Cheers for the input :) It looked alright initially but I realised how bad an idea that was as soon as I went to move it. It's got a drag bar on the stock mounts now instead. Feels much nicer and I think I can get away without doing *too* much to the controls. The rubber footpeg mounts will go...

Lots of holdups slowing progress, but still going. I've been playing with my Alfetta project more lately, but it's back to being a runner so it's back to the bike. Paint on the tank & side covers is now done. The clear is curing as I type. I figure it looks pretty good for a first attempt at...

5 weeks later... Have had the flu combined with a nasty little workplace accident that left me with a broken arm... Still, the show has been progressing slowly. More crud has been removed from the bike, plus have ordered a few new bits - tail and indicator lights, braided brake hoses and rebuild...

Alright, got a little bit of progress from the last couple of days. Mostly been shopping, but have started pulling bits off, cutting off old mounts & making a few changes.

Cheers Porkchop, I've been reading through your build thread actually. Great work! Plan is to have it ready to hit the road again by October.

Righto! Took the old girl to work with me today to see what I have and what needs doing. I certainly have my work cut out for me. Front brake master is shot and the hose is blocked. Rear brake master leaks like a sieve, but pumps enough fluid for the brake to work. Both masters have leaked all...

Crap, just realised this didn't go where I thought it was meant to... No good with forums, still learning obviously. Oops

Hi all, Adz from down in Australia here :) I know the forum here is mainly 400 guys, but I've just scored myself a nice little '78 XS250 that seems to be a nice candidate for a resto rod. It runs & is on club rego, but is in dire need of a freshen up & some running repairs to keep it roadworthy...
