    Cool My Finished R....3 Grand later. *pics*

    I know it doesn't really look like I just spent 3 grand on it and am gonna get razed about it but $2300 of that was to have the engine professionally rebuilt ( I'm not all that handy, pretty much just cosmetic stuff for me) The rest was for new maier fenders seat and some other small stuff. Its the first time I have used power reeds and i can really tell that they make a difference. I have another 84R that has never had the motor apart and completely original and they don't sound or feel anything alike, which i found surprising. I still have some work to do on it but overall I'm pretty happy with it. Does anyone have any ideas to stop the kick starter from hitting my new Maiers and making scuff marks? Thanks

    Ya they had to replace everything in the engine rod, piston, rings so it basically a whole new engine. Do the reeds change the sound of the engine because it sounds so different then the stock R, like more high pitched or crackly

    Nice aircooler! Building an engine properly requires lots of money. And doing it right the 1st time always saves lots of time, money and frustration in the end. Hope you enjoy your ride as much as i enjoy my crispy 250's........
