Let's here about your winter projects!!!

[Derrick Adams]

Thought we needed a good thread to get some conversation started.

Here's mine:

1) 85 250R (Casper) This is my race trike from this past season. It will be joined by others this year but it's in need of some freshening. I plan on adding a fresh top-end, new rear tires, some Progressive front springs in the 500 forks, new plastics, and a fresh seat cover. Also planning on repainting and polishing alot!

2) 85 250R (Trail bike) This bike is getting an ESR 310 kit along with a PT type 6 pipe and a +4 swinger. However this bike is last on the list, so it may be ridden as-is for awhile. Target date for this one will be TF-07.

3) 86 Tri-Z (Buddy Bike) This bike is the one i'm working on right now. It's staying pretty basic with a fresh motor and MX suspension. I'm adding 250R forks and front wheel assembly, fresh plastics with a top mount tank, custom nerfs and new tires. Also in search of a good rear shock, but I may settle for a Banshee unit.

4) 85 1/2 Tri-Z (Project Z-F) This is the big one. Custom Billet Triples, Inverted forks, YZ250F engine, all new plastics, top mount tank, 250R rear suspension and Elka rear shock. This bike will be custom built from the ground up starting hopefully in January. I plan on getting Casper cleaned up first and finishing up the other Z before I start this one. Lots of time and money. (Hope my wife understands!)

What do you guys have going on?

[Yamahondaman]

DANG ..... No Orange Leaves Here !!! what the HECK is Winter ???
Hey Derrick .. i can't WAIT to see all "YA'LL'S" Bikes in OWE SEVEN !!!

[super90]

I might do a few overnight overhauls. I cant do a complete job on my 200x since its the only running trike i have right now.

[Dammit!]

Looking forward to seeing your completed projects, Derrick. You always do good looking, original work.

My projects:

My R is just about as done as it's gonna get until next summer most likely. I do have a Paul Turner High Rev for it that's going to get mounted up after I get the dings taken out. I just threw on a billet LED tail light. Maybe if I get lucky and have some extra cash I might finally swap out the swinger with an extended one. I'd eventually like to throw some progressive springs and an elka rear shock on there.

The other 3 projects just keep inching along...

1986 350x: I think this one might end up getting finished before the others even though I got it the most recently. It appeared to be in pretty rough shape when I got it but I think it's probably not as bad as it looked. It's got all new plastics on it already and a new front brake line. Plan on getting a white clarke tank for it (hopefully) soon. I'll be looking for a used headlight/kill switch and wiring harness as well as replacing the chain/sprockets. I need to pull the top end and see what's going on in there. That will determine if it ends up getting done before the tri-z. If I can get away with just rings and a hone, maybe new valve guides, I should be able to get it buttoned up good enough to have some fun with. If it needs a full top end rebuild it will get pushed back a bit while I finish up the Z and I'll probably let NOS_350X have some fun porting it. Maybe get the flywheel lightened and find a 1986 swinger to replace the 85 the previous owner put on there.

1986 Tri-Z: Doesn't need a whole lot. New front tire, chain/sprockets, top end inspected, fork seals and that's about it mechanically. I probably won't be able to tear it down for full powercoat and polish until summer but the above should make it a worthy duner to back up my R.

1983 200x: This one needs the most. It's also most likely the one that will get the full PC/polish treatment first since I have spare 200x frames to make it easier. At the moment I'm still collecting parts here and there whenever I have some cash and spot a good deal. Still need a 84-85 type swinger with good intact skid plate mounts, rear maier fenders, possibly a new front maier 250r fender since the one I have is the dull type finish and I'd rather have glossy on that one. Needs a new chain and sprockets, fork seals, seat pan, foam and cover (might re-use the old cover), brake pads, don't know what kind of engine work it will need but I expect a new piston kit + misc. I already have a LOT of parts for it. I'm probably the most anxious to finish this one even though I know I'll probably ride it the least. Don't even know why I have it. It's going to be a sweet looking and running little X though. Just don't know when. :lol:

[85ytz250n]

I plan on getting my z some new plastic, but before that there is alot that needs painting, blasting first. Motor needs rebuilding, with a HeyRon porting job hopefully. Gotta find some kind of pipe to put on it, stock just isnt going to cut it. Then replace some misc nuts and bolts, along with a topmount tank fab. then put it all back together.

barry

[theonlyjosh]

wow big plans for some of you, i plan on finding a trike or a quad before winter, asap. I can't seem to find one i like locally yet.( affordably) but i'll keep looking.

