Road Trip

Been away for awhile doing the Road Rat Road Trip.
Just out the pathway to the shed, will shell I say the man's tool shed.
Been busy rebuilding bikes and just taking time off to say hi to you all.
Working on 3 projects at the moment,
1980's Honda XL185
1980's Honda XL250
1980's Yamaha DT175

Honda XL250 now fully restored to it's former glory and will add pictures to post shortly.
The XL185 will say no more, she's a wreck needing an overhaul. But slowly getting there.

The history on the Yamaha DT175 has a checked past after falling off a trailer and has damage throught the casing due to falling on it's gear change lever side.

All the bikes are heading to the VMX race track (Vintage Motorcycle Motorcross) and need to be ready.

My favourite, the DT175 is being installed with a new design in shock.
It's trial and error, IT175 rear shock is the donor and will be added to DT with canister and all.
Might even power up with piston changes so it has more top end power, which could become dangerous.

New rebuilt motor has been installed after repair and waiting on another as they are becoming harder to find these days.

Will keep you updated with progress and pictures shortly.
