Awesome deal for $400!!!!! Did you find much rust? how were the foot peg bolt holes?

[k00leo]

Looking like a very nice build.

What color combinations you looking to do?

[Remingtonsteel]

it was 99% rust free lil surface rust on the top of forks and foot peg bolts are good pegs are shot though. right now the frame is white with some pearl in it and the plan is white front and rear and leaving the radiator shroud and air box cover black(because i cant find them in white.) swing arm is going to be either matalic black or white like frame, blacked out engine polished forks and some other chrome piceces along the way.

[Lil Earl]

thats a good deal, i cant wait to see it come together, its looking very good though so far

[Remingtonsteel]

thanks the more i keep wondering the forum the more ideas ive been getting but im also see in a lot more $$$$ lol

[RID3R]

Maybe you could get a yz clutch cover and find a fix for the rear fenders being in the way... A short kicker is all you may need. I dont see why everyone keeps that forward setup. I think it would be cool with a rear kick, not just more reliable

Does look to be coming along, ill stay posted.

[Remingtonsteel]

that would be a cool idea i know i have had a few shin and foot slaps from my 200x's and it almost makes me not want to ride.lol

[RID3R]

No kidding... Forgot to mention last post if you really want white airbox and shrouds check out the following link...

[Remingtonsteel]

[Remingtonsteel]

somebody just ordered their new plastics!!! $295 front and rear shipped not bad.

[k00leo]

Where did you buy your plastics? I need to buy a set for my 250r build.

[the otha tri-z]

If you are still looking for white shrouds and filter cover DC plastics makes replicas. They look nice and I plan on ordering some myself. I emailed them and asked about coloring. The replied that they can make them in any color they have including white. Here's the link for the filter cover. You can find the other parts on their site. They also make front fenders. Unfortunately they won't ever be making headlight bezels or rear fenders.

Looking awesome!!!!!!!!

[Michwolv60]

i like your pegs man. Your going to have to do a write up on how hard it was to mod those to work. It looks really good man. I think you gotta swap your forks around tho, the one with the brake caliper mount should be on the other side.

they wernt to hard to modify some cutting, then welded up the holes and drilled new ones. but it does help that i work in a machine shop and have all the stuff to do it right. and yea i just noticed that when i was over there on the forks.lol they still have to come off anyways to put the new boots on and finish up the headlights.

[MTS]

Looks good!! Take it easy on them stock peg mounts with them big pegs they like to pull out and leave scars on mx tracks!!

close pic of that headlight guard.. i like that!! hey Keep a close eye on them foot pegs,, with them bigger Peg's,,,you will get a case of droopy pegs,, fast.. if you tend to use the outside of the peg...with out reinforcement..

[Remingtonsteel]

oh dont worry i did a lil R&D on some of your guys other builds:beer they have been redrilled reenforced welded and holes retaped for larger bolts hopefully they hold up if not back ti the drawing board.lol
