    1986 250R RESTORATION(Barn Find)

    So i'M doing this 86 250r trike build.I picked up this trike at a local farmers place for $300 .He had it tipped over in his barn ,the front fender was cracked and the engine was in a box.The gas tank was white,front fender was cracked.I've been slowly fixin her up.I just had the engine powder coated.Just waiting on crank bearings and seals,and it's ready for assembly.ENJOY...

    you dirty dog!! Thats a sweet find for 3 bills. Thats exactly the kind of R i have been hoping for over the years. great find!!, you dont usually find R's like this, its more the old 110's 125's 200's ect. motor looks great.