[nouseforaname90]

Well my SX was last summers project which is completed, my 350X was this summer's project which is completed, the Z I got from you is 99% complete, so I guess that leaves the R. I'm hoping to get the R all finished up this winter or next summer. I'm looking at porting, shaved head, 38-40mm carb, BIIIG intake (already have it.. WHEW!), VForce reeds, PT High Rev pipe, billet exhaust flange, some cosmetic work, and some work on the rear end.. Progressive springs too. Its going to be a pretty big project!

[thefox]

Well seeing as I finished up the YTM last winter I guess it is time to tear it down and mod it as much as I can. The 200x may get some some engine work done or I may sell it, not too shure yet.

The the YTM I will swap parts over to the full suspension frame, add the kerker exhaust, clap-on air filter. I also want to swap out the front tire for a narrow one and get some blue plastic. I will also start on the extra motor that will end up in it. I was thinking of combinding the YTM and XT motors so that I can have a manual clutch but still have the pull stater. I am thinking of a megacycles cam, weisco piston, oil cooler, light porting, maybe a shaved flywheel. Basicaly when I am done I want it to beat some 200x's.

[Tri-ZNate]

I have that Blue 110 project still going. Monday hopefully i'll weld the 200x steering stem on and get the front end on so its a roller. I need to get some money raised up so I can get a powroll kit and make it a challenger for the kids class :twisted:

[nortond]

i wish i had a trike that i could fix up put first i want to get somethin to ride most likekly a quad then get a project trike and fix it up but first i have to save some money *Edited**Edited* i do anything ... good luck u guys fixing up those trikes i bet you they will look and run awesome when they r done!

[Chevy200s]

The big project for me right now is the 480R. Its been taking me a while but I'm trying to really take the time to do it right and not cut any corners. This bike is going to be just for the drag races and my goal is Trike Fest 07. As of now its just going to look like a regular 83-84 R with a slightly longer swing arm and a bigger motor, nothing fancy planned for the plastics or anything.

I'm also working on my dad's ATC 90 (72 or 73, not sure?) the high low tranny it has been having issues and now its locked up entirely. I have the parts to fix this, and a bunch of other items to touch up on the trike, so I want to have that looking sharp soon too.

Hope everyone posts some good pics!

[oldsking86]

Looking to get a new fmf fatty pipe so I can get the power I need for drag/sand racing, a set of new paddles, and a bigger carb for the R..

Other then that maybe I can manage on getting a nice 310 kit for it also ( im hoping to be working a deal out with a buddy this weekend :p )

[MIK6]

My winter plans...
87 T3 gets the SPROCK 300 kit,
86 T3 finish the rebuild, same colors as the 87 but w/ a shorter swinger and a headlight,
get Sparrows 2 Polaris Scramblers (P3's) together,
the Scat Tracker will get reworked a bit, and
I want a 70 project once I find the rite toy.
If I get all that done the 84 T3 project will get started.

MIK6 / Mike

[oldsking86]

Hey MIK6 do you actaully own an 87 T3? I thought the 86 was the last year for them? GOt a pic of that bad boy? :naughty:

[risccas]

Well I just aquired my very first atc/atv. It's a 1982 250R. I am expecting a new CDI to arrive this week. If it runs well, I plan to paint the frame and get new plastic for it. My father-in-law has about ten acres. I just bought it to take over there to have fun on. I plan on leaving it there.

Jason
Oklahoma

[Mike_Ham_250R]

Well, Id have something if someone would buy me blaster that is like better than showroom for cheep and the Bayou for $1000.

Im wanting a Tri-Z project or a TRX450R.

[Meat-BoX]

Well this beast is a pain. Allways something. I'm looking to get it set up for Ice Racing but who knows. I need to put the Cal-Fab on and the Hub extenders. Allso I mounted the 01 Raptor Shock upside down and I think thats why it is so stiff. Overall I need to Tear it down and clean and fix everything. I drilled out the frame for the shock and I have a feeling I screwed myself.

[slothminx]

For the Z: Planned is some little odd items to finally finish it off. Grab bar, rear light, rear plastics and then im pretty much done (for now)

Buying more machines, A project watercooled 250R will be entering the workshop, hopefully just a roller. This is gonna be the racer with a 88CR250 motor, find a shock from a modern bike that works in the rear and eventually inverts upfront.

A stock tri-zinger will be picked up for some laughs.

And a 200X for my dad to ride. Stock with some turf tamers hopefully

[Louis Mielke]

ha. oh boy a projects thread. lets see.


