    Finally got to doing some more on the bike, put on the headlight i restored, refinished the front fender, replaced seat with one with nice seat cover & replaced missing chain guard, a little more cleaning & it's almost looks as well as it runs.

    rip the barrel off and give the transfer ports a good tidy up with a port tool, they are a bit daggy and rough. it will smoke the tyre something chronic after that.

    Did some more detailing , created home made side numberplate decals (yellow), using what was left of the originals as pattern, stripped off the flaking paint off the fork legs for now. Not sure if i want to repaint the slightly yellowed tank or not? Winter showed up this past
    week :mad: , so i doubt i'll be painting anything til it gets warmer, but i'm please with how it's coming along.

    Because I can't get my work area warm enough to even spray primer, I got a 1986 250XC frame to jump start the assembly of my 86 400WR off ebay for $112 shipped. Got unemployed again yesterday so I have been mandated to get some bikes finished to sell in the spring. So far it looks like the 85 400WRX, 86 400WR, and 86 KX250 will be up for adoption in a couple months. The frame for the 84 250WR is almost ready to paint, but temperature is against it so far
