my AIR FOOLER 250R(((fresh pics!)))(((short video!)))

[SYKO]

well here is my air fooler, many have forgot that I evan had one.. its coming back together now.. few missing parts that I have to find/buy, the tires on it now are just to roll it around, I was hoping to get it running this friday but that dosnt seem the case.... maybe next week sometime hopefully

this used to have a hondaline 300 big bore kit, it blew up after some serious thrashing for about a year on it, then almost fixed we found some serious cracks in the sleeve, so the project was dumped in favor of a 250r top end in the mean time untill I decide to resleeve my 300 kit other than that is had a rare jemco sectional pipe on it done in ceramic coat anda few other nick nacks but nothing major. all new plastic an updated front end and a bunch of powdercoated parts by fellow triker dreadhed

enjoy I will update pics as it comes together and starts running.

Excellent! Really like that pipe with the heat shield on it. :beer

[250rfreak]

dude dont even bother..... just send me the pipe and headlight and sell the rest.............. j/k looks like a good place to start

[prohemi500]

Nice choice of color on the frame, going to turn out great! ;)

[dreadhed]

That is looking bad ass man!!!

[250rfreak]

dude if you decide not to go through with it i'll buy it from you i have a new screen saver.
but if you would sell it send me a pm......

[Chevy200s]

awesome job man, that falls in along troll's and 1upfront's airfoolers in my book, like the 85-86 style front end on there too, nice work!

[Huffa]

It really looks nice but I just don't get why you repaint everything real nice, have a REALLY nice pipe, then don't bother to detail that ?

That gets a negative from me, take it back off and do it right.

The gold up front seems out of place on it, now that everything is silver, going to keep it that way ?

The forks look crappy too, are they leaking ?

:lol: :lol: :lol: Better get on that Syko right quick.. your pissin Huffa off. :p

[Huffa]

:lol: :lol: :lol: Better get on that Syko right quick.. your pissin Huffa off. :p

What are you doing up, I can't sleep either.

Naaah :lol: , I'm just simply saying what I see, the pipe is so beautiful man, so why not detail it a 100% .

I just don't get when you (a lot of members) "completely" restore a trike then put parts on that don't match the detail of the rest of the machine, just doesn't look good.

[oldskool83]

looks nice...are those sheetmetal hubs? it would looke sweet if it was alittle wider in the rear.

[edog]

It's nice to be different!

I liked looks of it better before.

[Louis Mielke]

Lookin good syko, I'm not mean as Huffa (j/k Huffa) but he is right, that front hub looks kinda outa place, and find some better rear hubs.

[Erics350x]

Looking good man.
What about graphics, any plans?

[oldskool83]

syko...why are your forks are on backwards?

black hubs would look good on that machine.

[SYKO]

its just going together right this min, I setail my machines to the max when I get them together yea the forks are on backwards right this min but its no big deal, its all just temporary, the pipe is mainly dirty from siting on a shelf for almost a year as is the rest of the parts, the rear hubs are temp as I just needed something to roll it around with, and the front hub is going PC chrome, and the handle bars are going as well

[honda250sx]

Alan what tires (sizes,brand) and rims (sizes,brand) did you used to have on it in the old pic? I love that look and want to do something similar. Looks dynamite bro!

[atctim]

Looking Good Syko - I love them Air Foolers~!

Keep up the good work - I really like the 3rd generation headlight and front fender on there.

[250rfreak]

im gonna send you my air fooler and you can make a replica of that one ok?

[Erics350x]

it needs a set of blue bead locks!

[SYKO]

Alan what tires (sizes,brand) and rims (sizes,brand) did you used to have on it in the old pic? I love that look and want to do something similar. Looks dynamite bro!


man I bet I have had 10,000 qestions about that wheel/tire combo, they used to be on my liquid before I raced it out

they are 10x10 itp t-9 wheels with 18x11x10 dico fast trekkers

[250rfreak]

replica? :) :) :)

[SYKO]

replica? :) :) :)


sure no prob! shippin will kill ya though! unless I hear ROAD TRIP!

[Huffa]

Your excused :lol:

Like said, just expressing what I saw, you would not rather paint all the hubs blue like the frame :wondering

[SYKO]

I thought about that, but that damn chrome PC looks so damn nice on hubs I m going to go that direction with it.

