I finally finished this one, it took a while mainly because winter sucked. This is also Leroy's and is the 4th 250 triple I've done in a row. The rear tire is a 4.00 so it's incorrect but the rest of the bike is ok. The paint is 3 stage candy like always and was matched to the non-faded paint on the original body work. It still needs the tach warning label(I'm still waiting RB)and the helmet hook decal. When I fired this one up a few days ago it started on the second kick and runs very nice. Charlie's cranks are like fine swiss watches. Sorry about the size of most of the pictures, I didn't realize my camera setting was changed but it's back now.

































By the way, this is why a lot of switches don't work anymore.


































































Well, I thought I had the camera set right.

Thanks fellas! The fuel tank was repainted. It was dent free but the paint was tired.

Beautiful - not sure how well that paint matches the original colour (probably perfect), but it looks amazing!

Beautiful work ,

Leroy is a very lucky man to have found you! Beautiful!

Hi GUTS
I continue to be amazed at the paint work on your restorations. Did Hector also do this bike? I have an H1D that I recently acquired and I need a factory correct paint job.

Thanks !

Another fine example of Guts being one of a very small handful of the best restoration specialists there are.
