Finally got the 'wheeler put back together tonight...but it will never be "done." Thanks to a lot of you guys on here and ebay.

I replaced the frame with a real nice powdercoated 1989, 1/4" belly skid, armadillo swingarm skid, 86 a-arms, WP Piggybacks, new bushings and bearings everywhere possible, used Maier plastics, different motion pro twist throttle, modified 38mm airstryker with a fuel filter, replaced axle & hubs, repacked and polished the silencer, new front brake discs and pads on 86 spindles/hubs, used PRM front bumper, new baja style rear bumper, radiator guard, silver vein powdercoat radiator scoops, and Graydon Proline pro-peg nerfs that I still have to fit up. Oh yea...and the goofy Natty Light can shrouding the rear shock rezzy...I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things.

Hey, on a side note, how do you get multiple pictures into the same post?

Hey thanks, I appreciate it. Hopefully the next time I tear into it good; it's to do something interesting like a long travel front end or a powervalve big bore!

It was frustrating having it in pieces for so long, and seeing TRX450R's go so cheap off the showroom floor, but I resisted the temptation.

very nice, that's the look I like. The 250R stock fenders are so great, I never like it when people cut them off.

Thanks for your opinions. I've always thought the R fenders looked pretty good just as they are and never saw the point to hack them up. I really don't like the wild color schemes that look like a paint department exploded. Although everyone has different tastes and those kind of things are what makes the world go 'round.

I'm kind of going for the whole crazy power xc type build. I can see long travel font end, & axle, rebuilt rear shock, big nikasil p/v motor & radiator, and some baja lookin' lights in my future. But for now; it's plenty a handfull.
