[Husky250]

Great save my man!

[dezert250r]

its gonna be a great bike and great buy at that. here is a pic of the one i sold and only bought for a couple hundred buck but put alot more into it.

[gomer202]

That bike looks sharp
Mine sat for 5 years under a tree and the first pics are of it after Preasure washer and he saturated parting it out so I just bought the whole bike
Just waiting on a few parts and it should be rideable soon!
P.s did you get a chance to send the exhaust??

[thestud25]

Nice score Gomer! Let me know if you need the handle bars and clamps. I also have a front fender, but it will need a bracket or some stitching. It has a crack all the way across the middle.

[gomer202]

well this solves my parts problem!! no joke i found this in the garbage container so im set its got a couple of goodies to!! anybody ever seen a headlight guard with a rack on it not sure if its a honda thing because it looks like it was all built as one (all looks the same)and i got axle/hub extenders!! and a carb that is not stock and i know its a mikuni (not sure if i spelled it right) but it if you know what it is let me know.

[gomer202]

[dezert250r]

thats an awsome find man keep up the great work its coming along real nice cant wait to see it when its all done.

[350xx]

Why does the rear sprocket have 999999 teeth on it!? jeesh

[gomer202]

Why does the rear sprocket have 999999 teeth on it!? jeesh
Beats me that's the way I got it. It will have more torque and less top end so I'm assuming somebody used this for some kind of drag racing because it had quite a large carb on it to and extended hub/axle havent put the extenders on yet

[hillbilly 200x]

Man thats sweet you must be s%*tin horse shoes right now!!!!!!! :lol:

[coolpool]

OK, who throws out a 250R? Great rescue for both machines. The $100 unit is coming along nicely. Did you fire it up yet?

[tulsamike3434]

great buy keep us posted on the progress!

[gomer202]

Not yet I'm waiting on an exhaust don't have it yet but ad soon as I do I'll find out if it does

[gomer202]

hey guys i was wondering if i should put on these hub extenders the left side is with and right side is without i dont ride really tight trails so width shouldnt be a problem just these ones are broken so i might get some made each hub extender is 3inches each side
thew wheel isnt bolted but its just to give an idea

[350XJEDI]

:D I dont like the spacers ,makes handle differently, but some guys swear buy them and don't ride without so, you should try with and without and decide what feels right for you , but with them on does looks good!:cool:

[gomer202]

Well i finally got to fire this beast up i will take a better vid soon butvim on my android phone right now because my computer crashed but i was kinda excited to post something up. 3 kicks at frist time trying to start and now its 1 kick when its warm. Thanks again to dezert250r for the exhaust the thing is in great shape and i very much apretiate the help you gave me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwGHgJE7NMU

[bigworm626]

Gen 1 250R rule!! That's the trike that blew away the competition at Baja.

[gomer202]

Ya I have kinda had a soft spot for this year of the 250r

[gomer202]

well here is some pictures of it all together with new rear tires that i found in my attic :lol: 13706913707013707113707213707313707413707513707613 7077137078137080137081

[gomer202]

here is a before and after pics so you can get an idea of the change

BEFORE137091

[zainyD]

Great save! How much money do you have in it at this point? Have you had a chance to drive it for an extended period yet, or have you just got it running?

I'd try the spacers in the back and see how you like them.

[gomer202]

i have about $150-$200 into it but alot of elbow grease. i have only driven it up the street once but it runs really nice should be fine

[gomer202]

here is a better video than the last. not in complete darkness this time

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS1ilR00-tM&list=UU6ep0nwgNug0sWHRs9wXAXg&index=1&feature=plcp

[gomer202]

and notice the perfect smoke rings out the back i think its kinda funny

[gomer202]

142145 done other thab front fender but i wanted to post a pic :)

[three_wheelin45]

another route for getn some width in the rear end and not buying extenders, try some 400ex hubs, I use 400ex hubs on my 82 250r and my 87 200x ;)

[atc300r]

I know the Mugen kit came with a solid rear sprocket.Im not sure if you parts machine rear sprocket is a mugen or not. But it is solid .The holes drilled in the front fender is also a mugen mod.Can you measure up that piston.Mugen 360 was like 82 mill or so.

[gomer202]

Will have a look tonight

[stoshu]

I have an extended swingarm that would look good on there. Let me know next time you come to Winnipeg. I'm in it for $200 after new bearings and seals.

[JasonB]

looks great! finding another 1st gen R in the trash was fate lol

[gomer202]

Here the final pic of the bike finished hope you like it 142215142215
