The GREATEST 1984 Honda 250R deal to grace the earth.

[Huffa]

It has loads of extras on it and WITH it and I will post just pic's of the trike 1st then all the EXTRAS that came with it.

See what you guys can pic out that is aftermarket & Hondaline.

This definitly rates up there as one of the best ATC deals of any model, PERIOD! (I think anyway)

I just can't believe it myself yet that I actually have it AT HOME !!

It looks a bit nicer in the pic's then it really is but all and all it's a good solid, VERY SOLID piece of machinery. It still has the original tires on yet but are definitly at the replacement stage with rear being worn more then the front. The guy ran snowies on for the winter and I got them with it also.

Look close at the motor, what do you see?

Once I post everything (I have to sort it all out) I'll tell you what I paid for it.

[Kintore]

NICE!

that things mint! Even got the whole fairing, thats sweet.

[SYKO]

deffinitly got some stuf on it!! im not a big fan of the fairings, but its aight, nice 300 cyle on it to! and I like the stablizer as well!

[BigReds Forever]

wow, look really sweet. Id like to see some more pics of that stabilizer set up. how does it seam to work? I have a very stabilizer but mine might be to long to do that with

[slothminx]

300 kit, steering damper, hondaline fairing, fender extenders?, some kind of pipe.


Looks VERY nice! Nice find huffa!

[Huffa]

More pic's .............

[chris200x]

:eek: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

[Huffa]

Just wait guys till you see ALL the parts, give me a 1/2 hour or so, be back!

[edog]

Nice find!!!!!!!!!

Need better pics of that Front Fork Stabilizer?

[mean350]

i got one of those stabilizer on my 350x when i bought it. it has a modified motor mount and bolts on the lower steering stem with the fender bolts.

[slothminx]

Looks like an 85/86 R shock too

[Huffa]

Nice find!!!!!!!!!

Need better pics of that Front Fork Stabilizer?

I got another one with it. I did not take my tank off yet but I don't think this bracket is to the R though? Maybe it's to 200X edog ? :naughty:

I can give you better close up's of the one on the R in the future if you like?

[Huffa]

Overall view of parts I got with it. The fairing you see on the R is not any of the ones in pictures, these are extras + I have the one that I just won a few weeks ago.

Check out the sealed 300 directions and the box, I love stuff like that!

What you see there is another 300 cylinder & head + the stock 250 one.

I think he said the 300 one needs a sleeve as it has a gouge in it. Not sure if you can do that or not?

This machine is a one owner jobber and the guy is a Honda mechanic. Has 3-5 hours on the 300 cylinder that is on it now.

[BigReds Forever]

cool, could you measure that stabilizer center hole to center hole? with the ram in, and out?

[chris200x]

Man... too bad you didn't have that yesterday for Brapp's ride. I bet that fairing would of helped keep the cold air off your hands on those long rode rides. ;)

what are those? :wondering

[hutin' unit200m]

That fairing is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you made my day.:Bounce

[dizasterzrfun69]

alright spill the beans...how much was it? im very very jealous. I may have 2 84 R's and one 300 kit but NOTHING like that. IM very very jealous :rolleyes: :lol: godd deal no matter what you paid for it. :w00t:

Kevin

[Huffa]

That fairing is AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you made my day.:Bounce

That is how I found the R !! I won a brand new fairing on ebay realizing that I don't even have a trike to put it on and figured someday I will.

4 days later I walk in to a Honda shop with it to see if they just so happen to have any brackets and the owner tells me that Gary has an R with one on it and two spares also.

One thing led to another and a week later (today) I not only got the bracket but a whole freakin R ! :lol:

[dizasterzrfun69]

hey if you wanna sell one of those 2 rubber hoses in the plastic bag let me know. Mine is shrunk and so it wont reach from the airbox to frame, or maybe its airbox to carb? i cant remember which one i need.

[Huffa]

cool, could you measure that stabilizer center hole to center hole? with the ram in, and out?

Will do..........you simply mean with the shock extended and collapsed, correct?

Not sure what you mean by the CENTER holes?

[Huffa]

alright spill the beans...how much was it? im very very jealous. I may have 2 84 R's and one 300 kit but NOTHING like that. IM very very jealous :rolleyes: :lol: godd deal no matter what you paid for it. :w00t:

Kevin

Don't worry, I will reveal how much, I just want to let it ride for a while though.

