Update Benelli 250 2c first serie 1972

After riding the bike in caferacer style

for a couple of months

I changed it in the Original style

This is better for the engine

because you dont have to go faster and faster

Its better to keep this machine in the Original way it is

I think.......

 

 

 

Moto Guzzi V50 III

This is a wonderful bike to drive.

First I wanted to change it in a scrambler....

than to a caferacer.....

 

and now I think: let it original

 

 

Great sound by the way

 

 



Mine Triumph T140 had Triumph silencers and not from BSA

 

Ok

a lot of people  think that the silencers are BSA ones,

but that isn't so

Triumph had them aswell but they are longer,

so the kickstart won't hit the exchaust

 

So if you looking foor this kind of silincers on you're Triumph....

 

they excist

Update 23-4-2013 Benelli 250 2c first serie 1972

I met Sytze van den Berg from Holland and he was one of the mechanics of Rob Bron.

Now Rob Bron was a very good racer in the 70-80's

He drove in the same races as Agostini, Sheene and Turner

He also drove a topspeed of 342 km/u - 212.50 m/h on the 200 miles of  Daytona in 1978.

Now you know where I'm talking about.

Now Sytze is very into Benelli 2 stroke.

So I met him last week and he was very pleased to see me !!!!!

Why?



Now first I asked him te look at mine engine if I need some new bits and pieces

Then he told me that it was one of the first series of the 250 2c.

Even the crankshaft was from the first serie he told me.

(i didn't know there was a different one)

The pistons had grooves (see photo)

And even the manifold (intake befor the carbs)where the early ones

He looked at the complete bike with the different footrests (see photo)

and the early framenumber (just 4 figures)

Aprilia taillight

Borrani rims (record)

Inox mudgards

Grimeca double leading brake shoe (L+R)

Marzocchi front

Tomaselli handlebar and so on....

Than He told me I got a very rare nearly original bike

Just the silentium silincers are from a later model but they are nearly brand new

So, not only I met somebody who knows where he's talking about, even met a nice person who was very pleased he saw all the beautiful original early stuff of the 250 2c

 

Now a few photo's of the Benelli 250 2c

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Update Benelli 250 2c from 1972

Did some cleaning last night and I'm pleased what I found under the dirt.

Nearly new exhaust.

The seat looks brand new now

The borrani rims shine, so it can only go better with this bike

 

 

Benelli 250 2c from 1972 (caferacer)

I bought today a Benelli 250 2c model 1972 with original Dutch licenses and blue plate from march 1974.
I think it's already for 99% a caferacer except for the handlebar
If you change that in a M bar you nearly there

It got

Marrazochi frontfork
Borrani rims
Double leading shoe L+R
original Benelli caferacer seat
and RVS mudguards

Updates Yamaha XS 850

Here some pictures about the Yamaha XS850 triple.

Did some polishing and found some better looking parts.

Still looking for nice parts......

I bought a Yamaha XS850 last week

 

I'm looking for parts of this bike

It's a Yamaha XS 850

Think about:

Headlight

exhaust

flashlight

 

UPDATE 21-02-2013

 

Did find a headlight flashlight and some other pieces for the XS850.

Did painted the wheels and brakes into black

The colour was the same as the the brown of the tank.

Too much brown......

Put nice flashlights on it , also the hard to find rear flashlights european style, and a nearly brand new original handlebar

Also changed the haedlight ears and today I'm getting an original headlight with the post.

Did some polishing except the engine because I still have to work on that

Next week I'm gonna change some gaskets of the engine

 

Here a picture how she looks today

 

 

and when I bought her

 

here's also a picture of the bike from the first owner

I found him on the internet because he had a site with the bikes he owned.

There was my license plate(in Holland the plate stays with the bike)

 

As you can see the silincers are different than mine

I have BSM on it

Still lookin for the original ones.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just took some records out of the record closet

 

I'm gonna play those today on the record player.
