Just a peek at the combo coming together.  Progress is slow but sure.

Nice looking frame,Did you go powder or paint?
Noticed you welded on the front for the exhaust mount as well. Looks almost identical to mine.
Nothing like a good basket case coming build coming together :-)

Frame is powder coated.  It's the only way to go.  I'm thinking black plastic would look great on it.  But after a while it might not.

Yeah, just got my frame back from powder as well, It was the first time I have gone that route.
It makes for an awesome finished product.
Just waiting on my crank to be sent back from balancing, then it's all going together after collecting parts for 2 years.
keep posting pics :-)

The big delay lately has been the bearings for the clutch release lever.  Or should I say the lack thereof.  I ordered two and somehow destroyed one.  Ordered a replacement off Ebay and it's a low quality POS.  I may put the engine in the frame w/out the upper bearing.  I believe I can get it done that way.

The old 250 donor is completely stripped.  Bizarre how you have to remove the engine (or at least the clutch cover) to get the footpeg off.  Post mortem so far has revealed pieces of melted aluminum in the exhaust pipe.  The engine is locked. I'll keep any parts that can be used as spares so that means pretty much just the engine and exhaust will be sold.

It's always two steps forward, one step back.  Got the rear suspension pretty much done.  Found out the triple clamps on the bike (99-01) are the wrong size for our (2002) Pro Action forks.  Had to order new neck bearings as I'm sure as hell not going to be able to remove the lower one I just put on the smaller clamp.  FEH!

So an update on my imaginary dirt bike.  Finally found a guy to weld the tank.  I thought he would measure, cut and weld but he only had welding in mind.  Tonight I cut up a perfectly good, $300 tank.  I'll show pics later but it looks really good and it should fit like a charm.  Need to get some polypropylene sheet to fill it and we're making progress again.

I sent an email to JFab last Feb about a head stay.  He seems to have dropped off the planet.  Anyone hear from him?