There is no way, and I'm positive about this, that I will ever comes across a deal like this again. I really do mean it is ONE OF THE BEST DEALS I have seen, no exaggerating at all.

Chris200X asked about these below, did you ever see a R with them on? I think they are very unique for sure!

[tyman]

i'm so jealous right now it isn't even funny... and all those parts!!! and the 300 kits.... thats so insane... anyone wanna venture a guess on what all that stuff is worth??? and i'm interested in what those shrouds are for...

[ATC-Eric]

Good find Huffa!!

The yamaha dealer up the street used to be "The Tri-Z Guy" back in the day Im told. I am tempted to see if he has any old machines around. With the recent Tiger find, and now this, Im going to start hitting all sorts of old dealers.

[smyers33]

... Are those super scoops for the 83 and 84??? Thats awesome!!!! The # plate is awesome too!!! Definataly got to send the shrouds to Aussiduner so I can get some too!!! HOW MUCH!!!!!!!

[Huffa]

Man... too bad you didn't have that yesterday for Brapp's ride. I bet that fairing would of helped keep the cold air off your hands on those long rode rides. ;)



Yea, they would of worked great but then for tighter trails I hate to have that fairing on. The one on it now has 2 cracks that he glue gun repaired.

I think it's only good for certain situations (frozen lake riding, out in the desert) and others (most others :lol: ) it would suck and you just end up busting it up.

I do have two good ones now, so that's cool! :naughty:

[Huffa]

Thanks! It's a excellent find and I wasn't even looking! :lol:

You just do that, see what you can find! :beer

[Huffa]

Tyman, Smeyers & Chris, here is a pic of the scoop, the pictures should naturally explain what they do ...........

What I will do is email Maiers and ask them if they would be interested in making some if I send them mine to copy, of course I'd demand a free set also if they would carry through on my suggestion.

Am I the only one that has these? Hmmmm, supply & demand :naughty: $ :naughty: $$ :naughty: $$$ :naughty: $$$$ :lol:]

Next a list of what all is on the 300.

[Huffa]

300 kit, steering damper, hondaline fairing, fender extenders?, some kind of pipe.


Looks VERY nice! Nice find huffa!

Yep to all, I'll get the full list, coming right up.

[chris200x]

You know Huffa.. aussieduner here on the boards is reproducing alot of our discontinued plastic parts. ;)

The other scoops look like 200x super scoops to me... Do they bolt to the tank ok? (the other scoops in the pics)

[blue27]

Nice Find, what a great load of old school stuff.

We made stabilzers for quads back in the day using a volkswagon stablizer but I can not remeber which on. We just welded a heim joint to the end and made a bottom bracket.

I saw an add for those super scoops in one of the ATV News mags I got , but I currently loaned them out so when I get them back I will shoot you a scan , can't remeber who made them. Are yours Maier?

PS love the old school decals

[Huffa]

Oh really, that's good to know, I'll get in touch with him.

Your scoop ? ...........You may be right as they don't fit mine. So they are rare too? I'll give ya a better pic.

I have no idea what they are but suspect they are Maiers.

I like the decals too, it's a major decision if I want to take them off or not.

I'll leave them on for now though, for quite a while that is.

[slothminx]

So Huffa, I think its time to share the price or this setup, Pm me if you dont want to go public yet :lol:

[SYKO]

hey huffa, I would sugest sending a set of those fork ari deflectors to ausi duner and also I think you have a set of rare super scoops for the air foolers as well, all that wuld be awesome if he can reproduce that for the masses, becouse I would really like to have a set of both for my 83!

[Huffa]

So Huffa, I think its time to share the price or this setup, Pm me if you dont want to go public yet :lol:

OK, I think I hear the drum roll anyway :lol:

Make sure your sitting down!!

A .................................................. ......




















1000 bucks !!! :Bounce

[edog]

I got another one with it. I did not take my tank off yet but I don't think this bracket is to the R though? Maybe it's to 200X edog ? :naughty:

I can give you better close up's of the one on the R in the future if you like?Those pics would be great.:w00t:

Doe's the Stabilizer Piston compress and then come back out?

