2003 KX 250 SF Conversion
umberto:
I finally got around to getting my graphics ordered from Decal Works. They are great to work with, especially if you have a lot of different parts like I do. I always deal with Sean, he's the man. Anyway, here is what I came up with:
Got some small custom touches included:
Front View:
I got a new head gasket in hand so I can send my head off to Larry for a compression release. While I have it apart, I am going to powder coat the frame and swingarm flat black. That is if I can stop riding it for a couple of weeks. Now that the carb is dialed in, it's a bit like having a drug addiction. :-D
umberto:
I went riding yesterday, and the carb did not seem to notice the additional 700 feet of elevation. It's good to know that the Lectron is not terribly sensitive to changes in altitude.
The only issue I had yesterday was that Goliath makes my 250 a little boring to ride. :-D
umberto:
I've always been concerned about the motor in Goliath being a one year wonder. I've been wanting to put some stuff away just in case, so I scored a set of extra cases from Sandblaster. They were treated to some custom mods, and of course a vapor blasting. Only issue I have is they make the ones on the bike look a little tattered. I'm so glad I don't live closer to his shop, or I'd have to sell a kidney or something to pay my vapor blasting bill. :-D
dave916:
So you decided to get 89on cases
umberto:
Those came from an 88 that Sandblaster was parting out. I may try to snatch up the cylinder head as well.
