Finished Project - El Diablo
5 Attachment(s)
Here is my EC250 that I have bought as a project to restore....I bought it for ?600 but I knew that the suspension bearings were f**ked etc and all it needs is a bit of TLC to make it a good again I'm gonna bring it upto date to look like a 2011 bike (ish)
Moneys tight as I have a 3 month old baby to look after so it's definitely not a project that I'm going to throw lots of cash at ....Just a saturday night project whilst that bastard x factor & dance yerself into a frenzy bullshit thats on TV every saturday night for 3 hours. Over the next few months I hope to have it built back up and get riding 'El Diablo |
I can tell it's older by the logo on the clutch cover. What year is it? Nice start with the Ohlins front. I'm jealous.
I'm still lovin' my '00 |
I would guess 2001

It's either a 1996 or 1997. That's when Gas Gas hired Paul Edmonson to develop the bike.

It's a 1998 six days model...and yes they are paoli forks ( I've never even heard of them ) the seals buggered in one of them.
I wish they were ohlins or marzzochi's but they'll do the job Frame's hanging up in primer at the minute, I want it to look different to when I bought it so I'm painting the frame & swingarm matt black I've seen a place in the U.S. called go fasters where I plan to get a new seat cover and radiator shroud graphics...but the postage to the UK is too high.I could probably post the same things to the U.S. for 1/2 the price I'll post up more pics but everytime I take pictures on my camera for some reason it makes them fahookin massive and it wont let me upload them I'm looking forward to riding 'el diablo' my last bike I had was 2 years ago and that was a kawasaki zx10r road bike and that was insane..I miss it so much. But I'm a 2 stroke man at heart and to smell that smell and hear that noise makes me want to get into that powerband already.. |
That frame is nickel plated,, you'll have a hard time getting paint or primer to stick.. if you have access to glassbeader.. or sandblaster.. I'd suggest doing it.. if you want it to stick.. or take it to a powdercoater..

Around 2001, E-Line did some Honda CR/Enduro conversions that had Paoili forks.
I wanna say they had KYB internals. |
