got this low hr wr500
had original tires on it
i didnt go hog wild but cleaned her up nice to ride at rewind
it aint easy find parts for these things
i can usually do a job like this in a few months
this one took a year
i still may do the yz250 fuel tank on it, if i like ridding it
so its hard for me to do the piks this is all i got
it was a fun project
on to the Ezra lusk 94 rm

That looks great! What is your method of cleaning those engine parts if you don't mind me asking?

Is your tumbler big enough for those cases? And what are you using in it?
