This is my latest project. It's in good shape already, but this wonderful machine deserves the A1 treatment!!!! As all trikes do. : )

Here are some initial parts that I'm gonna need minus the piston (on order). But this is just the beginning. She's gettin new fenders, Barnett clutch, powdercoated rims, Complete tank and frame paint plus engine rebuild top and bottom!!! When I took the cylinder off and measured it, I realized it had never been bored. It's gettin bored .010 to clean it up.

Started Sand blasting parts in prep for paint.

I'll update the pics as I restore. I plan on keeping it pretty true to original. Any ideas or comments?

I have a black OEM seat thats soft and plyable. ATC was sitting in a heated garage for 14 years, almost perfect. The rest of the ATC is real cherry too.

I love those early R's that one looks pretty sweet already. They just look raw, and mean. Red motors were sweet too. Everyone seems to devote there time to the 85-86 R's. Cant wait to see the build. Have fun!

Man I totally agree. I love these old 250Rs. I dig the old school look and the simplicity of the bike.
