Aircooled project progress updated 3-2

[BLAZERONE22]

Well I've made a little progress on the 84 250R. Painted the frame last week, stripped down the Westcoast swinger and replaced the pivot bearings, now that was a job! Yesterday I set in the motor and spent the better part of the day today hooking up the swingarm and Fox shock, the front end is off a 85 250r. Hopefully by the end of the week it will be a roller!!!!

[hondatrikesrule22]

Sweet :-D , did you sandblast and polish the motor?

[motoman1012002]

i though you need to paint the westcoast swing to give it the old school look

[84250r]

What kind of rear shock is that? Stock?

[plkmonster2]

He said it was a Fox shock, so I guess... Its a Fox shock! :-D

[smokinp]

Looks really good

[kilabeez0]

UGH I HATE YOU!!! u stole the color from my 200x project!! :evil:

well not like u knew it, but my frame and a bumch of parts are metallic blue as well. :D

[compaqkoci]

same color almost as my frame :-P . i too like your motor silver like that

[350Xccelerator]

what color fenders and tank will be goin on there?

[BLAZERONE22]

what color fenders and tank will be goin on there?


I would like white plastics on there, but I got a great deal on a set of red, so red it is! Should'nt look to bad. I'm still looking for a 85-86 250r headlight though. anybody have one forsale ?

[350Xccelerator]

just make sure the front fender is for an 85-86 model ;)

[jeswinehart]

Looking pretty wicked. Going to be one sweet ride. :bounce

I just mocked up the rear end this weekend. Working on getting the shock all cleaned and looking like new. Should have it all mounted this week.

That thing is going to be REALLY nice when you are done and theres no feeling like being able to show her off when shes done. It looks great so far anyway .... Hey I was wondering, from the shock angle, it looks like that west coast swinger is modeled after the '83 arm?, not that that is a bad thing. :Beerchug

I know where you can get all your parts for old bikes, go to Rockymountainatv.com, then order a catalog, you will find everything for your R there.

[BLAZERONE22]

Well I mounted up my tires tonight. I've had these old sand unlimited tires for a while and thought I'd put them on the R.

[mart]

thats so good hopefully 1 day mine is as clean

[BLAZERONE22]

I just dropped off the OEM exhaust to get Ceramic chromed. http://www.finishlinecoatings.com/index.html I've never tried that before. and I thought it would be better than getting a DG exhaust for it. the shop is only a mile down the road from me. pretty cool guy that owns it. he runs land speed cars on the salt flats. seems real knowledgeable. Also got the 82 back today from getting a topend rebuild so its up and running!

[BLAZERONE22]

Well during the race today I decided to mount up the seat and brackets to the plastic and install them on the bike to kinda get an idea of what it going to look like. Looks pretty cool! I also undated my website a little. check it out.

[AirManCam]

:shock: :shock: Dude that thing owns!!! Great work! I think I should send one of my 350xs down there for you to work on ;)

[smokinp]

That looks awesome :shock:

[BigGreenMachine]

Wax On...LOL. Very nice job done on that bike. Can't wait to see how it looks finished.

[jakey]

What kind of paint is that?

[mike from long island]

and what the helll tires are those??? they are cool!!!!!good job

[350Xccelerator]

awesome job! yea those tires are pretty cool, what are they called?

[BLAZERONE22]

They are old sand unlimited tires, they work pretty good out on the sand plus you can ride with them a little on harder surfaces, I had them for years. I thought they would look cool on the aircooled. This bike sets pretty tall. Its going to have a ton of travel on the suspention.

[250SX_rider]

This is one nice R...but it definately needs an headlight :? and maybe a chrome skidplate would look nice :?: anyway...nice trike!

[250SX_rider]

Oh, I forgot to tell you...maybe fork boots would be cool ;)

[Preddy05]

well maybe before he would put a headlight or boots might wanna think about foot pegs :-D .....all i gotta say is it looks sweet right now can't wait to see it done

A Chain would be helpful also and maybe even a petcock in the tank, and brakes also! :D

[BLAZERONE22]

Well, I'm still waiting for my front brakes, and chain to get here, also my pipe and silencer should be ready Monday. I installed the grab bar and front skid plate, pegs and a couple other things. My headlight made it here yesterday! Thanks CHAINSAW! I'm still looking for the black forkcaps and the front brake guide that mounts on the lower triple. both parts are off a 85 R If anyone has one drop me a note. I also picked up a set of Maxis 6 plys for riding on the dirt.

[benscool1]

That is one SWEET air-cooled R Blaze! Really makes me wish I had one. Good work.

[twgranger]

That is very nice! :trikesown

[350Xccelerator]

wow that is one damn nice R, i dont think anyone could have done a better job on it. the stickerless tank looks better.

[toyota200x]

That is the best looking air cooled R I have ever seen. I would like to see it with a vented number plate on there. The 85 headlight is great looking on there though. Where did you get the Fox shock at? I would say it is a 85-86 model if I didn't look at the motor. Do you ride a lot of desert? I like it better without the 6 pack rack. I would like to see you put upside down fork guards on those conventional forks. I like the look without the fork boots. We need more people like you fixing trikes.
Good Work

[CHAINSAW]

hell yeah man!! that headlight looks better on a machine, then on my desk beside me. :D I hope it arrived okay, and not busted up or scratched to hell from USPS.

[BLAZERONE22]

Well I finally got my pipe back tonight. Looks pretty good! Not bad for 130.00. Now if I can only round up all my front brake parts and add some gas and fire this baby up and take her out for a ride. I bought some 6 ply maxis for it also for trail riding.

[BLAZERONE22]

Here's a pic of the bike when I got it. Looks totally different huh???

[CHAINSAW]

Whoa!! Hell of a nice job man.. Im impressed!

[ste-pel]

Here's a pic of the bike when I got it. Looks totally different huh???

looks like mine except i have all of my rear fender and my plastic is still red and 1/2 of my head pipe is from an 82 the top 1/2 is the orignal

Man that makes me smile!!!

Awesome, Awesome job!

[Invincible]

STOP STOP STOP AAAAHhhhhhh
You've gone and done it agian you've activated that unstopable itch i can already feel my wallet and bank acount shrinking.
Now i'm going to have to go and find an R to fix up and ride.

Lol just kidding.
But nah you've done a great job if you know of any R's in or close to Arkansa let me Know

[Meat-BoX]

Are those Foot pegs anodized? That is a bad arse ride. 8)

[BLAZERONE22]

Well I put the Tires on tonight and hooked up the petcock and filled the tank and fired it up tonight. Its nice and quiet with that OEM exhaust on there. I'm happy I did'nt go for that DG pipe. The footpegs are painted. I have a set getting chromed for it, I really like the look though of the pegs on there now.

[vartiak15]

how do u like thoes tires im going to get some for my 200x project. how much u pay and what size?
