Project # 2

This is a 1976 KT 250 that I purchased from a man in Indianapolis for $400. He told me that it run good but the gas tank had a leak, but he couldn't find another tank and thats why he was selling it.

Now the fun begins.
He wasn't lying about the leak. The end of the tank was nearly rusted away. I welded and ground on it for about 4 hours to get the leak fixed. If you will notice the moto-x fenders and knobbie tires. They got to go. The rear shocks are bent. You can also see in the picture. The front forks had almost enough spring in them to keep the fender off of the tire. The front wheel has some spokes missing. The sprokets have teeth sharp enough to use as a sawblade. The seat is coverd with some really nice tape. All the cables had to be replaced. A new throttle and grips a must do.

The motor, and remember" runs good" is now at B&J racing for a complete overhaul. The rod had a little slop in it, and the piston was a little small for the hole it lives in. But it will shift.

I took off the head light , oil injection and anything else that you don't need to ride a trials.

I will keep you up dated on the progress of what will be a hot rod when finished. This is also to show just how much it cost to get a real bargain ridable and dependable. Stay tuned.
