Its an 87 with houser +3+1 aarms, 450r front shocks, rebuilt rear shock, CT 310 kit, 38 mm carb, Curtis sparks mx exhaust. Ive got new plastic and graphics and a cf hood to put on as soon as I get the rest of my parts from service honda.

Looks Great!!! Keep us updated with pics as you come along with it!

[Eddiesanders250]

Looks awesome, coming together nicely. keep updated with pics.

[350ROOST]

Thoes pic's bring back some good memories of rebuilding the R.

[wicked265R]

i was looking at those a-arms and I have the same ones but long travel. could you just cut the shock mounts on those std travel arms and just weld it further down the a-arm to make it long travel? looks to me like it would work. just would have to be precise measurements.

Hell yea they do, they are one of the best 2 stroke pipes out there, and they have a great sound.

Sweet R man, she'll rip when your done with it.:cool:

[elbine69]

thanks for all the nice comments.

wicked265r you prolly could do that as long as you had good measurements. I imagine that the aarms are made the same and just have different shock mounting locations.

i always wanted a 250r to redo

good luck

[hondardr4life]

I always wanted a 250r, and I finally got one, lol. They are a blast to ride. What kind of bumper do you have on that, elbine?

[elbine69]

its an ac stadium bumper

[elbine69]

made some progress on it this weekend. ive gotta do a little trimming on the front plastic so it mounts up right around the gas tank. theres like a lip at the top sticking out that needs to be removed. sorry bout the pics a few of them are a lil dark

[Tom TRX250R]

Looks kick ***!!!! Hipers would set that thing off! I like the color scheme you chose, really goes good together!!

[hondaracer911]

Dude quad's really started to look sick. I remember when you first got it, it was nothing like it is now. Turned that quad right around. Hopefully this year you will be able to stomp the competition with the new ride. Good luck man!!

[250-R-250]

What color red is that and where you get it? It looks great!

On the frame? We had a few extra gallons of international harvestor red left over so I figured the price was right why not use it. You can get it at tractor supply. It was the first time I used a paint gun to paint with. It could be a lil better but its not to bad.

[250-R-250]

Cool man, have you ridden it much yet? Hows do you think that it will hold up? Also, did you make that rear master cylinder guard?

[450r51]

looking good man, lets hope it will hold together for race season!


go git r done.

[slamdak8782]

looks really good i like those 450r shock on there. What did you use in the rear for a shock ?

no wonder you were banned:ermm: :rolleyes:

[elbine69]

Ive only ridden it up and down the driveway one time. Hopefully tonight I can ride it some more cuz its dried up alot.

The rear shock is just a stock one thats rebuilt.

[slamdak8782]

how is the rear linkage rebuilt do you bottom out a lot because mine does

[250R-Dee]

Slamdak, did you get the correct dogbone? The early year dogbone is 1" longer later year dogbone.

Elbine - schweet ride!!