I new it had to be that low.:w00t:

[Huffa]

I can see why you don't know whether to wind your arse or scratch your watch Huffa ,,, heck we are as excited for you as you are !
If you call Maier ,,, ask for Jeff (production Mng. or general Mng (I think is his position). He just went to bat for me (huge big) on running a T-3 fender in red for me to match the next to last set of T-3 red fenders they will produce.
Of course ,,, Aussie is awesome too. Nothing like doing business with one of our own.

Again ,,, GREAT reading and glad you shared it with us Huffa !

john

Hey thanks John, I'll try both parties I guess?

Maybe I should ask how many would buy such a thing 1st though? I think they are nice but maybe others would have no interest in them?

[slothminx]

oisgyufnamc,

Its hard to type when your falling from your chair :lol:


I hope youve had a few celebratery :beer: What a great find! Proves these deals are still out there.

Glad it went to someone whose going to look after it properly ;)

[Huffa]

Those pics would be great.:w00t:

Doe's the Stabilizer Piston compress and then come back out?

Nope, you have to pull it out.

Sure you did :lol: Come on edog, you would of said so if you did. :rolleyes:

Thanks Slothminx.

To the day it's 23 years and 1 month old. He gave me the official Honda warranty card (still under warranty I guess) with the date on it. His name is Gary, mines Gary.

It's funny though, he worked on a cycle I had well over 20 years ago and I had an issue with him pertaining to the work he did. Been so long ago I could not begin to remember what bike, what the issue was or anything and now 20-25 years later I end up buying his machine! Good guy that Gary ! :beer :lol:

[firefirefire90]

HOOOOOOWEEEEE!


That is one NICE trike right there!

SWEET BASSANI PIPE(i'm first to notice it, 300R kit as a prize? :naughty:)

So many parts. You ripped the guy off for 1000. Oh well his loss right? So spill the beans, is this thing fast or what?!

[Orangecnty250r]

Sweet Find.....See you have the 300kit box.....you are going to become become a box man :beer

[Huffa]

wow, look really sweet. Id like to see some more pics of that stabilizer set up. how does it seam to work? I have a very stabilizer but mine might be to long to do that with

I really only rode it 5 minutes, the rest of the day I just keep staring at it, then come back in to talk to you guys, then go out and stare at it again, fiddle with this, fiddle with that, then talk to you guys again :lol: :lol:

I'm going back out again now for a bit. got to check something out, be back :lol:

[Huffa]

You know Huffa.. aussieduner here on the boards is reproducing alot of our discontinued plastic parts. ;)

The other scoops look like 200x super scoops to me... Do they bolt to the tank ok? (the other scoops in the pics)

One more thing ........So are they pretty rare then?

[smyers33]

Do those scoops bolt up to the tank? If so post some pics, they should look sweet!

[Chevy200s]

Awesome deal man!!!! You freakin stole it for 1000 bucks though, dang. Just wanted to chime in, I would also be interested in a set of reproduction super scoops or those other shrouds if you had them remade. great deal man, let us know how it rides!:beer :w00t:

[Bryan Raffa]

DUDE!!!!! WTF! Wonder why you had to leave!!!!! I knew you had something up your sleave by the way you were talkin...BUT DAM thats off the Hook!!!
congrats on that for shure!

[chris200x]

DUDE!!!!! WTF! Wonder why you had to leave!!!!! I knew you had something up your sleave by the way you were talkin...BUT DAM thats off the Hook!!!
congrats on that for shure!

LOL... I knew about this for a while now... Man I had a hard time keeping my trap shut. :lol: I think I'm more excited than gary at this point. Now get over to the local riding forum and start posting some pics!!! :D

Gary.. I never seen those brackets on the scoops like that?? Go see if they bolt on. :w00t:

[Huffa]

Thanks Bryan !

I knew you would understand once I posted.

"Way off the hook", I like that saying :lol:

Also .........This is a compliment to you Z guys. I'm not sure if it's true because I never rode a Z but the R sure looks more top heavy and boatier to me then the Z for sure and that's mainly because of your TANK BEING UNDER THE SEAT.

