I would think 250r tank scoops would look awesome but I dont think they will mount up....... anyone have any mods that make it look cooler than stock? (besides rims/tires and exhaust, and fork guards) PICS would be awesome!!

my cousin has an 86 with spacers, and it looks great and it's much easier to do donuts on.

A nice big grab-bar, different colored sprockets from Sidewinder (I think), wave rotors, stainless steel brake lines, 350X headlight, different color handlebars, billet shifter/brake pedal, and lots of chrome ;) That should jazz it up quite a bit.

I'm one of those guys that loves the way most ATVs came from the factory. I say resore it to look the way it looked when it was made. I just picked up an 89 TRX 250r today and plan on returning it to it original full fendered, white plastic, headlight-in-the-hood glory. Spend some money to make it look like it did to begin with, then spend some money on your motor if it's not fast enough for you.

yeah get a six pack rack, some reanthal handlebars, and a rear sprocket from sidewinder like the one that tom batts has on his 350x.

Jonathan...If I remember correctly, 1988 was the only year the headlight was in the hood on the TRX. I think they moved it back up to the handlebars for '89. :rolleyes:

Thats what I though but the last time I saw my brother, he said only the '88 had it in the nose....He got me all discombobulated :?

Tell your bro he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about! ;)
He probably came across somebody trying to push a 86/87 off as an 89.

:-D

I'll tell him....but the funny thing about all of this is that he's owned all 4 TRX years at one point in time. :D
