Vintage Motorsports 86 250R restoration is taking shape pics

[vintagemotorsports]

Hi guys,
well shes getting there slowley but surely , this is my personal bike so I only work on it between jobs and at night when I have free time which is rare thats why its taking so long to finish. well since the last pics I got my factory tires mounted up and look great , I installed the airbox and all rubber parts attached to it , I also put the N.O.S factory exhaust system on next is going to be the radiators then i can mount up the tank and shrouds. thanks for looking and if anyone needs any restoration work check out my site at www.vintagemotorsports.net or give a call in the shop at (508) 303 5085

Can I take it for a test ride through the mud? lmao j/k

That is one clean trike. I would be afraid to even ride it.

Looking good! That will be nice an clean when done. Now I just need to find the time to do a complete tear down.

hey howdy,
this is strickly a show bike for my collection , I have way to much money in to the bike to even think of riding it. I have plenty of other bikes i ride . most of the new parts on this bike have not been avalible through honda in years its going to be one of a kind

Very nice job,
I can see you've spent countless hours working on this trike and its really payed off.

I want to do a Resto job so bad because its so much fun and I have tons of time during the day to do a project like that. I just need to get my hands on a cheap old 250r,350x,200x or something like that. Right now I have a 200ES but I wouldn't even think of tearing it down---Its too complicated and compacted together, lol.

My, oh my! The things you can do with large amounts of time and money! Looks fantastic!

hey mike,
dont let your 200es scare you its really not that bad of a bike to do just think you have no swing arm, rear suspension and all that other stuff to deal with . I have an 84 200es for around the yard great bike built like a tank.

Hey,
Thanks for the encouragement, I see what your saying. But its my only ride so if I dug into it---I would be rideless for quite a time I believe. I just need a bike I can work on off to the side...I just can't find the money and the trike...hehe

Feelings mutual JohnR...why build something if your just gonna sit around and look at it...thats like marrying Cindy Crawford and just watching her cook dinner...heh

[JohnR.]

I hear you there Cartman. I can understand it, when I first finished that drag bike (now serving as flat tracker) I didn't want to ride it except out in Silver Lake Dunes and on the ice. Now I can hardly wait to go down into Southern New Jersey where there aren't so many rocks and ride that puppy. Up here where I live there are rocks on top of rocks so it would get bashed to pieces. I realized after last summer's dune trip that if it gets a little dirty or a lot dirty I am still going to tear it down to the frame at least once a year and clean every last nook and cranny and when I am done it'll look just as good as before. That is a nice "conversation piece" that vintage is building though, it sounds as if he is beginning a 3-wheeler museum for those of us on the east coast.

I am currentley building my new office for the business and I plan on having around 10 or so fully restored ATCs . its a great way to show your customers what you can do and its almost like a trophy room that a sports player would have all of my bikes so far that I have restored are bikes I rode and rode hard and its like there final resting place. I have been involved with 3 wheelers almost as long as they have been out and its neat to bring back the bikes of your past. more to come

[JohnR.]

That sounds awesome, what part of Mass are you located in? I would love to stop in and check it out sometime if I am up that way.
