1983 GSX250S Build

[Woodsy]

yeah i thought if i'm gonna do it, i'm gonna do the whole lot. Tomorrow is a day of painting if the weather holds out, then i can put it back together.

You're keen as mustard Josh, good to see!!

Hopefully tomorrow's good weather for you, looking forward to seeing her all done

[Woodsy]

kinda feels like a full resto now...... hopefully mine doesnt take as long as yours! HAHA.

The weather today is worse than yesterday, torrential rain we have had our wettest december day for 22 years here and under the carport is soaked and way to much moisture in the air to spray the frame so i'm gonna be abit bored today might have to do some................ christmas shopping.......

Oh and i've decided to go for 2 white lines down the middle of the bike about 2cm thick

Mate don't worry, you're only a couple of months in... you got years to go yet! Hahahahahahaa

Sucks on the weather, and the Chrissy shopping... I was just wrapping presents tonight and gave up half way through, sweating like a pig and the ceiling fan's blowing the paper everywhere... sheeesh!

2 white lines down the middle? Sounds familiar

You thinking a small gap between or a larger gap? Should look nice...

[Woodsy]

Frame is now painted! Got a break in the weather yesterday afternoon and laid some colour on it, got the dentist this morning so hopefully that doesnt knock me around to much and i can start putting it back together, still have to clean the engine up and paint it though.

Thinking a small gap between the 2 lines would look good. Cant wait for it to be back together!

[Woodsy]

ITS BACK TOGETHER!!!






What do you think?.... still have afew things to do like polish the tank, paint stripes etc

[oohsam]

Wow u work quick..looks great!

[pete]

Looking good Josh! Definitely will be better with the stripes I think, break up all that black a little...

[pauloz1890]

Exhaust looks sick too man...much better than before

[Woodsy]

yeah i also shortened the muffler about 2 inches too which has changed the note abit of the exhaust, going to take it for a ride today so make sure it all works after i put it back together.. no left over parts which is a good thing..... lol

[Woodsy]

Heres a better pic.

[SVSooke]

Sometimes I regret selling the 86 400(same style)we bought for my wife.Nice job Woodsy.

[Flyboy]

Damn Woodsy, that is pretty, looks like a whole other bike, well done on really nice job.

[Woodsy]

thanks guys, took it for a ride today and it feels like it runs even better now, probably just my imagination though, but i know when i look good i feel good so maybe its the same for bikes? lol

[pete]

Hahahahaha could be Josh, could be!

Nicely done, she's looking good for sure now