1.) The 500rs cosmetic rebuild. Got alot going on. Powdercoated frame, new rear tires, Ronnie redid the head, went to all stainless bolts, new tank, new plastics:naughty: Inverted KTM forks. Gota get tem redone for my weight. If funds allow I'm going to Service Honda's new digital ignition and lighting kit. Eventually its gonna get a wide ratio trans. This is the money pit. lol
http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m254/louis_mielke/100_0105.jpg


2.) 86 350x. Just a general rebuild, new topend & vavle job, powdered the swingarm, new bearings all around, new tires, 450r exhaust. THis is just gonna be my new runner when I finally tear my R down.

3.) My rider 250r. Today its getting progressive fork springs and a new front tire. Hopefully get some rear tires before the first snow. Also needs a few things Eventually I wanna tear it down, and do a restore with the NOS parts I've been saving and build a new all black daily rider R. One day at a time.

4.)85 1/2 Tri-Z. Complete engine rebuild and a rear shock. This is a slow one, scheduled completetion in 2008. lol.

5.) 1976 Honda xl250s. This is something I'm working on for my roommate's father. New topend, fabbed exhaust and a few cosmetic fixes.

6.) 85 Yamaha YTM225. I have three of these I'm peicing slowly back together into one good rider. I want something to compete with the bigreds on trail riding and stuff. Another one day at a time machine. lol

7.) I'm tring to get started on a hardtail drag 250 drag machine based on a YT175 and various other parts. THis is really just an idea right now.


And thats all my iorns in the fire right now. That and I'm saving for a house. My funds are stretched way too thin. lol

[weed]

my winter project is to get my shop up, then i can finish my 200x, powdercoat goodies and a fresh built motor. A few new things to put on it. it will look better than it does in my avatar

[SYKO]

85 atc 250R nothing major I hope , maybe split the cases and check the crank bearings, repaint the motor and swinger, try to retro fit a 450r rear shock, rear axle bearings

84 junkyard X nothing I hope, continue to use old and other parts to keep it going

85 trx 70 get it really really nice for my daughter for christmas

83 zuki alt 125 axle bearings, new muffler

starting on my 85 CR250R for flat tracking, I got a frame and front end, and the motor, first build the trike, then build the motor using a 1989 PV CR250 motor, probably will not get this done for the season starts but hope fully by summer it wil be ready

1989 blaster A arm bushings, new rear tires

[Kintore]

Oh I love this thread already, good idea Mr adams.

Heres my list, its growing everyday!


Boy that whole Z idea really got thrown out the window!

250r!:w00t: :lol:

[seadoo650]

Cool thread Derrick.

I'm going to get started on the wifes 200x teardown today. Look for a thread on it later. Got all the parts finally to get fifth gear fixed. Plus I'm going to hop it up a bit where it needs it.

I also got some new forks fror the 350x. I think one got bent in the very first hairscramble at Galion a few years back. I may need your help in rebuilding them though. Other than that the 350 is preety much O.K.

Then there is the 250r mx project. Got the left motor case from Max last week. Thanks Max. I'm not sure where to start with it. SOOO much to do. I've got all the parts I think to have it ready by Memorial day weekend for Smith Road.

With that said I'm off to the garage to tear down the 200x. Wish me luck.

[ATCGENIUS]

Hopefully in Jan 07 the Red Ranger project will begin. This will be a total frame up restore of a Honda atc 250es big red. This is going to be one of 2 mint big red builds, here is the list to do on this trike.
PROJECT RED RANGER
1. powder coat frame, tank, triple tree, racks, etc. oem paint colors
2. I have aquired all new complete set oem plastics(2)
3. new oem cables, grips, kill switch assem, etc
4. handle bars, perches, levers,etc. will be polished and chromed
5. motor will be gone completely thru-new bearings, match cases, polish gears
6. complete set of 85 big red stickers for a complete oem restore
7. front forks will be rebuilt, painted oem silver and new oem boots and bands
8. This one I need help with- I do not have a oem seat cover yet? help please!
9. all new bearings in the front wheel, rear end, drive train, etc

of course I will start a new thread with the big red pics as it sits now and then a step by step process of the tear down and final pics of the big red in pieces. I will update the thread with pics after each step of the rebuild. I hope this project turns out as nice as it looks in my dreams. Wish me luck!!

[BigGreenMachine]

Project T5 is underway and probably won't be complete until spring;

- 500 motor swap
- Motor rebuild with Vforce Reeds, reed spacer and port work
- Frame bracing
- +6 aluminum swingarm
- No link suspension
- Aluminum skids
- Aluminum airbox
- 22 inch tires
- Trail gearing
- Fat bar swap
- Thumb throttle
- Aussie Duner Plate
- Paint

Priority is test and tune of the chassis/500 motor before the glamor bits.

