Alright, it's been a while since I tore into a bike. I took almost a year and a half away from riding/ racing while getting some things in order, in the real world, but now I'm back at it.
I picked up this 2004 RM 250 the other day
Part 1: I will be tearing it down to the frame to clean, grease, polish, inspect, etc. I already ordered a top end and gasket kit, a new air filter and clutch cable. My goal for part one is to make this 2004 look as clean, and stock, as possible. I will get new white fork guards, brake line guides, silver Renthal bars with a classy black bar pad, OEM pink/ clear carb vent hoses and a new stock style set of sprockets. Only real "updates" to the bike will be a gold chain, a stock looking all black gripper seat cover, plain white backgrounds with black numbers and the Renthal bars. I will not even be putting a sticker on the bike, unless its an OEM replacement... just trying to make it look showroom, for this year.
Part 2: This fall I will frame the bike, and do THE WORKS:
Powder Coat frame
Hinson Clutch & Cover
Type 2 hard anodize the primary case
Carbon Ignition cover
black wheels
billet hubs
black sprockets
gold chain
triple clamps
Works Bills Pipe & Carbon silencer
PR2 Suspension with upper and lower coatings front and rear
PR2 built motor, head cut for race gas
10oz flywheel weight
Vforce 3
Magura hudraulic clutch
2018 RMZ front master cylinder
Wave rotors front and rear (front oversized)
This should be fun!
, and plan to do a two-part build.
