bikerjon is 100% right! get the 250r.. clean it up, and flip it if your dont happy with the way it performs! the 89's were the most desired! i had a buddy sell an 89' 250r about a year ago. he sold if for 4200.00!! but it was all redone
Well i say nice work!! I will not be buying or using a stock head anytime soon but i will give props to anyone("redneck", or "pro") that can fix something fuck up! Good job dude!
I do agree that if you go about it the proper way, paint will hold up pretty well!! But no way in hell will paint EVER be as durable as a good powder-coat job!!
