I restored this 1979 XL250s a few years ago.
It ended up needing a lot more engine work than I anticipated. (Among other things.)
It was expensive and time consuming finding parts.
(Honda only made this model for three years.)
I put XR gaiters on it because I like gaiters.
I don't think I'll ever restore another dirt bike.
The saddest part is because I'm so tall I find it uncomfortable to ride.
I had an '81 XL185s that I really liked and regret selling years ago.
