[Orangecnty250r]

Nice Job!!! That video Rocks...gets the blood pumping for sure!!!

[chris200x]

I kinda liked that yellow.... LOL :w00t:

[firehart]

How'd you like to restore my 200x?

[deathman53]

now you need a nickolson frame to top it all off. I also would use a omf seat latch instead of the stock thing(yes, omf makes a seat latch for 85/86 atc250r). Mine also has a aluminium airbox too, another real hard to find item. You bought alot of new parts and did nice job. I myself bought black plastic, black short track tank, and black shrouds, this on top of whats on it already.

Thanks guys! I'm very pleased with the way it came out. It's as NOS as it will ever get. I tried to stick to as much OEM or HRC Honda as possible except the motor. Such a shame to go out and race it again, but that's what I own it for. I can't wait to try it out with the -1 swinger on it. It should be crazy with the 330 pushing it.

Thanks for the positive comments on the video. Too bad I had to compress it to make it fit on the internet. The version on my computer is crystal clear. It didn't take long to put it together. I started working on it yesterday and finished this morning. I will try to make more with other bikes and post them when I can.

Thanks again everyone.

Oh, I liked the yellow too, but I see too many custom bikes today. I have never come across a super mint HRCR so I went back to the stock look.

Cheers!

This will be my entry to the calendar or trike of the month. I hope to get the centerfold after Kasey's sick ATC70. He still gets my vote for coolness factor and originality.

By the way I can't spell for the life of me. There is a typo in the video, but didn't notice it until after I posted it. I will fix it, but not today. I was more worried about the flow and framing of the scenes and pics.....hey it's the first video I made and I probably had too many beers when I did it.

[r00sty]

You never cease to amaze me Chris, I'm ready to sell off and go find another R, so quit it would ya!!! Great job man.... :beer
