Finally getting around to restoring Guy's 91 Factory RM250 SX bike that I bought from him last spring. Not really a restoration but more of a freshening up. Lots of cleaning, repainted the frame and engine covers, polishing corroded spokes and bolts, etc... Only part that needed serious attention was the pipe as Guy clearly never had any support from WD40. Lol. I don't have the time to do the detailed step by step photos that some of you guys do but here is where it's at as of now.
The Shop
For real that is a cool bike to own
Pit Row
Nice job so far! For the welds on the pipe you just trace them with an oxy/acetelene torch. No need to actually weld it. If you mess up with the torch you can sand it off and trace again.
I hope you ran some Ar / Co2 mix inside the pipe while tracing the welds...
When I was younger I had a 91 Rm80 and a 91 Rm125 so I thought a 91rm250 would be fitting
Do you have any pics of what the bike looked like when you bought it?
Also can you tell me how you painted the frame and what colour did you use?
Will be following this thread.
Guy was always a favorite because of his determination and humility back in the day. Now I like him because he still races and you can see the passion he has for moto. If anyone had ever seen him ride his Bultaco at Unadilla they would see the natural talent he has on a bike
What do you figure that Carbon silencer is worth these days? I know where one is...
