Join sandlakeduners.com its a local group im in and there are tons of pics and videos. BTW the geckos are no longer on it. A couple mods inculde mx port job, high flite desert seat, babalnced top end, lightend windowed piston, 4 over swing-arm and 4" total of axle spacing. Not really a mod but correct jetting. Ill get pics of my tri-z up later, not nearly as awesome but it will soon be. :w00t:

And here's an extremely unremarkable video (http://webserver1.dancris.com/~dammit/250r/w00t.wmv). We were too busy riding to stop and mess with the camera much that day.

Edit: Sandman and RedRider have two of the sweetest looking dune R's I've seen.

I never get tired of looking at the pics, or my bike for that matter, but I figure someone here might. Let me know when you want to go Sandman. My bike is itchin' to stretch her legs.

I've always liked the look of your R Sandman. I remember the first time I saw it a few years ago when I signed up on Desert Union. Good looking trike.

Mr. sandman where is the swing arm for that beast? I have a 310 also on an 86 250-r, with 5" longer swing arm. Its hard enough to keep mine down,what size carb does yours have? Sure is a clean ride.

Mr. Sandman
07-26-2005, 01:54 PM
So are you saying you wanna trade swing arms? Seriously though, I never said it didn't wheelie with a blip of the throttle, it's just one mod I haven't ever gotten around too in the 20+ years I've owned the bike. The carb is a 39mm air stryker.

all I can say is :drool: :drool:

I will never ever get tired of looking at your ride sandman. Best looking chrome sweet 250r I have ever seen. Clean too!

Well done, maybe in the future and millions of dollars later haha I'll have something like that.

hey red rider, do you have a steam press at your house or something? Do you use that trike as a mirror in your bathroom? My god that thing is shiny! A truly beautiful machine, nice work!

It's amazing how the proper diet can give your bike a nice shiny coat. I never would have guessed that those banshees & new technology 4-strokes had so much protein. :naughty:
