds allowed, theres a few bugs to iron out of it, but its pretty much done.
what do you think??

Thanks for the replys guys and gals, the tank cover came off uk ebay and was nos from back in the day i guess, i got three of them, this one and two others that i sold, one on ebay and the other i gave to a mate.
the picture shows what the other cover was like when i was messing around with what i wanted it to look like.
there really well made from leather. i got one for my old yz100 as well.

What about Toms farm next sat? We could head up to petes and get there nice and early and head on up. Were up for whatever riding is available :) And have a large trailer for if you guys want to meet up at petes and sling your trikes on the trailer and head on up with us. Could probably get 3-4 on there.

Or we could just hit Petes farm, its damn good there too :lol:
