WHAT DID YOU DO TODAY? WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION? LETS TALK ABOUT IT!!!

I picked up a FREE '03 yz250 a couple days ago. Just dropped the motor off at Lindsay machine to get new crank and piston/sleeve. Should cost about $1k, but that still seems like a good deal for the bike.
 
Built an axle display cart. Might be overkill after I mount the shocks.

Nice job on the cart Mitch, you'll win the beer cooler cart ramp flex test for sure with that!!!

Me and my buddy Dwayne welded up a Unimog 404 3rd member for me to carry as a spare... found out last time I romped on helldorado water fall I demolished the side gears!!!

Its like a yota V6 carrier, we welded the side & spider gears and put a plate in and welded it too.

Bent the oil ring on my new piston for my yz450. Anyone know if you can straighten a ring that is slightly bent. It's a real pain to get all 4 rings in the jug at once. The top oil ring got caught and now has a small jog but no crease.

I think there was somebody selling a piston for a yz450

Dont do it. Get new rings.
 
Not using a ring compressor.

I ran to RMATV and got new rings this morning. It's not worth the $40 to gamble a $500 cylinder.
