Wow man, this was an awesome resto. I hope to be able to find a cheap LT250R this summer and do something similar.
Just curious as to how much you paid for it originally? Up here in Canada the prices for used quads are ridiculous, I will be looking to get something from NY or MI.
nice quad I like it
I had to give $700 for it at first, which I think is kinda high. I've put quite a bit more in it now though.
$700? HOLY CRAP MAN
The cheapest LT250R I could find in Ontario was like $1200, and it wasn't even assembled and needed several parts! lol
I don't know how much I will have in it by the time I'm finished though. I will probably never call it complete though
A few things still on my "to do" list for this bike is to order some of the custom carbon fiber V2 reed's made for a '87 zilla from Tuders Performance and get a new clutch with billet clutch basket. Then I wanna shave some weight off of it so I'm gonna replace the factory front spindles with a aluminum set from a z400. They are a direct fit to the quadracer if u run upper ball joints on the upper and lower A-arms. You have to run the z400 hubs with them after that though which changes the lug pattern. I also read that yfz450 dual piston front brake calipers are a direct replacement for the z400 calipers so if I am switching hubs and spindles, I might as well switch calipers too. After I do that I wanna find a aluminum rear brake hub since the factory one is steel.
I love this quad!!! I had an 87 lt250r when I was 14 and loved it, wish I had never sold it. Man did I ever beat the snot out of that thing. This brings back some good memories.
I had a '86 quadracer all stock when I was in high school and really liked it. Big step up from my warrior. I can't wait to hear this thing run.
I also got ATVriders.com decals in the mail Friday. I'm glad they finally came.
I stopped in Dave's machine shop today to get an update on my bottom end. He just recieved a bottom end gasket set and crank bearings and seals that he ordered. He asked me if it was ok to work on and lighten the flywheel, so I just said go for it. Is ther anything in particular I should check or look for or modify in the bottom end while he has it apart.
