1988 WR250 revival 2016

Please don't feel bad 2premo, this is not your fault, I didn't check fitment and that is entirely my responsibility.

By the way, those cases are in awesome condition!

I think I can have them machined without too much drama, beyond my skill level and probably beyond the scope of my small lathe/mill but shouldn't be too difficult.

Not visually obvious either.

My thoughts are a face plate to bolt the case to, and work from inside to outside.
Does this seem feasible to those here with machining experience?

Yep remember that one now.
One of the cases in the one here was rooted so mate bought a second hand one out of USA only to find that problem.
I just wopped it in the mill and machined it out.
No probs.

Great move. I find this stuff can be really testy sometimes. We hit bumps in the road. Sometimes it helps to stop and pop a cold one but don't you mates drink warm beer? Either it pays to regroup and plan a fix.

There's a few years or one year the 250 was different.

POMS have warm beer bill, in Oz we drink stronger colder beer than the mighty USofA

Bill, you're confusing us with our british counterparts, if the beer is over 2 degrees celcius it ain't gettin drunk.
Q. Why do the English drink warm beer?
A. Lucas refrigerators!

If you have ever dealt with Lucas electrics you will understand this!

Lucas, the "Prince of Darkness"

Our good beer has gotten a lot stronger
Good luck on the cases. Doesn't sound too difficult.

don't mistake beer ads with the taste of everyone, a large population has a wide variety of tastes
the US has a great number of micro-breweries, this is common in a number of countries, I have had some fine brews from Australia's micros as well
typical of traveling to a different region of a country is the tastes seem to remain similar but with a local twist, I preferred the beer in southern Australia, one mans opinion

southern austraylia used to have a beer called "southwark", it resembled camel piss...had a real foamy top with a Palmolive linger... and to top it off...it was pronounced "suthark"

they have nice beer there now

The first time I ventured into an SA pub and ordered a south wark...I was shown the door

I just have to disagree, Southwark was way worse than camel piss!

What is the alcohol content of most American beers these days 2premo?
I was told years ago that most were in the 2.5-3.5 percent range.

Don't suppose you have the inclination to do another!

Coors Light, which tastes like beer flavored water is 4.2%,
Sierra Nevada Hoptimum, from a local brewery, that went from micro to mainstream due to good quality is 10.4%
but most brews are anywhere from 3-6%, don't know of very many below 3, at least not that are distributed widely, Miller Brewery makes one called Miller64 at2.8% but I don't know of anyone that drinks it, a few friends drink Miller but not sure why, in my opinion there is no flavor
I favor the local breweries wherever I am, Sierra Nevada was one now I'm closer to Great Basin Brewery, now they are starting to distribute too

there is a local brewry doing a "vanilla Beer" 13%.my wife wanted 1...1 mouthful later and its mine... I vanilla beer later I was anyones!!

Good to know

avoid the vanilla beer is my advice....

Cheap date