[1upfront]

Nice work Alan!!!

[SWIGIN]

I thought about that, but that damn chrome PC looks so damn nice on hubs I m going to go that direction with it.




i agree 100%


why paint a nice factory part.... find some junkers if you need to paint something

[SYKO]

Nice work Alan!!!



thanx man!


I got it sitting back up on a stand again, all I need is a few parts to finish puting it together, im hoping withing a wekk to have her running again, so I can finaly be back on a 2 stroke trike again! to bad it isnt a 300 any more, but at least I can premix the gas again! mmmmm premix....:drool:

[stealthduner]

Looks Awesome Syko

[Huffa]

I thought about that, but that damn chrome PC looks so damn nice on hubs I m going to go that direction with it.

Sure it will look great on hubs but you have no contrast against the wheels then?

I think your overdoing it with silver .

The heat shield would look good in a satin black or frame color for a bit more contrast, you don't think so ?

I can only imagine how that would look with red hubs, fork boots and exhaust system, YES, the whole exhaust in red and a few other parts here and there.

Some may laugh at a RED exhaust, go ahead and laugh, I think it would look stunning but the exhaust would need help with other red parts through out the scheme because it would be just blasting out red in one area, would not look right.

Not that your trike doesn't look mighty fine now, I'd do it different though concerning contrasting parts.

[Tri-ZNate]

Looks great syko, but I do agree with the huffinator on the exhaust shield (a blue that matches the frame would look great).

OR another option is just Chrome every inch of that thing :naughty: "My Favorite Color Is Chrome". Blind all the competition when they pull up :lol:

[edog]

Chrome..."LOOK AT ME" "LOOK AT ME" "LOOK AT ME"lol

[Huffa]

Chrome..."LOOK AT ME" "LOOK AT ME" "LOOK AT ME"lol

:lol: :lol: :lol: That cracked me up, because I have seen your trike more then anyone elses on here !

You post 3-4 different angles of pic's for every mod you do, so your the "LOOK AT ME" "LOOK AT ME" "LOOK AT ME" MAN :lol:

I happen to like chrome myself, it just gives a very clean look and love how parts reflect off it.

I like huffinator wheelie pop :lol: sort of fits me since I have been accused of being :twisted: mean at times but I just frankly say what I see and some don't like that, ya can't possibly be positive a 100% of the time on here, ya know.

Now Skyo, :mad: :mad: repaint that heat sheild blue!! :D

[edog]

Maybe something like stock bolt VS Aftermarket.
Maybe something on thread pitch or bolt restoration?:lol: :beer

[Dirtcrasher]

Thank GOD it doesn't have any stupid HONDALINE GARBAGE, LOL...

Looks good SYKO!!!! Mucho better than the stock red with black power plant.

[SYKO]

thanx DC I agree with yea n the hondaline parts!! personaly whats fun in having something like this if you cant make it your own and enjoy it???

[tri-Z ripper]

Thats a nice looking airfooler! that gonna be a racer of a just a rider!

[Tatersaladx]

The thing looks great. One question tho, How did you spaint the tank shrouds, and get them to come out so good?

[Tri-ZNate]

[SYKO]

Syko let us know how the 300 kit makes out


it didnt make out, the jug is sitting in a box in my house, a regular 250R top end is on it now... I have another endeavor and may not ever even fix this 300 kit.

[SYKO]

got a coil coming for it and applied the new decals today, will post pics later, this weekend I will get the forks back were they should be put all the front/rear brakes on and do a few more things then just wait till I get the coil to get this beast moving again.

[SYKO]

[Louis Mielke]

bdawgs plastics ALWAYS!

[250rfreak]

does the headlight bolt up or do you have to modify it?

[SYKO]

does the headlight bolt up or do you have to modify it?

goes on just like it would on a 85-86 250R without a hitch!

[jmsmilin]

It's nice to be different!

I liked looks of it better before.yeah I like the OG look better, but Im sure its gonna be sweet

[fla 2-stroke]

man that looks awesome!I love the look.

[NINJA]

That thing is lookin sweet Syko sonofab***h! Ever consider tryin a 290 kit instead of the 300? Then it would be a sleeper motor. Stock on the outside, big bore on the inside.

[SYKO]

I thought about it momentarly but I have plans for other machines, so this one may go on the blocks soon.