I would suspect that the Tri feels more fkickable for sure! The metal gas tank gives a classier look though I think, shiny metal turns me on :lol:

[Huffa]

LOL... I knew about this for a while now... Man I had a hard time keeping my trap shut. :lol: I think I'm more excited than gary at this point. Now get over to the local riding forum and start posting some pics!!! :D

Gary.. I never seen those brackets on the scoops like that?? Go see if they bolt on. :w00t:

Those are not for my model BUT think you could make them fit, I think the holes line up perfect but it does not quite follow the tank/scoopp outline perfect.

I'll bolt one on, just for the heck of it.

[edog]

Well have you rode it yet?

Scared aren't you?lol

[Bryan Raffa]

chris... thats just wrong!!!! how could you? not even a clue or nothing....

Man huffa im a yami man..but i just cant stop lookin at that!!!! at least the lighting bolts on the fender remind me of Hurracane Hanna..LOL

[Huffa]

Well have you rode it yet?

Scared aren't you?lol

YEP, I rode it, it's fast, very fast but quite honestly no where near as fast as my CRF 450R, not even close

It IS less controllable though, that's for sure!

Check out the tires/wheels with hubs I got with it :naughty:

[Huffa]

The STUFF it has.........on it now

1) fairing

2) DG pipe & silencer

3) front brake resivoir guard

4) SS F & R brake lines

5) Tri Max Bog Buddies rear fender extentions ........never saw them before ??

6) A giant 36MM Mikuni carb with Boyesen reeds - stock carb is a 30MM kiehem That's quite a drastic, is that normal to go that high? I guess maybe with the 300 kit?

7) 300 kit

8) Super duper high output stator for a brighter headlight + a 200X rectifier (I think)on lower triple clamp so you don't blow a bulb

9) Stabilzer

10 ) old school stickers :lol:

11) Answewr Handle bars that I don't like, seem too high for sure, maybe too wide too?

12 Twist grip throttle ........not sure if I like that or not?

I think that is about it as far as what's on it right now.

[Huffa]

chris... thats just wrong!!!! how could you? not even a clue or nothing....

Man huffa im a yami man..but i just cant stop lookin at that!!!! at least the lighting bolts on the fender remind me of Hurracane Hanna..LOL


:lol: :lol: :lol:

That's exactly what I said to him! :beer

I think they are and I hate to take them off but I like the plain look.

Like said before , I'll leave all the stickies on and if I do take them off, I'll try to save them. I did take the Boyesen ones off the motor side covers, that looked stupid.

Chris did well !! :w00t:

I was nervous (I REALLY WAS !!) someone would find out if I posted it before I had it and offer the guy double and at double, it's a steal!

The guy had a trailer hitch on it before I picked it up :lol: Guess he used it for yard work! :lol: :lol:

[dizasterzrfun69]

Chris200X asked about these below, did you ever see a R with them on? I think they are very unique for sure!


ive never seen them. pretty cool tho

[mike from long island]

very nice find huffa. now dont go and hurt yourself on those dangerous 3 wheel contraptions!!!! especally one that nice. you'll heal but the bike will never be the same. as a matter of fact,you better strap that bike to the wall too. and just look at it!!:D


great find though. i think many are going to call every dealer and ask if anyone there still rides and try to find the deal. take care of it now :beer

[firefirefire90]

Im pretty sure that is a bassani pipe...NOT DG.
And the 200x didn't have a Rectifyer(SP?)

Cool stuff BTW. Any chance of narkin that stabilizer off ya? :welcome:

[Huffa]

Im pretty sure that is a bassani pipe...NOT DG.

For sure the muffler is DG, owner said pipe was as well.

Why do you think it's a bassani pipe? It's possible he's wrong but how do I tell?

[edog]

Dibssssssssss

[firefirefire90]

Becuase I had a bassani on my 81, and the welds are IDENTICAL. I'll see if I can get a picture up.

[Tri-ZNate]

So this was your big secret! Real Nice!

[firefirefire90]

Uh oh...I might have to retract my statement...I haven't seen my pipe in ages. The bottom welds as you can see in this picture:
http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=39703&d=1169402852

They looked very similar to the ones on this pipe. But then looking at the other pipe, they could be very different. I just noticed the bottom welds.

