Are the OEM plastics still available for these?

[Russell 350X]

The 88-89's are the best lookin TRX250R made IMO, very sharp looking.

87 TRX in MECCA........Glamis

[Mosh]

Well,not a second gen TRX.And these are from a year ago.But a R is a R.
Honestly,I like the light on the bars.For night riding,you can turn the steering to look down a trail,and for racing,It can be removed fast so it doesnt get damaged.
I also prefer the steel longer swinger over the 88-89 aluminum swingers.

Ya, i know it's big. Just working with what i was given.:naughty:

King of big signatures that is.:lol:


The 86 is my second choice, but it would have to have red 88 plastic and the 88 motor, but still retain the gold swingarm and gold rims.

Edog, you looking for parts?, I have a swinger, axle, and shock for an 86 trx 250r.. shock is blown though

[Mosh]

Well it is a nice trike,if it was a pile,I would have deleted the pic from PB.

I cant recall,riding a 89 motor,but chances of getting a stock motor anymore will be hard.Both engines can be modded to run the same.
My 86 is Fast and it is stock bore now no porting, with V-force 2's and a PT type 6 pipe.I actually dont know why it runs so good.

This was my friends 89
I know you like the stocker type machines,but check this out....

89 LSR chassis and swinger
Elka 0 preloads all the way around
Trinity ported rebuilt 265cc (30 hours on it)
Pwk38 mil carb
Lrd Adjustable pipe
Durablue plus 4 axle
1 extra set of Razr trail tires on Douglas 190's all (brand new)
A box of extra parts
LRD steering stem
+2+1 A-arms
1 extra set of plastic.....
This thing ran.......Destroyed many built Shee's in drags and was a dream to ride on the MX tracks.

He sold it last year with all that stuff,For...........

You running the TRX 5 ESR pipe and muffler?

Tell me a little about it.
Got any more pics?

[chris200x]

If I ever was to buy one of those 4 wheeled things for myself. One of these would be at the top of the list.

I hear its pretty hard to find one thats still in stock trim. Either way it's probably one of the best quads ever made.

[jason85atc250r]

here is a pics of my 86 prp framed trx250r and my half a 250r quad. i have some pics saved from smith road race with the OTC but theres the stupid size limit on the site for pictures.

everything is aftermarket minus the motor related stuff and brakes parts. the frame is the very 1st Porter Race Products frame he biult for testing in 2000 to figure out how he wants to biuld the regular ones he makes. it has a 89 style and lenght HRE swingarm you get better acceleration out of corners with the shorter 89 swingarm

EDOG-------- the plastic is discontinued for the 88-89 trx250r's. since people raced them for so long they ran out of parts years ago.

[SCEADU]

The pipe is a FMF SST. The silencer is a "old school" answer. I want to get a lil quieter one in the spring. The engine is stock with Vforce reeds. Works shocks on the front reworked stock one on the rear. I am headed to the trails today and will get ya some more pics of it later. I found this one on Ebay this spring in Ebensburgh, PA. Emailed the guy and sent my brother down to pick it up for $2500. A few weeks later met my dad half way and brought it back to Atlanta.

[edog]

What is not oem?

[SCEADU]

Pipe ,seat ,bars, rad shroud, and front shocks form what can be seen in the pics. 38mm Aristryker , v-force reeds, Ricky Stator 200w, gusset kit (must have by the way) and skid plates.

[edog]

Are the motors black on the bottom and silver top ends from the factory?

[SCEADU]

All the ones I have seen are painted black blocks and Natural alluminum on the cylinder and head. When I tear mine down I am either going to paint it gun metal grey or polish it up a lil. Not to your standards. Jus a "LIL" I also want to paint the a-arms and push bar gun metal grey.

[SCEADU]

If you get one, the best upgrades that I have done for the money is the V-froce Reeds and 38mm Airstrykker. THe FMF pipe gave me good gains as well but I think Mosh would chime in here and tell you to go PTR for the best all around pipe. He has more experience so he would know. I can't tell you how much different the Works shocks have made because the stockers were worn out when I got the machine. I can tell you they are %100 better than worn out stockers tho ;}. I weigh in at 225 so I had the rear shock redone to a 210 rider and it works real well for me. the lil bumps are non existent and the big jumps botoom out jus a lil every now and again. As my confidence builds I may need to rethink the shocks. I love the stock tires. They work well for me. I like to be loose to and right now at %50 tread I think they are great. I just put a brand new set on my "Z" and they get a lil too much grab.

