    Well done and congratulations on this series, C. I’ve followed along from the start building my bare metal bobber I’ve taken to calling “ little rusty”. The amount of information you’ve provided along the way has been well presented and tested and proven by you. You’ve made mine and I’m sure many other vx250 owners feel confident that we could replicate and do these mods ourselves In our own sheds with basic toolkit’s. I’ve pretty much finished mine and am moving to an XJ600 as my next project. I’m keen to follow along with whatever your next project may be. Saturday mornings wouldn’t be the same! Cheers!!!

    Thank you mate, this is why I did the videos, in a sea of youtube negatives, people bitching cause they don't understanding, people trying to be funny, trolls or thinking a free youtube mod will double horsepower etc. You get the pleasure of inspiring genuine guys and gals who want to personalise their bike and it's cool. Good luck with your build and let us know how it goes, cheers!

    @@iRidetas well, I got honda steed 400 for about $666. Runs like beast but need few things like fuel valve and speedometer. However, previous owner told me he changed oil and drove it for 20km. I smell gas in oil crankcase, while oil level is high. I thought the shop he went to didn't change it probably and mixed oil with gas thinking it's a 2 stroke. Or the gas smell is normal? Oil colour is a bit dark in volume.

    oil in fuel not a great combo. I wouldnt assume it was the stroke mix thing mate. Carb float could be stuck open. Fuel thins down the oil making it less effective at lubrication so just be careful. Good luck.with your bike mate!
