I believe the site is still being worked on. So it doesn't have the photos I'm looking for (tons of stock new bikes or restored bikes. factory brochures are ok but i need photos of bottom, top all aprts and stuff.). most of them are racing and performance stuff. I'm looking for a stock restore. only performance mods will be intneral stuff. I would not mind locating a hondaline performance exhaust for it either.

try bikepics.com. Saw a bunch of cool big red pics on there. They may have 82 250R

cool, thanks, i'll check it. I will be taking very detailed photos of this 250r build. every step of the way infact. any time any progress is made, i will be taking photos. The good thing is these photos can be used to help anyone else wanting to restore one.

Yeah - ummm - if you look at the vintage ad's and sales brouchure page you'll have more then just a starting point.

I mean the original paint scheme is pretty simple. And there really isnt a whole lot to restoring one to 'factory' - get the nuts and bolts and the few parts you need and paint it to spec. Done.

Also, look for a factory service manual and a clymer manual. Tons of pics in those.

thanks, Saul, yea I poked around. The borchures are cool. I was hoping for pics of parts new with hte factory markings so I could attempt to mimic them. (sometimes tehre's a slash of yellow, white, blue or red for what ever it meant to them on the lines during assembly)

the big thing is going to try to find newish looking nuts and bolts that look like the factory ones. (even new ones) i'll have to go visit a couple of bolt palces to see if they have some. I'll probebly buy enough to build 2-3 trieks because the same sizes were used across the entire board of all honda trikes. So having them would be a blessing!

I've already started on a list I have and started working on what stuff I need to work on.

Thanks for the help man! really do appreciate it.

Look on E-bay for a seller/ Store by the name of Pro Metric Fasteners, They have kits available for the Trikes that have the correct size and head on the bolts.
