250R !

[Gelcoater]

The banshee is together! Now tucked into the tool shed out back so I can make room for this.

The wife's 87 250
The gas tank is roached, will be picking up an IMS unit. Torn on stock size or 4gal upgrade.
I have the hubs at Klemm Cycle yo get new studs pressed and have a few carb trinkets ordered to freshen up the PJ.
This thing has been sitting back there in the shed since about 2010ish.

The 250 is a fun machine. This one is mild. FMF gold (rust) series pipe, mild porting. Pump gas deal.

What? You post a picture of your 250r and then you sell it?

No. Lol.
I had an LT80 Vic was interested in.
I ended up giving it to some folks I know in Co with kids just growing into it.

The LT80, as of a couple weeks ago.

Look out the window of the second shot.
Looks chilly out there

Hear some two stoke noise on the street a bit ago?

Fired on the 5th kick.

Needs paddle tires and a splash of fuel.

Baddest Mo Fo on the dunes.

Cool deal. Looks like fun. #1 still has his Banshee, tricked out long rod engine, he did the best he could back before he went into the army I know he would like to freshen it and build it bigger but has a family now.
I am struggling with my damn CT 70.
Been in the carb twice, thought it was plugged up but danged if I can find it. Going to have to pick up some serious carb cleaner next time I am in Reno and try once more. Won't take throttle. It is bone stock original and I do not want to mess with any chinese parts, so going to be stubborn.
