As promised, here are some updated pics of my 250R restoration project. Since I last posted pics I have completed the exhaust, the entire rear brake system is done. NOS caliper, disc (the last oem Honda available), parking brake cable, and hose. The electrical system is done. I hunted high and low for a new headlight case, but couldn't find one. I found the best used one I could get my hands on and put some really good plastic polish to it. It came out alot better than I expected. Front bumper and bumper skid are installed, as are the rear grab bar and NOS toolbox. The fuel tank that is on it in the pics is not the tank that is staying on it. After some begging and pleading with my parts supplier, they found an NOS red tank that was returned to one of the Honda warehouses as part of a dealer stock return. I should have the tank in hand Monday or Tuesday. It was just dumb luck that I was able to get a red tank, since all Honda offers now is black. I have some more work to do on the front end, such as find another set of control arms, and get them powder coated and fitted with new Honda bushings. If you look closely at the pics, you'll see a small ding in the right lower control arm. Other than that, and a few more new nuts and bolts, it will be time to put all the new plastic on. I'll post more pics when it's complete. Hope you enjoy! :D
