Well I have started on the rebuild. Just taken my time this winter so the progress might be slow.
This is what the bike looked like when I started to take it apart:

I am in the process of cleaning everything and refreshing the motor.
I already have the parts back from JB, they powdercoated everything for me.
I am doing;
Trans. blue frame,
white sub-frame, steering stem, engine mounts and brackets,
trans red a-arms, swing-arm, clutch cover, and muffler.

I am am getting a few new parts for it too.
DG pro-pegs, new stock fenders, Quad tech seat cover, and maier hood.

Looks real good. Dig the colors you picked. Jody does some of the best powder coating I've seen....and for a reasonable price.

At first when you were describing the color scheme I didn't think it was going to turn out. Now that I see that, it looks awesome. Sweet color scheme, I wish I could do something like that to my 450.

ms250r
12-31-2005, 03:38 PM
Nick110- Yeah hopefully all the other colors on the bike like the graphics and seat cover will match too. And yeah everyone drinks a little too much.;)

hondacrf15- Jody is really good at about everything he does, and he stands behind everything he makes. good guy.

12-31-2005, 03:45 PM
tcr450r- thanks! yeah when I told my sponsor and the other guys at the shop what color I was going with I dont think they were very impressed , but now that everything is going together everyone really likes it so far.
All last season I was wanting to go with red white and blue but then a couple other guys at the shop were doing their bikes like that so i mixed it up and did translucent colors.

Hey MS250R, you race D-12 AMA? Just wondering b/c your quad looks really familiar. This is Jake Schlosser BTW. Great progress on the build looks badass and keep the pics comin. :D Im also doing a winter rebuild so keep a look out for my post " Slosh's MX TRX: Phase II" in about a week or so:devil:

Everything Is coming along really good. Pretty much got everything done for now, my sponsor just about has my motor done, once I get that bolted in it shouldnt be much longer.

My sponsor is getting ready to leave for california for 2 weeks so I wont be able to work on it for a while. :(
I try to get some better pics later.

ms250r
02-02-2006, 06:29 PM
One_Bad_400 -yeah I really like those graphics, I think I am going with some custom graphics, I am going to try to get a metalic blue and red look along with white to match the bike.

440ex#28- I am pretty sure they are 20.5" shocks
