[wanta86r]

just want to make one suggestion. get an aluminum exhaust flange with o rings. it will keep that newly painted engine looking nice, and you wont have a leaky oily mess

[250r'en +TCB]

^^ yeah ESR sells them right? I think they are like $45 if memory serves.... Your defianatly right though, thanks for remiding me about that!

[Kintore]

You can also get them off ebay, I know nouseforaname got one and he noticed more power and it kept all the crap/oil off his engine.

[250r'en +TCB]

I just bought a 310cc big bore for it!!! Looks like I'll have to take that engine out agian, but who cares!!!!!!!!!! lol

[Bryan Raffa]

LOL! it never stops does it? he he he..... lookin great so far!

[250r'en +TCB]

LOL! it never stops does it? he he he..... lookin great so far!
I have spent $800 dollars on this thing in less than a week!!!!!:lol: :lol: :lol: Between that ST kit and the new big bore!!! Damn I have to hold back for a couple months now!!

[Mosh]

looks good.the 310 kits seem to be gettin popular lately.how about some pics of that seat.lol.

[hrc85250r]

i was wondering how in hell a 16 year old can spend so much money. i worked full time every summer during school and i still couldnt afford any of this stuff... i still cant to tell you the truth.

[wanta86r]

that sure is a nice lookin cylinder, any idea what year? Does anyone know how well the stock cylinders do as far as cooling with that big bore sleeve in it

[250r'en +TCB]

hahaha yeah I have saved all summer. I mow lawns and do landscaping stuff on my own, I make WAY more than a kid making minimum wage.....

Moshman, sorry about those pics! Been a little busy as you may have noticed lol I got it profesionally mounted for $120, the stapples were rotted so it cost a ton, but damn it looks good huh??

just to let everyone know. i will cover you seat for 25-35 dollars.(if you buy my covers,or provide your own)

[Mosh]

here is a pic of the shock cover you will be gettin.

[slothminx]

Holy *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* man, you got had. $120 !!! It takes an hour or so when you have never even done one before. I cannot believe you paid that much.

[250r'en +TCB]

^^^ yeah will, but think about it. Do you think I could ever get it as good as a professional appolstry guy can??? Now it will last for a long time. I did overpay, but that's what you get when you want it done ASAP......

Damn i can't wait till my R is back together! I plan on spanking every 450cc or raptor that comes in sight!! hahaha

[firefirefire90]

with that Hondaline S/T kit....your gonna need some H-tracs....pm me if you need some.

EDIT: hahah i forgot to mention...NICE TRIKE!!! That thing is smashing! GOing mental about that 310 kit...geez....that looks like it cost way more than 800 all together. I think you will have a wicked trike once your done. Keep up the pics!

[theonlyjosh]

lol sweet man, dam i wish i worked full time i shoulda... and coulda.. i make 340 canadina a week but i dont li,ke work ahaha amazing trike dude

[250r'en +TCB]

Yeah I was thinking about tires........ Turf tamers might be a little much lol

can't wait to throw this thing sideway and grab a handful of throttle!!! Don't you worry I'll keep the pics coming! ST coming tomorrow, you can bet your life there will be pics!! hahaha

[twgranger]

Had my seat done for $40. $120 is *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited* crazy!!!!!

[250r'en +TCB]

Short Track kit is installed!! except plastics that is.........

Holy crap this thing is going to turn on a dime!!!!! I grinded down the steering stops by a few MM as well, so needless to day I will be able to turn rather sharply.......

Top ST, bottom stock (even bigger difference when you see and touch them in person!)

Damn I cannot wait to get out on some loose dirt/sand and whip this puppy!!! hahaha

[ATCR250R]

Looking real nice, keep up the good work!

[ChrisD]

I hope you didn't grind them too far. Your fork tube will hit your tank. Mine is very close without the extra grinding... Just a thought.

[250r'en +TCB]

I hope you didn't grind them too far. Your fork tube will hit your tank. Mine is very close without the extra grinding... Just a thought.
No they don't hit, the right fork is about 1.5 inches away from the radiator cap........ I grinded them to be equal with the frame if you look staight down from the stearing neck.

[BigGreenMachine]

Looking real good. Time to get some jetting recommendations for the new 310 kit and 38mm carb setup.

[250r'en +TCB]

I already have the 38mm mikuni you gave me on the machine. It's jetted at 320 now with pipes and a clamp on uni-filter. I'm thinking 380's????

Damn kid, you've come along way! Seems like just yesterday you were doing things like "wipe'n before ya poop". JK :lol:
Wait till ya get that thing run'n and see how fast it rips through a ST tank of gas!?!?!?:naughty: You'll go back to the stocker in no time I'll bet.

