Any idea what this is?

I stumbles upon this on ebay, and I have no idea what it is or what it does. Can anyone tell me what the missle kit is? Thanks

thats a conversion kit to make the 85-86 250r a 2wheeler, they look pretty good too.

It's a Missile Engineering 3 to 2 wheel kit.

mobular, why is that 250r in your pic a leading axle front end? the 250r was a trailing axle and the 350x was a leading. did they switch the forks from one side to the other? what side is the brake assembly on a R factory?

[CHAINSAW]

damn.. they are pretty proud of that thing aint they>?

and then some saw!!! did you notice the line "my loss is your gain", he only paid $1200 for it according to his description and wants $1299 BIN. theyre pretty cool, but not THAT cool. thats more than id pay for most 250Rs, let alone a kit to make it a dirtbike.

I wonder If that thing would fit on a 300ex frame? Also how hard would it be to build one of those kits?
If i can't take a wheel off the front i'll try to take one off the back to turn it into a three wheeler
:twisted:

someone on 3wheelerworldforums took a wheel off the back of a raptor.

Those are stock 250R forks. They turned them around for a longer wheel base. The brake on that picture is on the OPPOSITE side fo the stock 3 wheeler location.

That's me... This is a similiar swing arm design as mine, including jackshaft. But why anyone wouldn't just buy a used CR250 instead of this rig is beyond me...

Hey leagaleagle, was your Raptor in the mag? Wasn't it designed to be street legal?

[sportvette]

i think the missile kits are cool. you get a cr250 with fat tires! :-D

It was in the October issue of Dirtwheels, and it is street legal. I posted some pics from last week ends street ride here, check it out when you get a chance.
