Favorite color combination for a 250R

[riverrat]

What's your favorite color combination for a 85-86 250R? I am hoping to build another one this year, for next years ice, and I have been tossing around ideas. I was thinking all black, with red tank shrouds, red frame, chrome, and polished everything on the motor, and a chrome swingarm. Possibly red vinyl flames extending off the shrouds onto the tank. Maybe a red seat. Polished aluminum rims, or maybe anodize the rims black. I'm not to worried about getting it messed up, cause it will be for the ice only. They don't get dirty out there, just beat up by ice chips.

Also been wondering about using the new color chromes on the frame, but I don't think it's good to chrome a frame? I remember hearing that chroming suspension parts weakens them. Anyway, I am having trouble visualizing it.

If you got pictures, or links to pictures, that would be cool.

White swing arm and shocks, yep black plastic sounds good, Green frame like grave digger, green rims. with red tank. Chrome engine if you want. White or red seat, I am thinking white seat for sure.
Yeah that will be twisted cool.

i like the black 250r's,not all black but most of it.black and chrome would look sick for sure.

Ive always like just regular red plastics with a blue frame.

[oldskool83]

i like the all white and blue framed and blue seated ones, they really POP out it seems.

In my opinion you can't beat the restored factory look

My plan now that I have officially declared my R my wedding present to my self and a money pit just like a damn boat im going all black plastic, green or silver vein frame, polished mounts, cold black motor possibly matte black for motor have not decided yet, black satin swinger, probably black pegs as well, there is a guy here locally that can dip plastics and make them look carbon fiber but I have not decided on that yet or not, I gotta get the tank done for sure though

I like the grave digger look.

I once saw an orange and black Harley cafe racers. The frame was orange. It looked really cool. I would love to do one orange and black too. I would probably have to get some white plastic parts, and dye them. I would go with orange frame, tank shrouds, and seat, the rest black. Maybe even an orange swinger. Black rims, with orange pinstripes on them.

that red n white racer!

[Mondexbrute]

the blue & chrome is so sexy!

Whatever you do, don't depend on putting any sort of vinyl or stickers on the tank. They will not stick and your graphic scheme will be ruined. When deepa brought his black and silver R out to one of the rides in PA I thought that it looked HOT! I think that black plastics with an orange frame and swinger would look even better. You can get a black tank I think but if not you can always have a black tank cover made. Maybe an orange tank cover that could flow into an orange seat cover. I'm thinking orange like the KTM quads have.

I think Black scratches to quick. My favorite color scheme Is Red white and blue. White frame, Red plastic, Blue highlight's!

Fire1 has the sweetest looking 250R IMO also ;)

[JohnR.]

I agree that black scratches quick but you gotta keep in mind its only for the ice.

[3wheelmecca]

I think a 250R would look slick with all blackout plastics and a nickel (smoke chrome, gray chrome engine with a gold pipe). put on a set of chrome wheels or golds. I want to do it to my R, but platers are soooo far away.
fire1's R is awesome though.

[Dammit!]

Red, black and white!

[johnny's X]

I am partial to Caseys 250r. The white with the lime green frame. Looks pretty hot

[riverrat]

Thanks so much guys, these pics and links are awesome!
I like white, but the trike I am building will be primarily for ice, and white doesn't stand out as good.

[oldskool83]

yellow and white would
