well it's done,and ridable.very minor things left to do.front brakes,and silicone the exhaust flange.i rode it around today.my god is it snappy.LOTS of tourqe,but falls down up top.i am sure thats because of the pipe.but for what i am gonna do.........perfect.this thing is just siick to ride.still scoots pretty good too,not quite as powerful as i expected,but it's alot faster then a 250r.well thanks for following the build,i'll use this thread for the break down,and rebuild.heres some pics as she sits right now.

it turned out great. if i didnt know it by looking closely, it still looks like a 250 engine in there. i would leave the 500r stickers off it for a sleeper out on the trail:naughty: then when they try to run it, BAM, gone, see ya!"its just a little 250r"!:lol:

i can't make the valley buddy.maybe next weekend.we still going parts huntin in the junk yard next weekend?hollar at me,i'll bring the new beater up!

it's not bad with the stock length swinger.wheelies really easy,but it.s not outta control.now it still needs jetted,but is really close.it's nice and clean,real crisp,but falls down up top.mainly because of the pipe.i think i'll stretch it eventually,but for now.......braaappppppp

lets see some progress!!! how is the ride and how do you like the kicker?

it's pretty wicked to ride with stock swinger.rather then break the tires loose,and just spin up hills when i work the clutch,it spins,and wheelies.it's gonna be an incredible hill climber.it carries alot of speed up the hill.power is no longer a problem.

also the vibs are not that bad.i am working on some custom tripples that will accept rubber mounted bar clamps,like a tri z.this should help alot for the vibration.

before the kicker broke it worked perfect.i could start it in a few kicks after it was warmed up.bump starting it alos alot easier then i was told,or assumed it would be.

the new pipe i bought off ebay arrived today.WOW,this thing is siick.it's huge.looks great,it has a few dent,and repais,but i don't care.right after the 1st of the year i will break it down,and pimp it out.hopefully i can get my stretch on,and my climb on.......eeerrrrrffffffff!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I rode that sucka,gobs of power.Jason did a real nice job sectioning that frame.
Hey Dogg, those tripples will really make it nice to ride.Are you gonna try that ice for the motor?I think once you get the ressy on there and the ice in it,it should be real cool for you.

Screw cleanin it, leave it as it is. Everybody makes them too dam pretty and then doesn't want to ride them. I'm always relieved when I scratch a new fender or dent a new exhaust. It's great to collect things but not for me, I wanna ride em. I let my buddy beat the snot outta my 87SX weekly and I could care less. That things a total sleeper just as it sits. Nice Job!
