finally started

[dougindoors]

oh no not gonna get caught out with that one, unlike when fitting the tyres remembering to fit the direction correct then forgetting about it, good job i hadn't blown it up on to the bead

[dougindoors]

slow but sure engine in note new piston, other projects keep getting in the way, just fitted a nos exhaust system to the cb750, fininshed the gixer 750 and sold it, and for my sins just bought a nice fzr600 with issues. wife said i'm suffering from bikus lurgius, no! i just love a chalange.

Brilliant rebuild =D> The Mrs told me that in 20yrs of breaking Kawasakis they did'nt break one KR250. I don't know what that says about the KR, but parts can't be easy to come by.
I hav'nt seen one other than at the shows for years. Keep up the good work Doug

[dougindoors]

thanks pablo, i seem to be a serial restorer/repairer can not see a good bike die. No matter what the cost, if i didnt spend it on the bikes i would waste it down the pub, i just love keeping my hand in. This one will owe me well over 2k when finished, but its a keeper and its gona look nice met silver with an orange/red seat. my plan of attack is buy every thing before you start. Then if you get caught out beg... thanks tim.

[dougindoors]

most of the parts have come from aus, but are gettin thin, I found a few bits i greece belive it or not barrels pistons and head, along with a rear shock, but it cost I just buy, spares that can not be made or adapated from other models, like 3 spare sets of cdi's

Blue roll, ACF, loctite, plasticote, and and other assorted items.
You have got all the same shite on your bench as me. Mind you I've got a two thirds used tin of High temp PJ1, rapidly becoming a collectors item.

Good progress Doug =D>
