1981-82 honda 250r`s let`s see some pics......

[BIG_RED-ICULOUS]

I see lots of pics and articles about 1983 and newer 250r trikes but I don`t see too much about the first generation 250r (81-82). Who out there has some pics of these machines and who has any info to share about modding them...????

[fabiodriven]

I'm sure most guys are sick of seeing the same pics of my R, but you asked for it so I'm posting them.

Mine was not built by me, but by 200Xman (Todd). He did a spectacular job with this machine. It runs flawlessly and goes like a raped-ape. I don't know what condition it was in when he started but here are the mods I can think of off the top of my head-

Hondaline 300cc big bore kit

Full Kerker exhaust

Pro-Tec boost bottle and intake

pod type air filter

Westcoast swingarm

Durablue axle

bigger carb (34mm?) from an 85 R (first-gen R's had a puny 27mm carb I believe)

Works shock

Dirt Works front fender

There may be more done to it, Todd would know better than me. I think the most common and best mods would have to be the carb and pipe. I would do those two first, especially if you happen to come across a machine that still has the original first-gen carb on it.

WOW very nice indeed, I`ve just picked up a pretty much stock 81 r so now the question is wher do I find some of those performance parts.......

[three_wheelin45]

Ebay is probaly your best bet ;) or you can try the classifides

[fabiodriven]

Oh c'mon guys! I don't have the only first-gen R on here!

[sx250heath]

That thing is beeeaaaauutiful!!! Is that a CR250r mugen motor? It is the ME360 kit right?

Fabio, you running a Mugen kit on yours?

[f4istunna]

mine when i got it and almost done pic. I got a seat and rear fenders for it now i just gotta put them on and some carb work

[Julle74]

Is that a CR250r mugen motor? It is the ME360 kit right?

Its the Atc motor with counterbalancer. This 82 is a complete former 360 racer exept the topend is missing. When i got her she had a stock topend on and ran decent but dident rev out at all and had bad vibrations, because the bottomend were 360 modified(bored out cases for the bigger sleeve, 4 big balance holes in the crank for the 83,5mm piston and retarded ignition). I now have a Hondaline 300r 77mm bore Trx330 piston modded and ported by Flotek on her, and now the vibes aint noticeble anymore and she revs to the mon. I am looking for a 360 topend for a decent price but ist hard to find. It have Mugen front fork springs and Mugen rearshock ,Mugen vented airboxlid, 360 pipe and exhaustflange, Honda emblem on cases machined of for the Mugen stickers, upgraded(bigger) tankbolts for the 360 headstaybrackets, Mugen clutch springs and even the Gunnar Gasser twist throttle from the 360 stage II kit is still on her. Other rare parts are Calfab +3 swinger, Durablue +4 axle, Dico 8x6inch wide frontrim have the matching rears also, oldschool heelguards. Thanx!

Did you find another model seat or make one? I cannot seem to find any decent seat pans for a first gen 250r.

Also, are you using the 450r rear shock and removing the airbox, turning the shock backwards, or what? Didn't look like it'd fit with the piggy-back reservoir.

I'm hopefully going to have a 450r swingarm/rear end set up, 2001 raptor 660 shock or 85/86 atc/trx 250r shock. Still some other things to address. But will (hopefully) have my CR480 engine in it.

[Julle74]

Where did you get those headlights and what are they? Here is the Swedish place i got them from. Have seen them on Ebay serching on Twin headlights http://www.biltema.se/sv/Bil---MC/MC/Tillbehor/Helljusstralkastare-Twin/

[Tecate250]

I like my grab bar on the tecate. It was almost going to be a trick rack till I traded it.

[aldochina]

heres mine
http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv103/aldochina/102_2824.jpg

seriously though, i love the raw look of the first gen r. nice trikes guys. Some day i would like to find a nice one.

[sx250heath]

i am thinking about dropping a hondaline 300 kit in mine.

[Gripit'n'ripit]

Turning into an expensive toy. Currently stripped down. All new bearings and seals in engine. New bears and parts in swing arm and carrier, cleaned and repaired gas tank. Douglas rims on back. When i'm done i'll put a new pic up for a 'before and after.'

Badass 300!!

[manbearpig]

hello guys,

picked up my first 82 back in june and my second just the other day. the first is pretty much done n is ridden. the second will be done soon.

when i got this one, all tires were trashed so i threw a set of flat track tires n hubs from my 70 n an old balloon tire for the front so it'd roll while i cleaned the carb. it ran when i bought it (for $200 :-) )

http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k557/proct103/250r004.jpg

plastics were trashed and so was seat so i sourced a set from a guy locally. plastics are fine aside from stickers, but old glory got sacrificed to make a seat cover, patriotic and not-so-patriotic all at once :-/

http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k557/proct103/250r007.jpg

a set of bushwacker 22x11x8s were tested, not so happy with the results

http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k557/proct103/009.jpg

http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k557/proct103/008.jpg

now its gotten a smaller front tire n smaller knobbies n thats probably how its going to stay

http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k557/proct103/250r.jpg



heres a few pics of the one i got just the other day ( for $150 :-)!! )

has a 300 kit and stock exhaust. will be looking for aftermarket exhaust.
