    My 87 Lt250r restoration

    This bike has Ohlin's piggyback shocks all around (which were rebuilt and tuned by Litz in Blountville TN) and a FMF full system. It also has DG bumper, grab bar, nerf bars, center skid and Renthal handle bars. I'm not sure of the manufacturer yet but it has a +4 rear axle and Douglas wheels all around with Razr tires. I also had to track down a factory nose piece to replace the Black one and get a Ceet blue seat cover for it.

    I am currently waiting on the engine to come back from CT Racing. They are using a 74mm Kawasaki piston (67mm is stock) for mine. I don't know what the actuall cc will be but it's 70mm stroke x 74mm bore if somebody wants to figure it up. They are also doing TT style porting with 13.5/1 compression and a 41.5mm carb. He says it will be a beast when I get it back. I can't wait.

    74X70 makes 300.8cc. It should definetly be a beast! What piston is that from do you know? Nice build by the way.

    Thanks for figuring up the CC and thanks for the compliment. As for the piston, in not sure what it's for but I try to find out for you.

    I see u have a 87 too. I love these bikes. I can't wait to try to lay the smack down on some of these new thumpers.

    are you going to keep the fmf pipe or get another? I think a power pros or ftz pipe would be better suited to the porting and other mods your doing. The fmf will hold it back for sure.

    CT told me the latter FMF pipes were ok but the earlier ones suck. I don't really know which one I've got so I'm just going to see how it runs and go from there. I would really like to get a Dr.Q pipe for it one day but I will check them all out and try to do research and see what's best for my setup. CT says they make a killer pipe.

    yeah the ct pipe is made by power pros i think. And yeah it would be stronger than the fmf!

    Should I run gold wheels on this bike? I like how they look but they are hard to find. Does anybody know where to get them? Or should I have my Douglas wheels annodized gold? Or just leave them alone and not worry about it?
