My 83 250R rebuild is complete

[Dman450R]

Well, my 3 month project is done. I bought two R's back in June and have spent the last 3 months in the garage. I tore em both apart and was able to make a complete trike. These are some of the before pics. After pics to follow. Let me know what you guys think. It's not perfect, but I think it came out pretty good.

Thanks Bud! I'm happy with it. I finished it two weeks ago, rode it around the yard and it wouldn't downshift. I had to tear it apart and found one of the ratchet shifter plunger springs was broke. I pulled one from the other motor and now she's good to go. Tomorrow will be the first time I take her out on the trails and see what happens.

Thanks! I can't wait to find out what bolt I didn't torque properly.

That's looks great, nice work.

Thanks again. I've got about $1000 in her between parts and the two parts bikes. Not too bad. Still need a chain slider. I do have about 300 hours of labor in it though....Let's see, if my time is worth $20 an hour, I guess I'm upside down....Oh well. I'm not selling her anyway!

More pics of the build.

What rear tires are those?

[Dman450R]

They're Cheng Shin?? Came with one of the parts quads. They remind me of the old turf tamers.

Thanks Guys. I just got back from her first ride. I put about 50 miles on her and she ran perfect. I really expected something to loosen up and I thought I would have to make a trail repair, but everything went great. Got her back home, cleaned her up and put her back in the garage.
