**NEW PROJECT** Suzuki rm 250 1992 alloy fuell tank!!

Edited Date/Time 12/28/2016 3:27pm
hi guys.

I buy my self a new project!!
its not a big project because the guy where I've buy the bike put al lot of optical stuf on the bike.
I like to show everyone what i'm doing in my free time after school and work. so enjoy this asome project and be free to give tips and ask questions.

this is the bike that I bought!


then I striped the bike to see what I have buyed







I saw places in the frame that I do not really trust
and for my own feeling I have new bits tube put in.

















what I like to do is make parts on my bike what nobody got on his bike.
a modified brake pedal
hand made skitplate. ADL Works (check on facebook) ;p















and I give the bike a (fresh) paint
I call one of my old internship company and asked them if they can shine my frame.





then I bould he bike a little bit up







the engine needs an revision. and the brakes must be checked then he is ready for a ride and in the winter is probably a new topic with a different appearance. this topic isn't clear I will let you see some pictures frome the engine end how he looks after the rebuild.

greatzzz Anne de Laet

I have ride the bike a few times and there is a lot work to do..
the bike have a lot vibrations. I cant found the cause.. but a few weeks a go a men told me that the crankshaft is out of balance, he balanced the crankshaft we hope he does well. but at the time that the crankshaft was gone, I haven't bored me I went back feather with the aluminum tank. just look at the pictures.













yes I know its not easy to make a aluminium tank, this is my first tank I made if this one fails I will do it over!

we used to cut the skirt off the intake side of the piston. made them run much smoother, and not so peaky.

New update!

It's vacation so there is plenty of time to work on the tank!
It's a skill, patience and precision That I learn or have. But if the pieces fits together is it a Nice job to do!!!
The plate that i have bought is big enough for 2 tanks there is a chance that I make more tanks. Just for the Fun







This Will be the last pictures that I will show... Sorry guy's but when al pieces together i wil show hou guys!

hello people

the tank is complete a lot of work pays off i'm verry happy with the result!
only the slit between the seat and the tank can still annoy me.

what do you think guys? the intention is to create more tanks
I'm curious about your opinion.













my school had an open day where I stood with my motorcycle and small fun company to promote my work.

That looks awesome..... Would a small blue piece of foam glued to the tank fill the void under the front of the seat??? I wouldn't worry though, nothing weighs, well nothing, makes the bike look light.
You should make more.