[Yamaha Tri-Moto]

Damn, that bike is gonna look sexy and move to. Make sure you keep us posted.

actually he is building this as an ice racer, and wanted the increased steering radius. real nice comment to a youg trike enthuasist:wondering

[250r'en +TCB]

:lol: wow thanks AZ250R!!! It's ok though I see what your getting at, but a year ago I proubly wouldn't have been "qualified" to rip the machine completely down......

Wanta86r is right I am building an ice racer, maybe some flat track stuff off season as well. I will still ride the trails around here, but they are nice smooth and strait RR beds. They are ideal for high-speed cruising and about 20 miles in length so now I go through an ST tank after about 3 runs up and down (I already had an ST tank and shrouds on my R, just liked the look more...). So with a 310 kit I'll of coarse be toasting through gas, but 2 runs i should still easilcy get without even getting into reserve. I keep gas in the truck so when I pass it I'll just fill her up.

[deathman53]

my 250r with a short track burns through the gas super fast, not many can believe how often I have to refuel. However, I do closed course mx riding, and a large fuel tank is not needed. I get about 12 laps around one track I ride at(2.3 mile course) and the tank is bone dry. I love the short track kit for mx racing, I can't see it being any good for much else. I hope he really enjoys it for ice racing, however, I would change the choice of tires for ice use, you want a ice racing tire or a tire that you can stud. Turf Tamers won't grip on ice very good, and you are hard pressed to stud them with the soft compound.

[ChrisD]

You absolutely need the S/T kit for flat track and ice racing too. The extra little bit saved my but a bunch of times and it lets you get really agressive coming into the turn close without worring about overshooting the apex of the turn. It really works well. You need to get Cheng Shin C826 18x9.5x8 tires for ice racing...good studs too (Kold Kutters)

Yeah I know, Cheng-sing 18's are best. ChrisD's "ice racer setup page" is like the ice racer's bible :lol:

should be getting my 310 kit by this weekend I hope....

[ChrisD]

One other thing with the 310 kit. You may actually go smaller on your jetting. The larger motors have lower velocity through the carb and reeds so you may end up rich. I would ride it first, to a plug chop and see what it looks like.

I went from a 190 to a 175 main jet on my 40.5 PWK.

[AZ250R]

I already had an ST tank and shrouds on my R, just liked the look more
I'll agree with ya on that fer sure! I'd be run'n one too if I didn't need all the petrol I can carry. I get about 30 miles on a tank now run'n the same carb as you. Shoot'n lotsa hills just sucks my gASS! ;)

[250r'en +TCB]

UPDATE 9-4

Basically the story of my life right now is "Hurry up and wait..." The big bore kit should be here thursday or friday, but the sooner the better....

Just thought I grab a few pics with the plastics on to show you guys what she's basically gonna look like done....
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/ATCteen/waitingonbigbore002.jpg
Stickers on shrouds I added
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/ATCteen/waitingonbigbore003.jpg
Turn sharp enough for you??? lol

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/ATCteen/waitingonbigbore005.jpg
Look how close the handlebars come to the gas tank!!! About 3/4in at closest point!!!
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/ATCteen/waitingonbigbore006.jpg
http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e306/ATCteen/waitingonbigbore007.jpg

P.S. I was thinking in the fute I may buy wite ST shrouds from Aussie, white rear fender and white front fender to go for a "1987 HRC-ATC250R" look..... Maybe use the red plastics I have now for racing.... You guys think that would look cool?? Input is needed!!!

[250r'en +TCB]

UPDATE 9-8

The 310 kit is installed and the engine is ready to run!!! Finished that tonight along with putting the front wheel/brakes......

All I have left to do is install the axle, which all you 250R guys know is always a fun project hahahahaha I will be finished with re-assembly by sunday at the latest!!!

Man - if you are really 16 years old - you are a LEGEND!

What a fantastic looking machine - can't wait to see it finished!

I took a quick ride around my yard and the only single word that describes it is "EFFORTLESS"........Effortless power and effortless steering:naughty:
I never left 1st gear! You could defiantly tell how much more power was now at your comaned!!! It didn't wheelie bad at all, even on tar....... I suppose if you just punched the throttle on pavement you could get the front end up easy though........

What's remarkble is this machine is geared for top end, and you still notice the ton of extra power even in 1st gear! That's with a 14-tooth front sprocket!!!!!

Any questions you gusy have I'll be more than happy to answer (yes I really am 16 gottahaveaUS90 :lol: )

P.S. New and better pics will be coming soon!!!

[ATCR250R]

I have one word for you.... NICE!!!!!!!!

