Finally got my R

[murphysadvocate]

hi guys, i'm new to the forum but not to three wheelin'. i have had my '84 200s for a little better than a year ( and i hafta keep up with a crew of 2 blasters, a banshee and a raptor 700, no problem in the woods, but in the whoops i get beat up), but i finally got a 250r. it5's the 1981 in my avatar pic, though currently it lays in a pile, completely dissasembled, the engine needs love, but is totaly workable, the frame is in nice shape (but getting stripped and painted), and best of all i only paye $280.00 for her, yeah she needs plastics, and i'm gonna have to find a swingarm bolt (we had to sawzall out the frozen up peice of crap that was in it, swinagrm wouldn't move up and down or front to back on the chain adjust slot) but in the time it takes to go thru the motor and everything else i sould either be able to find or fabricate on ( better start practicing my lathe working)

and at some point soon we are reassembling our KLT110 powered by a turboed (not kidding) Yanmar L60 (276cc diesel) currently coming out of paint (working on new plastics) this was my ride year before last (before i got the 200s) to r & d the diesel trike concept. you wont belive the looks and fuel econemy it gets

my 200s is a little unridable i gotta get a front tire and i'm not sure what it is...not stock for 200, later 250r wheel i think, but the tire came apart in croom a couple weeks ago ('s just about right idn't it)

what i can't find for the R i'll make ( my friend has a machine shop)

mainly the only thing about hte 81's is the rear drum brake (no big deal) and the three lug hubs, but other than that everything is out there!! I kinda had a soft spot for the fat tires air foolers, they look *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*'n when done right! you like riding croom?? BLAH!!! goto ocala!

[murphysadvocate]

croom is close and fun, but we are planning a run out to Ocala NF, i hear there are nice flat spots where you can really open up
