Bike looks sweet, im 99% done with the same replica just need that keyed ignition, I now see who kept out bidding me on ebay haha. No disrespect but am I wrong or is the front caliper wrong ( thought it was smooth no cooling fin's) and shroud stickers and front and rear fender stickers are 86 as well not 87? Hey fmndr where did you get that style red fork boot 85 mtx 200? also im still waiting on my rear "R" decals where did you get yours made any chance of getting more?

FMNRD is no longer on here. You will have to ask him questions through Ebay.

frank reproduces his own stickers/decals

[R-tifacts]

thank you any idea what his ebay name or e mail is?

[thestud25]

He is the one selling the replica 87 R that is linked in the first post of this thread. Let me know if you can't get a hold of him and I will call him.

Destra is still active on A i r f o o l e r . c o m, Link to his section on that website (http://airfoolers.com/forum/index.php?board=26.0)

There was so much drama about his past dealings with a known trike scammer, I didn't really pay attention to the end of it. A lot of people vouch for him being a decent guy though. It's too bad he isn't on 3ww anymore. The whole drama between websites puts a sour taste in my mouth as well. :rolleyes:

[dcreel]

His name is Frank Destra. He is one hell of a guy who will bend over backwards to help you out. Here is his e-mail off of the Ebay auction. FMNRD@AOL.COM

[Xpress]

He's also on 3WO...

[Chazz of Blades]

4th on the whole Frank Destra is awesome bandwagon.

[k00leo]

Now that is a nice looking bike

[Jerm1179]

Destra and the "well known scammer" are 2 different people......both named frank both from cali.....big deal....he makes awesome stickers...he even whipped up some high temp Bassani stickers for me a few weeks ago...great guy to deal with

[R-tifacts]

Yep Destra e mailed me back within minutes from his phone, seems like a good guy, mailed out the stickers next day and even offered other help. Will let ya'll know if it turns sour but so far so good.

Just to let you guys know, I looked through all of Frank's shipping receipts while he was at the ride. That folder was 2" thick. I even verified his ID. He's an honest seller and his rep is outstanding.
The way I see it is like this: I have a cousin that in in Georgia State pen for GTA, I keep in contact with him because he's family and a childhood friend. I do not condone his actions. Does that make me a car thief too?

[Slingblade]

That is a really good looking R. And Frank is a super guy to deal with. It really is too bad he is no longer here, I think he was an asset to the forum.

[mudbogger]

Seems cheap currently for a hard to find replica of a 87? Am I not reading it correctly? I would think the seller would have a pretty good reserve set.

You're just not used to seeing 250R auctions with realistic and reasonable pricing.

You're just not used to seeing 250R auctions with realistic and reasonable pricing.

Well said

refreshing change too on the price

[bkm]

It helps to have an honest seller who doesn't shill bid the hell out of his auctions. This is what really happens when your other accounts or buddies don't bid on your items.

Here's the thing I don't get - user tundrawillie rips several people off and is still a member, Team red rider rips people off gets banned then is allowed to come back under a different name - 0gravity or something - only to get banned again, but this Destra guy gets banned for what?? Knowing a bad guy? Seriously? What am I missing? There has to be something else to it.

[hang&rattle]

My son Onnie and myself being buddies with Frank doesn't link us to the bad Frank, does it?, lol. & I hope some of my friends on facebook ain't connected to 3-wheeler crimes, lol. Anyhow, Frank sent Onnie 200x parts to be nice, just trying to help the little fella out, gifts, so that's pretty cool in my book. & ya, 200x350xtriz250, I've paid upstanding members on 3WW for products 3 months ago and haven't received them, I don't understand where the line is dawn, never been good at the politics in any aspect. But it's cool someone produced a replica, and even announced it so, as a tribute, but I tend to like the 86' color scheme better, cool someone did it though, great job Frankie!
