alright thx for the info

please realize what you are getting yourself into. I did the same thing your doing. I have about $4300 into mine and still steadily climbing. No doubt that you will appreciate it a ton more once its done and you take that first ride on it. I will never sell mine for that reason. Ive put too much blood, sweat, and money into it to just sell it for under 1/2 of what I have into it.

i hear ya. but thats all i would like somethin i can do on the side nd appreciate. mean money is tight concidering im only in high school but ive always loved 250r's nd 450r's nd i cnt affoard a 450 so i jus want to do a project somethin outside of school somethin to say that i did it and something that is mine. i jus love building things and i figure ynot do a crazy classic like the 250. thx for the info tho nd good luck to u nd ur 250 sounds like its goin to be an aswome machine.

thanks man. Im a college student so I was short on money. It took me a year to get it to where it is now. In fact the 1 year anniversary is in 3 days :D

haha sweet. what elkse needs to be done to it? have any pics? seems liek u really care for it id like to c it.

[mineralgrey01gt]

I have some old pics, none of it now. The plastics are getting put on it this weekend, and I am buying Elka shocks for it next week, then after that comes some +2 a-arms and an aftermarket frame then its completely aftermarket besides the hubs which I will change out to aftermarket also. Thats why mine cost so much. I could have build a stock style one for much cheaper

o thts nice elkas r mad nice. ya stock would be cheaper but aftermarkets cooler =)

you definitely have done that with your r. :cool: I'm planning on a ground up build. but not for a while. lots of cash and alot of work. but it all pays off in the end. its nice to see Rs still being built.

[mineralgrey01gt]

thanks man, it all started with a frame off of ebay, then I went crazy with the parts lol. I got a good deal on my frame. Paid $275 for it and it has one tiny weld on it which isnt bad at all and really doesnt affect the frame at all.

my88r, yea your right that I have with mine lol. Ground up builds are really fun. I may do another one but a full drag 250r. I may throw a stroker motor on the one in the pics one day but thats some serious money to build one

[[R]iders!KB]

ya thts cool got a lot of things u wanna do huh lol. i wanna build a 250r from the ground up wicked bad who knows i will sooner or later seems liek fun. uno wat would be cool u should do a hybrid like a 250r setup with like a 450r motor tt would be pritty sick

[mineralgrey01gt]

yea man, i have a lot id love to do lol but its doing it is the problem. Ive seen quite a few 250r hybrid's. They are definitely sick. I want to do one but im gonna find a frame that already has the work done to it for the hybrid, it will be much easier

[[R]iders!KB]

ya tht will be so sick tho ull have a sick *** 250r d a sick *** 250r hybrid... i wish i could jus get a sick quad lol i have a blaster nd im gunna be drivin soon so i cnt get a new quad untill i get a car or truck first which stinks =/ tobad all quads werent street legal lol

[mineralgrey01gt]

just give it time man, at least you have a sport quad at your age. Im 21 and this 250r is my first quad
