Alright here goes. I'm 17 and my dad has been a big part of my life, he sold his 89 pro trax 250r to raise me and put me on nice machines. He recently purchased a 89 roller but shortly after, he found out he has testicular cancer. He'll be ok in the long run because we caught it in time but he decided shortly after to sell the build. I bought it back from the guy for a song and I am in need of some things to finish this for him. My goal is to finish this by his birthday in October on my retail/school budget. Here is a list of what i need and where I am at now.
complete frame and swinger are blasted, gusset kit welded in and painted
shocks need to be rebuilt - mcr suspension is local or somewhat close to us, they are works front and rear but need a rebuild unless someone knows a better place to send price wise.
tank is polished back up
brake system is there and cleaned up and rebuilt
misc hubs, pegs, ect is blasted and painted
plastic will be bought later, either laker or fullbore
front rims and tires are mounted ect
I need to locate the following -
a decent wiring harness, or system
I would like to buy +2 arms, and will but if anyone has a good +2 set for a ok price let me know
motor - I am doing this last, I've been looking but I am going to sell my back up bike towards the end to this to purchase one, I have a LRD pipe and silencer that he had laying around.
right now the wiring harness is a big deal, if I cant find a good one. I will need to go to the cr style set up and this will back my time frame up, also looking for a 8" set of rear beadlocks if anyone has a decent set laying around, which I doubt very much. I never had the chance to ride a 250r, nor do I remember much about his, I was 3 when he sold it, but I have pictures to go off of and it's close now. I guess in a nut shell this is my chance to give something back to him for all that he has done for me and provided the bikes I have had and currently have, Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Dustin
