Yeah, looking good.

 

concerning vtr250 parts bikes, etc-------------------------------i have a shit ton of spare used vtr parts 4 sale including 2 rollin frames w ith electricks---and an engine 30,ooo miles, some good parts, just not the rear rod, piston and the crank View attachment 106078 --- this bitch blowedup (@WFO) 10 days after i bought it, 3rd ride ! 35k miles lon the clock

 

Since I don't have the original petcock lever and my amazon unit is way too long, I found a 3D printing file for this exact bike. Captured the file and had my friend print one. I will test it tonight. Hopefully I am one and done.

 

capt ' 80's might be looking for a freeplacement for that bit from another honda i believe, since theyre NLA----our ultimate parts master u gotta be sure not to twist it hard against the stop or it could break, tear out the square drive end----good job finding that file

 

Shit. I'll double down on digging out my candidate.

 

I wonder if you could epoxy a metal sleeve around the end that engages the petcock for some twisting reinforcement to avoid a "blowout" at the boss on the petcock and some distance back.

 

You could leave the end “open” and have it ready for a metal insert. Just need a square female m4 thread, er m5 … that is what my Amazon special had, but the stalk was too thick and too long, if you played shopper im sure you would find the right fitment, after $100 of Amazon guessing.
I gave mine a white tip for visibility. Works nicely. The mater has some carbon in it I believe so strength might not be a problem.

 

This the end. 8 months and some Hail Mary’s and viola the complete 1990 VTR250. Here is before:

 

Now:

 

Excellent work my brother!!!

good as new

 

Thanks boyz!
Not quite, but enough for me to be done and find a new home for the little guy.

 

Looks really great. That is a LOT of work.

 

Kudos. Nice turn around.

 

I am actually kinda sad. She looks so nice and runs so well, but I don't think I would really ever ride the bike. Once I get out of the immediate 8-10 miles the speed required to stay safe is too high. The Hawks kinda struggle with this as well.
I have some parts sorting, but then it will be off to the market. I will post what is available just in case anyone here needs parts not named Capt.
