86/87 Project

[ridered250R]

Hey guys, this is a build that I have been working on for quite some time and I know how everyone likes to see something come together. So I thought that I would let you all in on it. It won't be anything to special seeing as it is my spare for friends and family to ride but still fun to see especially for all of us who can get enough of R's.

Little history is that I bought this about two years ago, friend blew it up with in the first month I had it when the needle bearing in the crank went out. I traded a nice 660R Raptor for it and got taken but I didn't care cause I just wanted another R after buying my first a month earlier. This is a slow project but I will do my best in keeping your interest. Many parts on this new bike are and will be from all of you on here, so thanks and maybe you'll recognize them. Photos to come soon.

FYI - When I got this bike it had an 1/8 inch of bright red rhino liner sprayed on the frame that had faded to a light pink. It was very hard to remove. Used a razor blade and a flat head screw driver.

Actually it is a Paul Turner, it is still in pretty good condition. I don't plan to use it cause it seperates at the expansion chamber and I can't get it apart like it is stuck or rusted together. :( Oh well. I have a spare FMF SST pipe that i think I will use. The existing cylinder is a PC2000 285 PV, and I am going to swap it with a 265 and a serious port job. We'll see how it goes.