[jason85atc250r]

huffa that things in real nice shape? you'll have to bring it to a ride in the spring and we could do a shootout and see how it compares to a liqiuc cooled one. i'll bring my 85 250r

plus to let everybody else know Chris blabbed the details to me on the way up:lol: so i new about the dealings

[mike from long island]

you dont think the pipe is one of the big bore pipes another member is selling as well??? he had one on ebay. i am not sure if the auction ended yet. HMMMMMMMM

You mean the Mugan 360 pipes? Yeah...the top bit sorta looks like it.. but it deffinitely isnt a DG pipe. DG pipes stick WAY out.

[Brockey]

All I can say is WOW!!! That needs to be put in a glass box and looked at. Sweet deal man. Treat her good.

[Tri-ZNate]

is it possible its a phase 5 pipe? I see a decal there on the shroud.

[dufrain]

Those other tires are the optional factory pro wedge ohtsus arent they.

[BigReds Forever]

by measureing center to center i ment, form the center of one mounting hole to the center of the other mounting hole, in both position, compressed and extended. Sorry for the confusion.

[dizasterzrfun69]

hey i have that exact same headpipe on my 84 R I have yet to find out what it is. the R had a dg head and an answer silencer when i got it.......hmm

[Huffa]

Sweet Find.....See you have the 300kit box.....you are going to become become a box man :beer

OH man, I just love vintage boxes !! ............and the SEALED 300 kit directions too!

I'm afraid to open it! There goes 50 bucks out of my pocket because I opened the dumb plastic bag :lol:

That really is sort of ridiculous but that's the way collecting is. Some things, I imagine, collectors never even see the item(s) cause they never open them! :crazy:

[Huffa]

So this was your big secret! Real Nice!

Yea, i didn't mean it to be but like I posted before I had paranoia syndrome that someone would figure it out, where it is that is and steal it from me. I could not sleep too well at night till it was over with.

That BLABBER MOUTH, last time I tell him any secrets :lol:

For sure a shhotout, since you and me seem to be the only ones that like to dice it out! I wish we could of gone on longer, I was bummed when you had to stop :(

I just don't get it though, why is that, that no one likes to moto? Weird :crazy:

[Huffa]

by measureing center to center i ment, form the center of one mounting hole to the center of the other mounting hole, in both position, compressed and extended. Sorry for the confusion.

Fully extended = 15 & 1/2

Fully compressed = 11 & 1/2

I didn't measure it to the 1/16 of an inch, but that is darn close.

As far as shock travel, you have a good 3/4" to go with it compressed & extended so it (my other one) should work on other machines as well.

[Huffa]

Those other tires are the optional factory pro wedge ohtsus arent they.

10/4 on that !! :naughty: I'm afraid to use them! :rolleyes:

[Huffa]

edog, here are the pic's you want ...........

The shock/bracket assembly you see off the R is the one that is on it, I just took it off to see if it still had damping left in it yet and if it worked smoothly, it still does and flows nice yet.

[Tri-ZNate]

yep definatly a DG Nationals pipe

http://dgperf.com/ATV/ATVProductsDetail.asp?ATVProductID=297&model=ATC%20250R

that little TT track you set up was cool. due to the cold and ice and snow my brakes were sticking so that last time you were following me i could not use them. and my chain kept poping off it did it twice at the track.

when i was chasing you they stuck on at the one corner at the far end.i almost took you out in that one i was i inch or so from hitting the side of your rear tire going for the pass.

it never popped the last time i rode it at Chris's ride. i guess that cheap non oring chaion is shot already due to the monsterous 13 horsepower of the auto x.:lol:

raffas almost wreck was pretty cool looking. it was a good save.

[Bryan Raffa]

hey huffa you can still get pro wedges,All day long brand new. I got pw2's on the 490, There pretty plentyful!

[TravEX]

Sweet find Huffa!

[smyers33]

Have you tried to put those super scoop looking shrouds on yet? I'm really interested to see what it looks like!!!.... And if you wanna sell a 300cc kit, I'm the one to call! lol:)

[brapp]

hey man sweet find and it was a steal. next time i am in slatington woudl u mind if i stoped by and took a look at it sometime ?

[Huffa]

Hmmm, I thought Chris & a few others told me they were not made any more?

I'm confused?

[Huffa]

yep definatly a DG Nationals pipe

http://dgperf.com/ATV/ATVProductsDetail.asp?ATVProductID=297&model=ATC%20250R


Thanks WP, the guy insists too that it is a DG. I have 2 DG silincers so why would he not get a DG pipe as well, ya know.

