Vintage 250r Racer Project

lookin good ,,, we'll have to get a pic yours and mine with calfab's at malvern.

Definitely Raffa .

When it comes to the CALFAB swingarm everyone has there own philosophy. Personally, i feel that it was made for racing and that it belongs on a track. You are correct Fabio, CRF stands for Crotch Rocket Factory.

Thanks, Matt

Didn't you know? CALFAB SUCKS!

Looking nasty R bud.

Easy on the Cal-Fab and don't let the family ride it

Those aluminum welds may look great but don't seem to stand up........

Hey,

glad to see your getting it setup for the outdoor season, thing is looking tits!

just a heads up, Those rear rims bend easy, even if they are red labels.
There just isnt enough tire there to absorb the impact. Some people have luck, but most of us have to run the BAJA style with the reinforcer ring to stop the taco'ing

That is one seriously nice looking R, Man one day I will own a liquid cooled R.

LOL, I was waiting for that comment DC and I havent put a fuel line on it partially for that reason. I plan on racing this bike this season and then semi-retiring it in lieu of switching to a modern trike for next year. Both this 250r and my 200x racer will probably end up more as show bikes after next winter.

Thanks for the heads up Kintore. I'll see how these treat me in the short term, but will probably move to the BAJA style down the road to prevent any issues especially with running the 10" rims.

Thanks for the good comments,

Here is the latest pick up for the build

[xrider]

Finally got the 250r done. Here are some finished pictures. I'll be racing it tomorrow at Lorain County Fair. I ended up stripping the entire bike down and starting with a freshly powdercoated frame. I added the 10" front rim and tire and Phase Five Racing seat cover as well (thanks to Mrs. Mosh). Encase anyone was wondering, I switched the Fast Trekkers around to the correct direction after the photos. Thanks, xrider

awesome trike

[motoman1012002]

what size is the tire up front

[kylehowell73]

hey yours got a 310 kit in it? and man i think ill put some money into mine and make it look nice like that lol

[vartiak15]

did you not use the extended hubs?

[xrider]

Just got back from the race and the bike performed awesome. I won my class in the first moto. Unfortunately I forgot to bring extra plugs to the race and I fouled a plug after the first moto. By the time I realized it and got it changed the second moto was already underway. The suspension setup with the calfab, 18" rear tires, and 10" front rim felt perfect on the track tho. I ended up not using the Westcoast Hubs as I went with a +6" Finishline axle instead. No it doesn't have a 310 kit, I'm running a Phase Five Stage 9 Kit. I'll check on the tire size for you motoman, I can't remember off the top of my head. Thanks, xrider
