1984 Honda ATC 250R build / rebuild also with a 300kit

[pipeline triker]

I fixed my footpegs yesterday, got them all built back up. They seem to have turned out nice. I painted in the afternoon, so I will assemble them today and get a couple pics. I have not been doing much on the frame as I need to get to town and get some more blasting sand. Our weather has been awful, cold and last night and yesterday we got another, 4-6 inches of snow. They are saying upper 30's today. Gonna try and get my NASA axel cleaned and polished today.

Clayton, remember the building I was working on last May, I think we had the office part kinda done. We worked all summer and I have a new shop. I love it. I am so glad I had it this past winter with all those -20 and -30 days and nights. Got alot of sleds done and engines rebuilt in it already.

Your work is top notch. This is JMHO !! I love the looks of these 300 kits with the fin ends sanded off. Obviously completely up to you!! But it really sets them off! Can't wait to see it come together! Thanx again for taking the time to stop and photograph everything.

Oh yeah, gotcha. Always great to have a nice warm place to work. Sounds like you got it worse last night, we just got some freezing rain and a dusting of snow. Come on, spring!

Me and my build are still alive.
Wow time flies, I had to put my own trike builds on hold for a little while and focuss on doing stuff to pay the bills. I did get the grab bars welded up last week. I bought a big blasting cabinet also, works nice for everthing but frames not quite big enough. I have been riding some, so thats a good thing.

Been getting some small stuff done for this. Finally got a perfect headlight shell also. Been so busy with work, my own stuff gets back shelved. I also got a new axle for this, it is a plus 2 or 4 it is 3 inches wider than stock so go figure. It is super beefy, makes the NASA look little and the factory one look like a toothpick. It is the same size from the center to the hub area pretty much. Uses giant castle nuts. Came with some old school big hubs, but I am going to run the 400 ex ones I have insted. That with the ex rims will put me about 9 inchs wider than stock.

Well I spent a good chunk of the other day working on this. I got the frame in primer. I had a mess, all the bare metal was rust and the paint was really chipped up, with alot of surface rust in every weld and angle. I sandblasted the entire thing down to bare metal, then scuffed it up for the finish to adhear. Looks nice. I may get up early and make it red, takes a few hours with the paint and clear. We have real low humidity right now so I need to take advantage of it. I will get some new pics up soon also.
I think my new axle may be a dura blue

I got up early the other day and was painting by 8. just finished the last coat of clear in little under 2.5 hours for paint and clear. I have about 8-10 hours in this frame alone, with drilling and cleaning out broke off bolts, fixing welds, re welding brackets and then all the sandblasting , prep and primering. I think it turned out real nice, it sure is shinny and red. Feels good to have this hurdle done. I will take some pics and get them up later. I should get my 85R frame done right away while I am at it. .

Here are a few pics of the new axle. It is beefy and wider.




Thats it for now, frame is dry and ready for assembly to start. I still need chain sliders and pivot bushings, but think I have everything else. Need to redo a tank yet also.

Looks great Ahren! You will need that 300 kit to hang with Gary and Tommy on their 250's.

I figured I better make sure this trike was mine and went to get it registered today. Like most of my trikes I am the first registered owner. I figured that would be the case with this one as it was a race trike, and was never trail ridden. I went with a private reg. since this trike will not ever be trail rode, but wanted to get it in my name. With all the rare parts and time I will have in to it I can ride other ones on the trails. I will still ice race and maybe do some drags with it through. I did register my 85R for the trails today and that one the frame is not even done yet. the 85 was never registered either, so I am the first owner on that one as well.

Got a fare amount done on this tonight. My wife helped and it went pretty good. We got the engine in and the entire front end on, along with some other parts. I used a dull Maier front fender for the 85-86 R to match the low pro rears if I run them. Will take some pics tomorrow.

Any updates on this?

[pipeline triker]

Yes alot, still not done but I will try and get some pics posted up.

[pipeline triker]

Well I have not posted new pics as I am doing everthing from a tablet now. Still working on this but on the side. Got a like new headlight glass, frame, and retaining springs. Blasted the frame and repainted it today with some other stuff. I will try and figure out how to do pics soon.
