    Fizzer clean up (lotsa images)

    not sure if some of you read my new member post, but i bought a shitted 88 fzr250 2kr for almost nothing with intention of getting it rereged and learning about bikes

    leaky forks, cut wiring, broken front frame etc






    Waaaash




    I painted it but it was horrid, so i had it sandblasted and powdered



    new shoes





    waiting on some bearings and plugs/filter etc

    look forward to more progress.
    Are you opening the engine or doing any checks there? i.e. compression test, looking at clutch etc?

    My missus would knock me in the head with a hammer if I put my bike frame on the couch.

    It lives, and still fast as ever just up and down a quiet road to try iron out the shit.

    Getting a wider tire on the front has left it a little tall, sometimes juuuuust scraping on the guard
