well guys here are a few pics i promised some of you, Got all this within the last month and for under 500 bucks total, the R was the best score though! its really dirty in the pics from sittin in the fuys barn for 7yrs! super clean underneath the dirt though! Tomorrow is the day for her to get a bath and be brought back to life! He said it didnt run and he didnt know why, when i got it home i checked the plug and it was terrible, took the one from the 200X (i know they arent the same size) to see if I could get spark and sure enough it had spark. New plug tomorrow, clean the carb, give her some fresh food and all should be well I hope!

The outer edges were all tore up so I took a air powered buzz saw with a fine blade and just cut them off! A jigsaw would work fine but make sure you use a fine blade to you don't make a bunch of hairline cracks! That 250R in the pics got fired up for the first time in seven years today! The only thing it needed was a new plug! Gotta take the carb off tomorrow and clean it up, trike has great power is mid range but is doggy at low rpm and cuts in and out in the high end!
