Well after 1 year my roller is fianlly done and i have been promising pic's for quite some time now so here we go.
This 86 frame was found outside Spokane WA sitting in a field. The owner had torn it down four years prior with intentions of doing a rebuild and lost interest. The frame was in very rough shape,3 out of 4 broken front motor mounts,one broken rear motor mount and a almost seperation above the left foot peg.

After spending 10HR's on it and alot of grinding and welding it was in one piece,beefed up and ready for powder.Powder went well and from there i spent alot of time hunting for parts on here, E-Bay and Craigs.
When i first started this project i really needed a hobby as i had just quit booze and had to keep myself busy.I decided to build a 1986 TRX 250r just something to putt around on as i have been out of the sport for almost 20yrs.
After looking at all the uber-hott R's on here my whole mindset shifted and i asked myself "why would you build a stock bike to putt around on?? are you crazy?" I decided to build my "dream R" and started hunting for higher end aftermarket parts. Needless to say i have a grip of stock parts so PM me if you need anything.
It became and still is a obsession!! I have become a 250R nerd and will catch myself up way to late at night reading old threads here. I am single because of "the other women" and im fine with it...HA!
Well long story kinda short heres some pics of my roller. I have custom graphic's,http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff145/pdxbigfoot/jamo_bike_art_sketch_2.jpg custom a-arm guards (reinforced with carbon fiber ), A custom red transparent snap in airbox,a CT bumper thats at powder to mount and alot of random tinkering and troubleshooting to do.

The Motor is at Arlan Lehman"s new shop LeD (pronounced leed) and is very close to final assembly. Its a 330 Pro-X originally ported for drag racing.
That power curve wont work for my style so he pulled the sleeve and is basically starting from scratch with a midrange MX style port job.
Other motor goodies include a ESR head,kicker,shifter, and a CR250 ignition (i know its almost sacrilege considering who's building my motor but thats another story). Brand new cases,Hot-Rod crank,Yukon Gears,Hinson basket and 8 plates,39MM PWK, all new bearings and seals,Custom Direct Drive clear lexan (red) see through clutch cover, That HUGE K&N filter set up and a HANDCONED "one off" pipe from Arlan....im very excited!!
Its been 20 years since i have owned a bike and worth the wait.
I will post more pic's as progress continues. I expect to ride in a month or so.
Thank you! to everyone here and all the people who have really helped out...(You know who you are) and YES i haved named her....LUCRICA
Told you im a R nerd!!!
