85 R Project

[BLAZERONE22]

I picked up a roller here locally a couple weeks ago, Well, I decided to hold off on the Tri Z since it was running good and fart around with the R, I tore it down and sent parts off to the powdercoaters, and last weekend picked up my motor. Well my parts are back, so here's a couple pics of my progress. I sure like the color of red.

Thanks for the info, that seems to be the going rate for most of the powdercoating shops, Im thinking after this season is over the Tecate is going to get an extreme makeover. So I am reading up now so I know what to expect!!! I also cant belive that that chrome looking stuff is actually powder coated on, thats awesome.

[Dammit!]

That looks damn good for powder chrome.

[hrc85250r]

wow, the local guy that builds choppers by me quoted me 100$ for powder coating the frame and swinger for my 85 R....30$/hr for stripping it....i think i might go with the powder chrome for my swinger and stuff, depends on what he has for colors and stuff....by the way, where did you get the prolink stickers on the swinger?

[Derrick Adams]

We used that style powdercoat on some Mustang brackets. It looks real good, but don't clean it with any heavy cleaners. It will dull out big time. Looks like gray when your done.

[Jeb]

That swingarm looks awesome with the red pro-link decals. good choice blazer!

I have never had that problem. As long as they put clear on it to you shouldn't have to worry about it.

Yeah, suprised me how shiney it looked when I picked it up. The prolink decals are for a CR, Seirra Designs made them up, great quality decal.

[toyota200x]

Truely AWESOME job. I always wish I could find a roller and fix it up. How did you find a motor for it?

[BLAZERONE22]

I had a want ad placed over on a local board and a guy with a trx motor responded, picked it up for 6 bills, not to bad, motor was still in the quad running great. I also picked up a custom pipe from him and a home made silencer, we have noise requirements here in Oreogn we have to meet.

[BLAZERONE22]

Well, I got it rolling this week, I think its coming out pretty good. I cut the chain for it last night and installed a new exhaust flange, and mounted up the pipe. I lost my four tapered bolts for the rear sprocket though, if anyone has them pm me. I should of just ordered a 86 R sprocket.

Blazer...

I am sitting here just in awe of what you are doing. You are incredible man!! That R looks awesome.

You do work that I just outstanding.

[BIGCRIP28]

what kind of tires are those?

[Kintore]

pure beauty! I love the red and chrome scheme. Looks frickin amazing! I want to chrome my tri Z exhaust but all the chrome you did I want to chrome/powdercoat everything on mine!

[1984kxtTECATE]

what kind of tires are those?

They look like GBC Sand Devil's

[RideRed250R]

look like kendra dune runners with thos little ripples
adam

[BLAZERONE22]

Their some turbo cheapy paddles, I'm going to get some sandskate II's for it. their a better tire. probally on 10's. Headlight and front fender came from Skippy yesterday.

[1984kxtTECATE]

Get SandStars instead, cheaper and a better paddle. SMI Motor sport has sand skate 2's for $85 per paddle hope its a typo, Sand stars are 50-60 depending on the size you get.

[twgranger]

I love that pipe.

[RideRed250R]

sand stars weigh a ton get some skat trak edges for that puppy 10 paddles o yah! ** the man Blaze

I agree, about the Sandstars, they would be a good snow tire.lol I run the Skate 2's on the aircoolers and lovem.

[1984kxtTECATE]

We have sand skate 2's on the SX, it turns good but it needs more power to utalize the tire.

[toyota200x]

Blazer you have so many awesome trikes. That R is looking truely awesome.

[vartiak15]

what kinda pipe is that?

[X2guy]

Nice looking work Blazerone22. Your colours are the same as what I've got in mind. It's good to see the results ahead af time. I picked mine up last year for 700 Can$. I've got it totally stripped and ready to go to the powdercoater. They also do ceramic coating which also comes out like crome. Check them out at www.fireballcoatings.com.

p.s. How do you make the pics show up in the post w/o the thumbnail?

You link the picture instead of attach it. You upload the pictures to a host (I use snapfhish.com) site then copy the address of the picture and past it in your post with ____ around it.

I am in shock! That thing is beautiful! Love the look alike chrome and just everything about it.So much different than when you bought it as a roller and it should be. Very well done!
