Some of you may know that I have been working on putting together a missile bike over the last several months. This is a fat-cat style bike made from an '85 ATC250R. I acquired a missile swingarm kit from greenhuman awhile back. I am combining it with a parts chassis I picked up about 3 yrs ago, along with some other parts from ebay, a few people on this site, and other parts bikes I've had.
The frame was in perfect shape. I had it blasted and powdered. Same thing with the swinger. The motor I'm using is a tech-school '85 R motor that has never been fired. I thought about using a CR250 motor (with rearward kick) and fabbing up some mounts to make it work, but I haven't had as much free time as I'd like, and this motor came along.
Here's where I'm at right now. Frame and powdercoating are all done. Still need a few bolts and spacers to mount the rear shock in place. I'm currently rebuilding the forks, but I rean into trouble this past week, when I noticed that one of the chrome fork tubes had a bad nick in it and is no good! No sweat, a fellow member is gonna help me out. Just another setback. Seems like everytime I get going on something, I need a stupid little part that nobody seems to have:lol:
Anyway, check out the pics so far, I'll update the thread from time to time. Anybody else have one of these bikes??