[TwoHundredEx]

That looks awesome!
I've been wanting to know what a blue and white R would look like for a while, I love those 2 colors together, just looks so clean. Nice job.

[NINJA]

I thought about it momentarly but I have plans for other machines, so this one may go on the blocks soon.

Yeah well sometimes it's better for a gorilla to listen to a ninja.:beer

[The Goat]

Yeah well sometimes it's better for a gorilla to listen to a ninja.:beer

yeah well sometimes it's better if both the gorilla and ninja listen to the goat..cause you see, if you don't, I'll eat pieces of your bike. :w00t:

coming along very nicely syko...damnit I wish I would have had a trailer with me last weekend. I might have stole your pink blaster as well.

[SYKO]

hey the blaster is for sale as well!! makes a nice chick quad!!

well anyway finaly fired this air fooler back up today! ran great! untill...I ran out of gas...unfortunatly I only had enough premix to fill the float bowl...so tomorow it will run al the way. and need to pick up a chain link, sounded good and tight though so thats a plus, real happy that its going to run well

[SpeedyTide]

Looks tight!! :twisted:

[SYKO]

some more pics of it.... its running great, still got to tighten a few bolts here and there but nothing major..

[Eric250R]

I've honestly neve been a big fan of the air foolers, but that thing is freakin sweet. Great job.:beer

[Tri-ZNate]

Shaweet! Came together nicely. I take back everything I said :beer

[thefox]

That finished up looking sweet! Now don't be tempted to take it easy on her....

[Louis Mielke]

Thats one sweet airfooler. Makes me wanna build one.

[Bryan Raffa]

HOT HOT HOT ! like it Alan, ever think about polishing the lower fork tubes?
and what on earth is that car doing with side steps?:crazy: should have went with side pipes..:naughty: Keep up the good work!!!

[atctim]

How did you get the engine finish that way? Paint???

Anyway - Looks great - sweet Air R

[SYKO]

the engine finish is just engine enamel, the difference is that I clean the engine and sand it before applying the paint, Ive done a few engiens with it and it holds up great over a long period of time, and as for polishing, I may still do it, but im unsure yet, and as for riding it hard, I ride all my machines no matter how nice they are, but this one will only get ridden a little bit as its allready sold.

[Black86tri-z]

nice r but i'm a little disapointed to see no wheelie bar scraps on that bumper, GET TO WORK!

[SYKO]

you got to know how to wheelie man! wheelieing without hitting the grab bar is tops! perfect controle and techniqe! one way to learn is take off your grab bar! then if you goto far its CURTINS for ya! lol!

[Black86tri-z]

belive me i know how to wheelie but when your bounce it at 50-60 mph some times it hits

[maggiesboy]

Looks great Syko. Who is the lucky new owner?

[SYKO]

finaly took ol girl out for a spin....reall snapy powerband, decent bottom, crazy midrange that pulls to the top, since this is a 250 now instead of a 300 I can tell it revs way faster then before. The down side to all this, top end speed, it could use a 1 tooth up front or 2 tooth down rear to pick it up better, it was nice to wick a 2 stroke trike sideways again! If my neighbor kid come by I will get him to take a vid of me riding it

[The Goat]

very nice looking syko, pity it wasn't ready when I picked up my X from ya, I just might have brought two home that day.:w00t: :w00t:

i just wanna see it in person, i bet its quite the beauty.

[SYKO]

here is a short video, easy 1st kick start even when cold, zoom zoom bytches!


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKmitd8q6d8

[edog]

Dude weve all seen R go fast bro.Now get that biatch on a MX tack.lol

What's it like 70 degrees there?:rolleyes:
That's frecking cold man.:D
I am out working in the garage and its 20 degrees out and i am wearing a short tee shirt and a thin jacket.lol:eek:



:TrikesOwn Nice R Buy the way!!!!!!!!!:TrikesOwn

[Tryzeedudeman]

that thing is really nice, love the color scheme. Sounds like its runnin perfect.

[SYKO]

Now get going on that poor 350x....:beer


hey been under a rock lately??? that 350x is long gone...... the magnificent GOAT has it now!

[SYKO]

bah! its a four stroke! I kept trying to pour premix in the tank, thinking it might get lighter and go faster, and damn that rock!
