Well, here's another build thread. I bought this 87 frame about 2 years ago and slowly started gathering parts for it. I've always wanted a 250r, and after selling my 400ex a couple years ago and wanting to build a toy from scratch, I decided to build the baddest quad of all time! Enjoy
Frame-1987, I added the Puma gusset kit and fixed all the factory welds. I spent about a week on the frame alone, eliminating unwanted brackets, and smoothing the factory welds. I think it looks alot cleaner. I did all the frame work, blast and powder/powder clear coat. Some pics of the frame coming along, repair and fitting up the propeg nerfs. Its real nice to work at 150,00 sq ft fab facility for doing work like this!
Suspension- Laeger's +2 front, 05 450r from the spindles out. Rear-89 swingarm, 05 450r brake setup, Ohlins shock
Motor- This came out of the 86 bike I bought for parts. It has a ported 85 cylinder,hot rods crank, and is currently at 69mm. 38mm airstryker from a 99 CR250
Lonestar- +2 stem, 450r antifade rotor/hub
