cheers for the nice compliment.
I'm not restoring the GSX 250 just tidiying it up and to make it road worthyfor work.
before I repaired the seat.
when I sat on it it flexed to much and felt unstable not that it would fall off.
yes it was a little hard welding in some place's keep burning holes here and there.
so to get round that ,I pulled the torch away from the welding point a little till I get enough spatter and then I closed in to weld and melt the metal enough to stick.
it not perfect but good enough considering that I had no shape or info to work from.
as you can see I had to cut most of the rotted bit away to leave me some nice clean metal to weld to.
I'm happy with the result.
these seat are hard to come by.most venders I emailed to said their's are rotted to...
I'll just paint it with hammerite paint this will hide most of the flaws.
I've also used that to paint the frame with good results.
also I will get the seat recovered that should be around £60.
the engine sound sweet as a nut ,no rattles etc.
befor I bought it it had £700 spent on it!( just over $1,000)
it had the engine rebuild,fork stantion re-chromed springs oil etc,new shocks,2 x silencers.rectifyer/regulater,and many other things on it had been replaced etc.
why do these folks spend so much money only to give up.
so far apart from buying it I've spent about (by the time I've finnished it) £135..($200)
once I finnish I will post some before and after pics. john