I posted the wrong link. Updated now.

[SCEADU]

I have not seen one of those mounted. It might be a duner thang tho. With no air box you deffinately don't want to splashing around in the mud. Oh wait a min. This is Doggy we are talking about. Sorry couldn't resist.

[jason85atc250r]

what brand name is the aftermarket plastic on your 88250r? it looks real close to the original.

those front will work better if you call Works and order the steel braided hoses and use the bottles from a 250r or 350x rear shock. thats what Works and PEP use for bottles if you get the adjustable ones.

EDOG for the best all around pipe you want either a paul turner mid range(like he said) or LRD mid range adjustable pipe. thats what i have on my 86 trx.. those 2 pipes are what all the pros used back in the 250r hayday so that has to tell you what ones are good. i had a bill's pipe and the LRD made a big difference over it.

[Mosh]

The OEM plastics are discontinued.But,Sometimes they show up NOS on the Bay if you want to spend around 1 grand for NOS plastic.

The best Pipes for the R are in no order

LRD adjustable
Sparks
ESR (Low to mid range pipe)
And the Paul turner type 6 if you want some good low end and mid hit.

All other pipes,make the R weak in the bottom end,but really build on the top.

I have ridden with FMF all models,LRD and the Paul turner type 6 my current set-up.
For trail riding,the PT pipe wins hands down.
I have not ran a ESR,but a few die hard R guys say the TRX 5 pipe is the shiznit too.
I heard A sparks motor set-up by him with his pipe was the dominate set-up.
A lot of people have said that about Sparks.

I will just add,that I traded my 96 Shee,which was just awesome for what I had it built for, for my R.
I love they way the R feels/handles,but it needs just a little more sack,to be perfect.
I plan on attacking that issue this spring......Cough Cough...Mr Hall.....

[SWIGIN]

[fla 2-stroke]

here is my 87 trx.bought this on ebay for $835.not the best looking but it screams and came with extra tires on beadlocks,extra frame with title and shoei helmet.

[Buster Brown]

Here ya go edog. I've got one of every year. The last picture is of an '89 and an '87 I'm currently restoring. The '87 is next to the '89 in the background, but wearing '86 decals, as not to be confused. The "Fourtrax" logo should be on the seat, and not on the front fender decals for the '87 model year. Enjoy!-Andy:D

Mine don't compare to Mr Browns but it is one of the nicest trx I've owned, 95% original its a 87 . engine has never been opened, runs good , feels close to new.

Hey lets see that black and white 250R trike right there...

[Itrike]

Sure as soon as its finished , its abought done . should have it going by the end of the week. I think the grab bar is one of youre's. It was on the 350x in the back ground I bought it from osolone ?? any way still need to putt the carb on and new pipe , custome front wheel , then tweek tweek tweek.

[bigpimpin]

yeah, would like to see pics of the black n white R, too

[Mosh]

Good call snaggin that one up Itrike.

If I had remotely had the cash I would have bought it in a heartbeat.

[Itrike]

yea I couldn't let it pass by , I had to sell off one of my 350x real quick to come up with the extra $$ but I still have one left. My only problem with it is I want to ride it but I want to keep it nice.

[Buster Brown]

Congrats, Itrike! That's the TRX that was posted here for sale, right? Good for you. That's a real sweet "survivor". Great score!! :beer

[Itrike]

Yes it is the one that was posted on here , It even came with a couple boxes of spare parts and a Hondaline cover. The guys son used to race these at one time so he gave me all the spares he hed left. This of course wasn't one they raced.

[Orangecnty250r]

Here's Mine

[jmack3986]

I Have a NOS Front hood For a 89 TRX250R it's in great shape to if anyone is interested. It even has the original sticker on it. Also have front shocks (stock) available. I won't ever use those parts in my life time so Psst me if you are interested.

I have a LRD and recently got a sparks MX becuase its supposed to be the best.. guess I'll find out...
