TUFF Little Cookie

[nappa4eva]

So I got this MC22 a while back:



Although it had low k's, it was totally neglected and infact was sitting in the previous owners back yard for 3-odd years because the rego ran out.

*Hating on people who neglect their cars/bikes*

Started stripping it apart, everything required some sort of attention:






Got a fairing kit from a forum member, thanks buddy!


Started putting it together:




Went for a ride through Yarra Glen, fucken awesome!


So it sat like this for a while:


Then I decided to paint the tank in 2pac on a nice set of sunny days:





Project finished. TUFF!



TUFF!


TUFF!!!!!!


And recently, went to change spark plugs and POS thread snapped inside! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!




This whole project took about a year to complete to a state where I was happy to rego it and be done!
Full specs are:

Grey Import CBR250RR MC22 1994
Reco'd & balanced carbs
Valve clearance/new shims
520 Chain conversion with 14/53 gearing
Rebuilt forks
Repsol fairing kit
Orange eGay levers
ProBolt orange bar ends
Oz-Spec switch assembly
Super comfy Italian bar grips (can't remember the brand)
Ozzymotorcyclefairings can exhaust - sweet piece of gear for the $$
Pirelli Sport Demon tyres front & rear. OEM size
& obviously new oil/air/fuel filters, new battery, gaskets & seals


So yeh, moral of the story ALWAYS KEEP SPARE SPARK PLUGS, because if your cibbie doesn't start it's probably your fuken spark plugs!
Oh and everyone should do a 520# conversion. For the sole reason that the phat rear sprockets looks PHAAAAT!

Nice build mate Well done! Looks the goods!

Lol, cool... Tank looks epic! What do the rims look like? Surely some rash to get rid of?

Bar grips are Progrips?

[Huskey]

Looks amazing mate, I love the repsol sceme done on older bikes.

[Madman]

Question for you btw, how come you pulled the engine out considering you only did an oil/filter change on it?
Unless there were other things you needed to fix? Just curious.

[Chrissybenn]

those rims in orange would set it off i reckon

either that, or orange overload..

i think if you were gunna paint the rims, do the frame in a black aswell

*2cents*

Good eye by the way Reaper.
