I saw that one you'd got.
And the stamped frame.
Have you got 'provenance' on that - re : it really being a Lamson bike and the stampings being real?
If you have provenance, or can get it, it would be almost a crime to do anything to the bike other than bring it back to what it was when Lamson had it.
I'm not trying to be an arsehole, just hoping that something that could, perhaps be a genuine thing, doesn't get carved up. Over your way, it seems old CRs are a dime a dozen, and it might be more appropriate to build up a nice 96 250/ AF conversion out of something other than what may be a special bike.
Off course, it's yours to do what you like with.

I don't have it yet, its being shipped from texas end of this week. although the Lamson connection is there it did not factor into me buying this bike as there is no hard documentation. I bought it because the price got down way below what I could build it for. the story is that at the end of his stint with husqvarna he broke his leg and it ended his contract. while healing honda tried to recruit him and sent him this bike. he ended up signing with suzuki the next season. he bike ended up with a texas dealer that fields a lot of racers and was sold in a box to a racer in san antonio who rebuilt it.
supposedly had the stamps on the bottom of the frame and the steering head. supposedly has the number 08847 stamped on the swingarm, engine cases, pipe. pipe is supposedly signed by donnie emler sr. suspension supposedly has a lot of special coatings and internals. gearbox components are supposed to be all hard coated.
anyone with a set of punches could fake this so I really don't care too much. I plan to ride the thing.
