Bought this bike in sad condition on 4/1. Typical kid type repairs with wrong bolts, cross threaded. Silicone to hold said bolts in place. To top this , had no compression.
After a quick pressure wash to remove the dirt from the 1st ride this roach ever took. She went on the lift
Sorry no pics of the motor but i found the upper ring snapped and creating a nice deep gouge in the cylinder wall. Shipped cylinder off to eric gorr for welding and replating. Bad news is due to lockdown everybody is building things so turn around is 3-4 weeks.
Frame is off to powdercoater while i scrub the reusable parts/pieces and search for parts.
1 week later i bought a 94 cr 250 because .... why not

I used my Dremel and a aluminum cutting bit.
Here is the Dremel bit I used to cut the aluminum- Press Me
Outside that are you following any particular image of McGraths bike or just taking creative license?
