Cat 250X Completed !!!

[derekbmn]

Thought I would post up a few pics of my recently completed 250X project. A big thanks to my old man for the killer paint job. At 65 years old he can still lay it down ! This was a big project as far as the frame...it was a literal mess when I got it. Hacked on and chewed up, chain rash almost all the way through the axle tab, loads of added on crap,numerous cracks in the motor plate, holes drilled...you get the point. Much worse then the before pics show.

Before:

Link to some other pics of the build...Cat 250X Resto

:bowdown: Fantastic!!!!!! I see you got rid of the crazy scrub brake. Mine looks just like that (all bent up), or is that the way they came from mfr?