[mike from long island]

Hmmm, I thought Chris & a few others told me they were not made any more?

I'm confused?


you can not get the pro wedges. they make pro wedges 2 now. somehow they are a little different. i was selling a set of pro wedges on ebay. everyone wanted to know if the were just pro wedges and not the pro wedge 2

which ones do you have? it will have a numeral 2 after the pro wedge word.

[Bryan Raffa]

theres still plenty out there as far as pro wedge 1's witch he has, it's the pro wedge with the reinforced rings in the sidewalls and thicker bars are the ones that are no longer and really hard to find!...And ohtsu is out of business so there is no more being made,but there out there, just got to know where to get them.

first pic is the prowedge,second is prowedge 1 and then the pw2's AHHH the evolution of the prowedge:lol:

[Huffa]

theres still plenty out there as far as pro wedge 1's witch he has, it's the pro wedge with the reinforced rings in the sidewalls and thicker bars are the ones that are no longer and really hard to find!

Thanks Raffa, I didn't know any of that.

So do these (all you mentioned) work good in snow AND sand?

[the great gazoo]

Just jumping in here, a bit late, but OMG that's a sweet rig, Huffa! Are you bringing it to the to work weekend at Brapp's? OOOOOH, me likey................

[Bryan Raffa]

oh yes!!!! and loose pack dirt..Use them at trike fest on the drag strip!! and at the dunes when we go...LOL

[smyers33]

I like those too but what exactly do they do... My guess would be that it directs air throgh the 2 things in the frame that go to the airbox.... am I close? But these are the ones I was wanting to see mounted. Thanks

[chris200x]

You mean these?

Is it just me... OR do those shrouds look to be designed speifically for use with the fairing. Just thinking out loud here (mostly because I've never seen those) but the fairing would block air into the vents??? Anyone have some info on these? old mag articles or whatnot?? :wondering

Gazoo... that avatar is freakin killin me.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :w00t:

I was thinking that too... And how ugly they would be without the fairing.. lol

[SYKO]

hell I want them!! I think they may look killer!

Those are for a 200 X I think, they almost fit the R, the holes are very close but the shape just does not flow right.

They have brackets on them too.

I'll post a 200X thread on this. So you guys never saw these and if not, that's cool! :beer I'll keep them till I get a X someday !

[smyers33]

Ehhhhhh your right they do look a little awkward.... But... I might get me a set and trim them up a bit and see what happens! Thank you so much for posting that...

ps-sell me a 300 kit. :)

I was tring to find who asked me that before, must of been you.

I'll think about it but I love having these type items all over the place in my garage just to check out once in a while.

Honestly though, I'm not sure if the cyclinder can be resleeved or not? I would assume so? I don't have a piston for the kit though, just the cylinder & head.

Makes me wonder why the guy had a 2nd kit though? I'll bet he bought them dirt cheap being that he works at a Honda shop!

The R and I thank you for the compliment!

If there is a TRACK to ride on, maybe I will but for the trails I'd rather ride my SX.

I mainly am saving it for Dunes only and out at www.rocketraceway.com to practice on.

I know Jason would just love it out there, I mentioned it a good year ago i'll bet and never got my arse out there! :rolleyes:

i was out there once a couple weeks after they opened. we should get a group to go there and breezewood proving grounds

real nice find and a great deal ..

HOLD ON !!!

They look pretty nice after all, after I saw a pic of Chris's on the 200X thread I posted about them, I discovered I had the wrong side on :lol: No wonder they look stupid !!

Depending which hole you put a bolt in the other one is off by a bit.

I'll post pic's of both sides when I get home today.

[Huffa]

For sure Jason :beer

That is where the R's, Z's & Teacate's belong and I'm pretty sure the only place where mine will ever go. My attitude would be different if it was a beater R and for sure this one is not but even then, if it was, I'd rather have a 4 stroke for trail riding.

[Huffa]

Here ya go smeyers .........

I guess you wouldn't use both super scoops and the fork mount scoops together as that just seems like overkill to me.

The R scoop fitment is poor while the L don't look too bad but on my R the DG pipe rubs on it which will melt the plastic for sure.

The L scoop bolts right on while the R scoop is off just a smidgen 1/4" or so and I could only get one bolt on.

