Restoring a yamaha IT 250 K FULL restoration from pig to minty

purchased this bike in spring 2017, set about restoring it from the ground up, got it running in nov 2017 hope to be riding it soon. Spent an absolute fortune on this restoration with an aim of making it the best it could possibly look. Imported rare parts from USA, france, portugal, and italy at great expense. polished up all the alloy parts with an eBay polishing wheel i purchased. Had to resort to replica side panels in the end as the retired originals i had for the bike ended up making it look half finished. Had a couple of potential buyers scoff at the repair i had made on them, but in my eyes originality was the key!....ended up being low ball messers anyway and sold it to really nice guy who bought it blind, just by the pictures who 2 years later is still in touch. Learnt a lot doing this restoration, ie if you want to sell it take the personal touches out of it as it just costs you time and money. perfection can only be achieved if you have a good base to work from, which in general this was. Had a hell of a job getting the engine to run right but i think that was more down to the piston/exhaust/ jetting combination. but when i took it back to stock settings all became clear. A lot more peaky than the 490 i just finished instant power if you want it more akin with a YZ which in my opinion made it a scarier bike to ride at full chat. seems like a distant memory now. Would love to build another but the smaller cc ITs make them harder to sell on as everyone wants a big bore 465/490 if they are going to own an IT, if they are going to do motorsports most opt for the 175 which are plentiful in the UK and cheaper to maintain.
