OK, after being self admitted OCD, this is the final result... Everything is operationnal, and adjusted as per HRC specs. Nothing left out... Not even a tie wrap... ATAC valves fully operationnal, and a beauty to see. Averything "should be operational, spark checked, all internals (transmission...

Its been a while... It looks like I'm almost done. I would say I have to put another 10-15 hours or so, buttonning up the details... After that its going to stay put, or just parades, as I will be starting the TZ250W for next year... Hopefully Fred http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f274/fredybender/...

Here are some videos of the 1985 250cc season. Finally some videos of the ND5 :D :D :D !!! Spencer was actually a works bike called the NSR250W, but its stil an ND5 :wink: It was carachterized by having Magnesium cases, derived from the 500. The rest of the drivers, had the real ND5; and if you unde...

That would be great of you could get some period pictures! And even try to get Paul to see the rebuild... Had some nasty surprizes, when I opened the cases (good thing I did) Saved by a "unobtanium" crate that came with the bike... Fred http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f274/fredybender/RS...

Started again; the weather has gotten cold, so time to be in the shop ;) RS is almost naked. I will be dissassembling the motor. I will keep one set of jugs to keep the original HRC pistons (for authenticity), and will make the CR125 Wiseco conversion on the other set of cylinders & heads that I...

Project is finally finished: Time for final pictures, and enjoy the work (sitting back and enjoying a beer or two, while looking at the bike...) http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f274/fredybender/IMG_3701.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f274/fredybender/IMG_3703.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/...

Finaly: Some pictures of almost finished product; still have to make another seat foam... Compare original, with final product... not bad, stil a few details to be taken care of, but project, especially when it comes to the mechanics (parts are the worst... ) the project is to my liking! Fred PS: Ou...

Thanks for the compliments for the bike, but I still need to work on those numbers !!! I agree, they do look like sh!t...

See you soon...

Fred

Had the RS250 on the track at Shannonville yesterday; Smiles per miles is priceless!!! Oh my god! This is my first experience with GP bikes... Woow! what a blast! Ran the bike rich (182 mains) with 30:1 A747 Bike is filthy, will get it cleaned up by tommorow... Still missing the bottom fairing, will...

Preliminary pictures back from the paint shop: This is not a perfect job,: I am the only culprit... I am the one who made the stripes, and all the prep, and also the lines & proportions compared to the original Honda "marketing" bike. This is my first attempt at painting, and only havi...

Today was a special day! Not because its april fools day, but I have managed to get something done right! Well, the result! First I wanted to take care of all the loose ends: Alignment of the wheels, coolant circuit testing, bleeding brakes again, tightening the chain just right, shrink wrap my exha...