I'm not sure if I even like the fork mount scoops? May just hang them on the wall and never use them although it is cool to have a item on that no one else has but if it's geeky looking then what's the point, ya know?

Funtion wise you can see they are not a gimmick though from the front view pic.

I would not use these 200 X scoops on an R and want ones that fit perfect but this at least gives you an idea. :beer

BTW, the whole fairing (not bracket assembly for fairing) comes off with just two bolts and two screws, takes only a few minutes. I thought there was more to it then that. Quite simple. I really do like it with the fairing on though, looks like some sort of beach patrol trike, they should have used this R set up with fairing on Baywatch! :beer

[edog]

Those are cool looking on there.Never seen those on a Air Fooler.

[Huffa]

The fork tube ones your talking?

If so, they need to be a satin black as there is way to much red up there. They would look good with the fork boots then. I like red, but too much of it gets :drool:

[edog]

No.....the Air Scoops.

Those scoops are not for the 200X.The distance between the screw holes is to short.

[edog]

What does it look like now?

[Huffa]

No resemblance what so ever to those pics nor any other R.

Thanks for asking, will be posted when done .

A new swingarm buffer has been a major hold up to putting whole rear end back together since you can't get them anymore. One is being made, hopefully, as I speak.

[mike from long island]

Hows the front fender on your 250r? I have a brand new in the package NOS OEm Honda front fender for the 83-84 model.....:D I bought it off ebay in hopes it was for the 81-82 250r.But it is not.I am going to list it on ebay after the holiday,make me an offer and it could be yours if your interested.Later

Hmmm, interesting, I have a 86 OEM used one on it now but still do like the smooth clean look of the 84 also, I'll give this some serious thought Miike and get back to you.

Thank you !

[mike from long island]

Sounds good,you were the first person I thought of when I realized the fender wasnt an 81-82.I figured in your anal ways ( HEHE :D ) you would love to get your hands on an NOS fender. It isnt going anywhere anytime soon. LAter Mike

I'll leave you know in the next few days Mike, now if you had a nice swingarm buffer :eek: oh my god!!!, I'd pay top buck for it !!!

That is one heck of a hard part to find that is "healthy" any more!

I pray that the one being made goes as planned and everything works out but just in case it doesn't, that's why I keep asking about them.

So the 84 OEM fender is N/A anymore, correct ?

[mike from long island]

As far as the parts fiche go,it states unavaliable.It was $80 bucks when you could buy it.Ill keep my eyes open for the chain buffer.

[chris200x]

How bout some updates on this rebuild buddy. I'm dyin here. :drool: :D

So a simple chain buffer is the only thing holding you up? Last time I checked it was the stuck bolts in the triple trees. ever get that figured out? I thought all this trike needed was to be regeared and some axle bearings? what happened? :naughty:

I'm not too familiar with these air cooler sliders... but couldn't you just get a strip of nylon,, heat it a bit and bend and mount it around the end of the swinger? :wondering What I'm thinkin here is are you familiar with the nylon rails on the bottom of the old school skateboards? wouldn't something similiar to this work? just drill some new holes and mount it to the swinger. WALAA!

Post a pic of this slider so we can help you look for something close or similiar that may work? There's gotta be something close off another bike or quad. your not absolutly stuck on having OEM are you?

[Bryan Raffa]

yes he is...:D

[oldskool83]

dont even waist your time with a stock one...just get a new one off a quad and weld new mounts on...so simple it should of been done by now.

[SWIGIN]

word





iv had lt 250r slides fit everything i ever tryed them on.... and they are like $20 new from suzuki

The triple tree was done long ago, I got another one and painted it up.

The All Balls bearing kit you turned me on to Chris worked great, then I painted the swinger up.

The slider is being made by Jason Hall and no, a OEM is out of the question Chris because you can't get them new anymore and certainly most all are well worn by now.

I did post pic's of the slider on page two here

http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/showthread.php?t=74989 ....you muct have missed this post I guess ?

It's just not that simple guys to JUST mount any piece of material up being that the swingarm is not perfectly flat, i say have one built to fit right, then other members don't have to go thru this ordeal figuring out what to do as they will be available then as long as the construction goes OK with Jason and he wants to make more.

[Chopper_Kingpin]

Anyone have a idea how much a fairing cost from the shop brand new when they came out?
