Project Left Turn 81 300r

[MRSOUND]

I have to laugh a little every time I see you mention those white fenders. I had a set of nos white maier fenders sitting in my front room for a long time. The real early dull looking finish fenders, you know. I bought an 82 250r and he keeps it up in NY at his house, and the last time he came through town, he picked up the fenders and took them back up to NY with him. I think he put those fenders on the 82, just so he wouldn't mess up the stock Honda rear fenders. Real nice fenders, but hadn't been in the bag for years, so just had a little scuffing from being moved around. The last set of whites I had seen in years, but no one seemed to like the dull finish.

So Pat, if you still own the R and the fenders are officially yours and they are just "replacements" any chance they would be for sale?????

Well got the motor pulled from it today. Had to pull head to get the motor out. Bought some Bling for the motor though. I don't think this motor has very many hours on it but has been running very rich.

Seen that cover on eBay. Almost jumped on it myself! But I know I need a lot of "necessities" for mine and figured I better pass and start getting what I need first. Are you gonna polish the rest of the motor now?

[90guy]

Think Ill just through some polished covers on it and clean it up and make it look nice. Can't justify a full polished motor lol!

[MRSOUND]

Well come on and get this build moving along, I need an inspirational kick in the pants!

Haha! When I get on days Ill talk to the guy whos suppose to be doning my frame. Don't see him on night shifts. Once the frame gets to him I can start cleaning some stuff up and start doing some work and buying some parts lol!

[MRSOUND]

Just ribbing ya. I'm still trying to decide on a color scheme. All I've got done is the fenders pulled. Selling some stuff on Ebay and waiting on some sales so I can start buying bearings, cables and some of the common replacement stuff. Still trying to decide if I want to try and find an extended swinger and axle. This is my one and only and first "sport" trike so it's gonna be a newer experience for me. Luckily Blue27 lives close enough and has offered his expertise when needed.

[90guy]

Haha Yeah figured that. Yeah I am waiting to get some paint slapped on so I can get everything I need for my swingarm so I could start assembling. Need to send my rear shock to works to have it cleaned up and reworked for what I will be using it for. and paint and cleaning. Just Pmd Greg on polishing the cylinder bahaha! lol Need to get some bearings coming! lol

[MRSOUND]

I'm coming to the realization that I'm not gonna find white plastics which would have opened the rest of it up for any color scheme. I guess I'm not really going to go for the performance side as much as something eye pleasing and different that's completely functional on an everyday basis. Guess I'll just have to let it come together as I go and see what falls in my path. Lots of ideas...not as much money and time lol. I will have it ready for TF one way or another. Are you cracking the cases and doing a full rebuild?

[90guy]

Yeah I would love white plastics also but like you stated be difficult to find a set. Uhmm... I was thinking maybe on splitting cases. But by the way this machine drove and rode and the way the cases look I don't think there are many hours on the machine. Probably just leave the bottom end alone. Pull the cylinder check the rod and check the ring gap. And see where it goes haha! I just want to get a good start happening! lol Winter is here so all my painting will be done at work on nigh shifts lol! Have to do some soda blasting next week and get stuff ready for paint! like the pipe and the motor mounts! Clean up the swinger and the silencer.

[MRSOUND]

Well I'll be watching so plenty of pics please. I'll bring my thread back to the top once I have any progress. Hoping to get it tore down over the holidays. Until then I'll live vicariously through your thread.

No polishing you want the sleeper effect...hehe

And please...more updates....I want to see this beauty take shape!!

[90guy]

Lol I'll just clean the cylinder up haha! And as for updates nothing happening so far. Have been on nightshift and just bought a winter beater that has some wiring issues I'm trying to figure out lol! Pictures will be posted as progress does happen!

[90guy]

Well just went through the motor. Low hour motor. Lots of life left in it! So I put it back together added a little bling. Threw the Mossbargers in and the 36mm tmx. Waiting on the frame now will be after the 1st for sure. Sorry for the bad pic. Poor lighting in the basement.

[MRSOUND]

What frame/swing arm color are you going with?