[fyi]

1) 1986 Honda ATC 250R: Pulling the Sabertooth 500cc engine that keeps blowing the 250R transmissions and transferring Sabertooth top end onto new built CR500cc bottom end for transmssion durability.

2) 50cc 4-stroke Mini-Chopper: Putting it al back together after it's head porting and cam change upgrade so we have something to get around on at trade shows.

3) 1985 Honda ATC 350x: Selling this one. It's in excellent condition and I love to ride it, but it's pretty hard on my body after a hard day's riding and my lower back condition doesn't like bouncing around on it very well... This one will make someone a very nice machine.

I'll dyno everything on our dyno when I'm done. :)

[ScottZJ]

Well unfortunately my winter isnt going to be as pleasant as I would wish.
I am currently on a slow recoop from reconstruction surgery on my right shoulder. My plans for the winter is to drop some major pounds and get some strength training to get my shoulder back in order. Also I would like to finish my 250r rider project. Cant wait to get back in the saddle.....physical therapy stinks!

pics of my shoulder if you want haha

http://www.fototime.com/inv/00C1FB568D7D28D

[Eric250R]

Want to see a project ?? How's this POS ? :lol: This thing is going to require some major attention. But considering I lost my job about a week and a half ago, it's going to have to wait for a little while.

[firefirefire90]

Get a motor and few misc. parts for the R, then ride it.

[Bryan Raffa]

first is my TRUCK,TRUCK,TRUCK!! need to get the bumpers,hood scoops,grill,bumper ends and BOX painted.. then the 3'' lift needs to go in,rear frame rail ends need to be straitend and all put back together. Then tires!!

second the 490... full drag port,bore to 50 over, new reeds,39pwk flatslide,pipe plated,stinger pipe made..and if its not fast as i want it it's going on ALKY witch means more $$$$$$$...p.s thanks chris for the alky set up..sooner than i thought!!!!LMAO!!!$$$$$$:naughty: :naughty: :naughty:

third get the 85 set up for the ice pretty mutch ready to go just need to swap tires and shock setup..

somewhere in there I would like to get a front plate for the mx bike and take all the lights off and get my DG bumper cut,welded and put on..

been workin from sun up to sun down for 18 days strait monday thru sunday, with no time to do anything..but eat..sleep..and 3ww till midnight witch makes it even harder to get up at the crack of dawn..not to mention shotgun season opend today and if i do get some free time Im going to the woods!!:p

[firefirefire90]

your making ANOTHER pipe for that 490!?!

[Bryan Raffa]

NO just getting it ceramic plated and a stinger made to replace the silencer!
SO bring your ear plugs to TF 07,,,:naughty:

[troy]

Well if we ever get snow here in Newfoundland Canada, i plan on using my ski doo and parkin the old yeller (200ern) and striping down the top end and treat her to some new gaskets, rings, maybe a piston (depending on the condition) and to top it off a set of rocker arms to get that annoying ticking out of my engine. And a few little things like new wiring, splash of paint here and there make her shine;) ...Can't wait

[erectordale]

well where too start on my list: Finish the 2nd TIger 500 still a frame and a box of parts

2nd finish up tiger 250 #1 and get Tiger 250 #2 restored and ride-able #3 get the Tiger 200 up and running still needs a lot.

Build my 617cc drag r starting with a 86 r roller and building from there.
rebuild this engine with lots of extras.

[Jason Hall]

I think I'm gunna put a fighter plane engine on a 3 wheeler for the drag's HAHAHAHA. That might take all winter though. Instead I think I'll just stick with the 310 with a different pipe & a couple more mod's to the motor. I think a Hi performance finagin pin should make It beat Ronnie on the Z.

My little guy who Is 9 needs the Cr60 zinger built, That will be fun.

Then comes the 87 500. That needs a big drag pipe. Also lots of port work so I can try to catch billy In 07. His 500 Is fast, but Billy know's how to ride It also (Dammit).

My Mx-Ride will be a 4 stroke this year for trikefest. A half worked 350x.

If I still have time I want to build the wife an 86 200x with a Nx250cc liquid cooled engine with electric start.

[4cylinders]

hey, if I ever get my shop cleaned up, may do something with the 3x3. 200x front end, S3 engine, wheelie bar, and some type of rear suspension. maybe dual shock 4link, adjustable without welding.

[84honda200s]

im putting a 440 l/c kowasaki snowmobile engine on my go-kart.

[gplarryv]

got way toooo many

[jenndnn3]

[Yamahondaman]

Derrick - great thread - this will help me put my eggs in a row.