[SYKO]

:beer good job man!!:Bounce

[Chevy200s]

Looks nice! good job man:beer

[ATC-Eric]

Good for you man! I wish I could have been doing that at sixteen!

[250r'en +TCB]

Thanks guys!!!! Just occured to me by tallying everything up that I spent $1306.28 on this machine in under 2 weeks!!!! hahahaha

[edog]

Looks good,should get a good digital cam.

[250r'en +TCB]

Looks good,should get a good digital cam.
I blew all the money on the trike man:lol: :rolleyes:

[theonlyjosh]

wow man, sick ride, is that 1300 for all or did you also pay like 1,000 for the bike lol, nice tho awesome job!!!

[250r'en +TCB]

no that's the money i sepnt on it in the past 2 weeks!!! hahaha All together I'd say I've spent well over $2500 on it, I got it for free it was my uncles....

[maggiesboy]

nice job :D

[BigGreenMachine]

That looks sweet! New plastic?

[Mosh]

looks fantastic. you did a heck of a job on it. is it set up for shortrack?or all purpose? did you lengthen the swinger for that monster 310 power?

[250r'en +TCB]

looks fantastic. you did a heck of a job on it. is it set up for shortrack?or all purpose? did you lengthen the swinger for that monster 310 power?
It's gonna be an ice racer in the winter and in the other seasons I'll be riding on the RR beds and sandpits around here. And not I didn't lengthen the swinger, and I never will!!!! I'll gear the hell out of it before I lengthen the swinger and make handling horrible!!!!

[JohnR.]

It's really amazing to see someone who wasn't even born when these things were built having the initiative and knowledge to build something this radical. Where did you find the ST kit and how much did it cost you? I bought mine about 8 years ago when they were still cheap but I've seen them go for some crazy money since then. If this winter pulls through for us (unlike last year) you've got to come down and do some ice racing with us in Greenwood Lake, NY or maybe we can come up and hit some ice by you. BTW be careful with that ST kit, those parts are impossible to find and even more expensive to replace. I've got to post some pics of mine, I haven't been on here much in 5 or 6 years and the trike looks a lot different from when it was on the top of the home page.

John

[250r'en +TCB]

Well glad to see your back on 3WW JohnR!!! You must ride/race with ChrisD on Greenwood lake right? Defiantly would like to hang with you gusy some time, if not this winter maybe I'll see you at Trikefest???

I do apprechiate the fact that you admire me (being born in 1990) for doing all this. Sometimes it amazes even me. Unfourtunelty I only get compliments from kids my age who have the knowlage to understand what I'm doing. Mostly it's usually "WTF? Who rides a 3-wheeler???" or "Those things are illegal arn't they???"....... I just laugh, especially when kids say their CRF250R would smoke me :lol:

I got the ST kit from wanta86r for $450......... Good price for a complete kit in great shape now adays......... I have a spare ST tank and shrouds (in rougher shape but still decent). Like I mentioned earlier around Christmas time I want to buy maier white rear fender, front fender and headlight shroud and then buy white ST shrouds from Aussieduner. I want it to look like the 1987 HRC ATC250R that never was, my lasting tribute to the ATC's I guess you'd call it.....:beer

[350xBomb]

That is beautiful man...cant wait to see it...

[JohnR.]

Well glad to see your back on 3WW JohnR!!! You must ride/race with ChrisD on Greenwood lake right? Defiantly would like to hang with you gusy some time, if not this winter maybe I'll see you at Trikefest???

Yeah, ChrisD, myself, my cousin, and a couple of other's who don't frequent this place tear it up out there. Trikefest is a possibility but not very likely since family stuff is very hectic right now. Again, good work on the machine and keep us updated.

Looks good! Is the duct tape finaly gone on the seat?

[WIkid500]

WOW KIller trike MAN!!!!! And $2500 for total investment isn't bad at all. Hell I have that much in one of my rifles W/o the scope. That trike just simply amazing. Glad to see someone younger who cares about the trikes!


Ride em' hard!!

[ATC-Eric]

Flawless victory!

[edog]

Good Job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kintore]

Nice job buddy, now to come to 07 and see how she runs :)

[ChrisD]

Great job. $2500 is a great deal too. We hope to see you come down or maybe we can find somewhere in between to meet.

[JohnR.]

I'd be down for a ride up there this winter as long as the new job I will be starting soon permits it. Can you imagine what his parents will say when the likes of us show up? :lol:

It looks really good BTW. I think I'm gonna drag mine out this weekend and give it a once over. Maybe Monday since I have to work Saturday.

John

[Mosh]

Once again.That trike turned out great.Maybe we should have made your seat say 310R.
