It’s been a while!
It’s been around five long months since I last updated this site. I have been letting it slip a lot lately with work being so busy, then my laptop took a dive followed quickly by my home computer.
My DT250 project is moving forward a little bit at a time.
I have made good progress on the rear end. I replaced the rear and front sprocket, put on a new chain, all new fasteners, new brake shoes, spacers, axle etc… Looks nice! I also have a good lead on a NOS swing arm, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get my hands on it. It would be great to get ride of the ratty rusted and banged up one that is on there currently.
I also replaced the oil and seals on the front forks. I ended up having to take them to San Jose BMW for them to get the bottom bolts out since they would just spin and spin for me. They removed them with no trouble and didn’t charge me! Great guys! I am hoping to take care of the front end over the Christmas holidays and if I am lucky, maybe get that new swing arm on as well.
I have a garage FULL of parts, I just need time to be able to get each bit done. I guess the length of time this is taking will make the end product be that much more appreciated.
