Tim and I made loads of progress this weekend. Just the front mudguard to make, chain guard to install and then the dreaded electrics…..

Honda CBR250R
I picked up this 1989 Honda CBR250R last weekend. It needed a good clean up, but has two brand new tires and seems to start and run well. Only 32,000Km’s too.
New oil cooler fitted
looking “cool”
Chrome Carburetor and Taller Gearing
I fancied a bit more bling so fitted a chrome carburetor. Changed the front sprocket to a 17 tooth as well. It will now do an indicated 120Km/h flat out . OK on the motorway cruising at 90-100Km/h now. The bigger sprocket was just what it needed. Not sure about all the yellow though. I will change the tubes and paint the choke lever black.
Bought another bike on a whim today
Saw this RG150E on Facebook market place today. Went to see it. Owner says has had full engine rebuild (piston, cylinder, crankshaft, con-rod, main bearings, even new crankcases), water pump, clutch. He couldn’t get it to run right. Has WOF and rego, so home it came.
Fork preload adjusters installed
These were a bit of a nightmare to fit. They had the wrong thread when they arrived. I had to machine the old thread off and buy an M26x1.0mm die to cut the thread to right size.
Anges decals installed
I think it looks quite good. Nice photo of Ange too.
Anges build
Did this one in a day 🙂
Anges CG125
Massive session in our garage working on Anges bike today. We started with her stock standard bike at 12 noon and now almost everything is done apart from the dreaded electrics (which I’m glad to say are Anges department). 10 hours solid, no lunch or dinner just some beersies for me. Looking really good ? I’m shattered now.
Front mudguard fitted
I fitted the front mudguard yesterday and it looks pretty good ?
Front mudguard sort of done
I got a new Inverter MIG welder for Christmas so today I completed the front mudguard. I’m a bit average at welding, but the angle grinder hides many sins. It definitely won’t come to bits though. Paint job is a bit average too, but I needed to get paint on it quickly before it started to rust. Might give it a repaint once the sun comes out.
