DING DING DING!!! Winner winner chicken dinner!
That's what I was referencing in my post above. Somebody hooked it up wrong and it has been so caked with gunk that I didn't see it until now. I know that's not good...but how bad is it?

can you take it apart. The female green connector looks fried. Need to put a new one on. How bad is the yellow male connector?
The yellow is ok, but the green one is definitely Ghandi. Gonna have to cut it off, then I will check the resistance across the regulator. Is there anything else that could be affected by this?
Also, the rubber that holds the regulator onto the frame is dry rotted and brittle...anyone have an extra that they want to get rid of?
regulator is for lights only. did your front work?
That's what I thought. Yeah, the front worked...but not the rear. I will throw another bulb in when I get it all back together next year.
Thanks man.
Tank is on the stand, started some clean up.

Suh-weet! You're the man Mike!
Now I'm REALLY glad I got new shrouds for that tank!
Well...still not much progress to report. I've been out of town a lot for work and just not much time for anything other than family stuff lately.
I did get the brake assemblies taken apart and off to the PC guy...hopefully that will all be back pretty soon. One of my rear brake Pistons is missing the insert that pushes against the pad. I know the pistons are obsolete, so I looked on eBay...only found one set of aftermarket for $70. Is there another piston out there that will work for my application? I think it is the "A" piston...the one without the P-brake shaft.
Thanks
You can still buy a kit new to replace the pistons.
Here you go sir. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-TRX250...dXH9Hm&vxp=mtr
Thanks Brother Yaeger!
Yeah...I saw those, but was hoping that I wouldn't have to drop $70 on them.
That might be my only option.
I finally got around to bead blasting some of the aluminum parts and think that they turned out pretty well. It was all in pretty bad shape...it's amazing how much better it all looks now.
And (after five full weeks) I got some of my parts back from the powder coater. The frame looks outstanding in Super Mirror Red and all the black parts turned out fantastic as well.
I'm still missing the handlebars (he forgot to do them) and the top of the throttle housing. It is a 2 tone with raised HONDA in silver...that didn't get done right. I'm also missing the swinger and wheel hubs. They were shot in gold, with a satin clear, but the clear sagged. Gotta be blasted and redone...oh well. I think I will take buster brown's (and bkm's) advice this time and leave off the clear coat...I think it took away from the richness of the metallic gold.
I'm starting to get the majority of the parts in to make this a roller, but just need to find the time to wrench. Hopefully I will have more progress to share in the next few weeks.
Yummy, the frame looks like a big hot tamale. This thing is going to look sick....where's the motor? To scared to come out and play with his new shiny friends?
Well... I sent the motor up to Fatasse Racing in MO. Those guys take their sweet time just like my PC guy does!
It needed EXTENSIVE help as the case damage was the least of my worries. Complete an utter rebuild with a coat of fresh powder after its all said and done. Those guys come HIGHLY recommended and I don't dare rush perfection!
