i know it is dirty and dusty. I just finished and it is dark and cold. Tomorrow is the 1st ride and then i am redoing the front suspension. I have some progressive springs and 15wt oil for it.

Looks sleeper with the heat shield.:lol:

[Brockey]

Looks wicked. Go try out that machine.

[Billy Golightly]

Hey Basket, what year style pipe did you mod? It looks like one the later 89-01 styles?

[200x Basket]

it is a 87 FMF pipe

[Billy Golightly]

Really? Hmmm

[200x Basket]

i have one of the low slung pro circuits but i dit not think that i could make it work.

[ATC-Eric]

All I can do is shake my head at how COOL that thing is.


Good job man. That R is awesome!

[FPMXer]

The first few pic's I was wondering how you kicked that beast over with the rear kick. Then I saw the cool seat attachment and assuming you have to lift the seat to kick it right?!?!?!?!? That is a badazz trike though. Do your best to keep that front wheel on the ground.

[BigTBones]

That looks sick man! I think the heat shield is a great idea!

[NINJA]

SCHWING!!!!!! Nice job man. Yeah, definitely go with the heatshield.

[wad]

Looks like the engine was in it from new dude!!
Good job

[200x Basket]

that is the idea. i bought some oem boots for the front and oem bars. next i will pant the swinger gold and put some pro link stickers on it.

the 500r honda should have built :Bounce

[Eric250R]

All I can say is wow. I love it!!!!!!:beer

I like your ingenuity on the foot brake lever - slick.

What holds the front of your fenders down while riding?

[200x Basket]

well she is a runner. I put some OEM bars on it, OEM boots, progressive springs, 15wt shock oil, and gold rear rims. I have a gold front to go on but i have to get the tire mounted.

did i mention it was FAST :)

i took the two rubbrs that the original rear pins go through and put them in the top part. i then put two pins with a head on the on the frame. it is not a SOLID latch but it does not clop around. a latch would be easy to set up though.

the flipped brake lever makes it so i can get a full kick. i can kick start it cold in about 3 kicks and 1 when hot.

[Orangecnty250r]

Looks Great!!!!!

[evand]

man that thing looks slick! must go like a raped ape!!

shhhh dont say that too loud, im still playing the lottery :D

[JohnR.]

Very nice! Is that a standard kicker or is it modded to clear the frame? I did a ATC500R back in the early 90's but I never got it finished. Lost interest and sold it in 1995 to buy the 250R I have to this day. I always had trouble getting the kicker sorted out, we ended up modifying the frame. I think my 500 engine was out of an 85 though.

[200x Basket]

it is a modified 98 cr250 kicker.

[The Goat]

bump....just curious as to what frame mods were done to this one to fit the 500 in there?
