My 1975 Honda XL250 Restoration Is Complete
Posted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 7:25 am
About a month ago, I finally finished my 1975 Honda XL250 restoration. It took 6 months to complete. About everything was fixed or repainted on this bike. The tank has its original paint. This was a complete restoration including stripping the frame/rewrap of the wiring with new connectors, except I didn't do a new piston/rings/rehone because it had good compression, but I may do one in the future. This was overall an awesome project that really taught me all the moving parts of my bike.
It does smoke and burn oil a little bit since it was apart (didn't do it before). It has good compression so I'm hoping the rings reseat and I don't have to take it all apart again.
Here's my photobucket with all the pics of the restoration from beginning to end. There's 4 folders and one video.
