1983 300r "RAILROADER" build

[rt_linn]

I picked up this 82 300r engine back in December, and I'm finally getting around to setting it in an 83 250r frame. The build is partially underway. It's not going to be anything crazy fancy, but thought I would share. More pics to come....

Burdick? I grew up not too far from there. Also you're wrong. It's a 300 engine so it IS special.

[rt_linn]

Yeah, I picked it up near there. I'm about an hour away or so. We will see how special it is when I get to riding it. :cool::cool:

Thought I would share an update... So upon completion I went for a test ride and everything checked out good that first day riding around the yard in low gears. Parked it that night, but the next day was another story... Went for a little longer ride and found out very quickly that there was no 5th gear! Just grinds as soon as you try to shift into fifth... I suppose now it's time to tear it all down again. :(
