    Another RS put back on the road

    After many hours and throwing handfulls of cash at the bike, i have finally managed to bring another RS250 back from the dead and registered on the road!
    Today was a great day but didnt start well as i couldn't prove i owned the bike. Finally got a stat dec from the police with my paypal receipt and back to the rta. I was shitting myself a little as i have just noticed a slight front fork seal leak only on the weekend. The man checked the VIN, had a look at the bike and that was it, no checking indicators, headlight, horn, nothing.

    I have just done a top end build so running in the bike trying not to over rev is a little bit of a pain, i just want to open it up..
    Anyway this is hat i have done
    Top end with suzi pistons ect
    New billet pv centres
    new studs, water pipes, oil check valves
    New silicone hose kit
    thermo sender
    New clutch
    Headlight, indicator
    Tyga system
    tyga front and rear carbon guards,
    windscreen
    Woodcraft clip ons
    giles rearsets.
    Fairings mostly repainted
    GT stripe on the tank!

    Damn it good to be back on a 2 stroke.
    Better go and fit the number plate>>>

    Barrels replated

    Nothing wrong to pretend to race a motor bike in your pajamas !
    I can't keep these 2 away from the bikes, I forgot to mention that the other side of the bike was a bit damaged. That's why I went to a black paint, a work in progress