1st - 84 250R- My 2007 Racer - At this point it is just mostly tuning - new reeds - and SUSPENSION. I'll need to find an 85 or 86 front end by spring time. Rear shock needs rebuilt to my weight and I am still playing with the 85 carb on it getting it in check. It will get new black plastics and a matching paint job on the gas tank. I am also going to get a second set of tires ready for it. The 18" lawn tractor tires are fine for some track conditions, now I need either some 19 or 20" muddy condition tires for her. I would also like to fab up a set of nerfs for safety,

2nd - 86 200X - My trail bike - not too much left to do on it. I need to clean/prep/paint some front end components <-DONE and get the gas tank repainted<--DONE. Also - I need to send the seat to the Mosh's. <-- just need the seat back and decals are coming from Harlan next week!

3rd - 83 Blue 110 - Garage Queen - needs some little stuff. rebuild pull start - bearings and new front forks.

4th - 85 250ES-X - my trail cruiser (red-X) - She needs some love. I have ran the piss out of her the past 3 years and she may need some attention. A little fresh paint here and there - and clean her up and routine maintenance that I have been neglecting. <---STARTED

5th - 85 250SX - buddy bike - needs carb work and bearings.

6th - 86 ALT125 - odd ball - needs restoration - needs tore down completely and redone.

7th - 79 110 - custom mini - need finished up - seat needs recovered - electrical needs reworked

8th - 75 90 - seat needs recovered - needs carb work

This should keep me busy until about April.:beer

[BigGreenMachine]

Build my 617cc drag r starting with a 86 r roller and building from there. Rebuild this engine with lots of extras.

More details man! What cylinder is that to get 617cc?

[Bryan Raffa]

update on my work,,,, truck parts are going to the painter saterday.
bought a 39mm pwk off ebay witch is going on the mx bike and the 38mm pj is going on the 85 Z
buying a complete 38mm pwk bored to a 39mm ALKY setup with pump and tubes in the box from chrisD SO.. it looks like the 490 is going ALKY!!!! FOR SHURE!!!!! IT's Gonna S C R E A M !:naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :naughty: :w00t:

[SWIGIN]

im building a ''streched'' 250x for a buddy of mine. to strech one we cut the front of the frame off and rebuild everything behind the a-arms and in front of the motor out of new 1'' tube. plus it will have a plus 2'' swingarm, iv built a few of these in the past and they real handle well and hold up great.

oh yeah i just put a 350x motor in it and just built a 1 3/4'' pipe for it

[russell56443]

Well,If I can get my S**t together and get to Duluth Im going to be fixing up a 83 200E Red that Im buying from mnrebel!!!!!
My first ATC:Bounce ,Im so excited!!!!!!
Otherwise I hope to get the shock forks I got from frankencelery on my KLT,I ride it so much I hate to start because if something goes wrong all I have to ride is my Polaris 4 wheeler:lol:

[firefirefire90]

Well, plans have changed, Bye bye trikes. Maybe I can get a 70 or something to keep me in the looop....Dang..Come so far, but needed money so whatever. Money is money!

[Rex Karz]

So far, I've replaced the fork seals, swingarm bearings, axle bearings, repaired the frame, replaced the exhaust on my 350X, no big deal. It's those little 110's that keep nickel and diming me to DEATH ! Now I need 2 tanks, both of mine are shot. The fun project this winter is the buildup on the race-framed 185. That's gonna be fun, it will be black and florescent orange.

[cr480r]

I hope to have my project done this winter. I am using an 85' Kx 250 motor and frame. I am using forks from a 1985 tecate. The radiator, swingarm(+4"), axle, hubs, pegs, and front fender are from a 1984 tecate I foolishly parted out. For a tank and seat I have chosen parts from a 1988 kdx 200. The engine has a new .050 wiseco in a steel sleeve, mystery porting, ProCircuit pipe, DG silencer, Vforce reeds, and a pwk from a kx500. I am using a k&n inthe kx airbox. I still need to get a Kx rear shock, a front caliper. I need to fab a new sub-frame, grab-bar, and steering stops. I dont plan to use rear fenders, but may trim some LT250 rears to fit. I hope it turns out better than it sounds, I definatley have my work cut out for me...

I dont have any pics yet. Sorry. Hopefully soon I can get back to work on it. The picture in my avatar was my 84' tecate. I have a few pictures of the old beater, but they are a little embarassing...

Oh, I think I may have seen it before on here.

Nope. Not mine. I will post some pics when I have somethin to be proud of. My 84' was a discrace.
