    need some help on a atc250r missle kit with a xr500 engine........

    it looks like it has a 84 250r front end, but the guy was told it was a 85 liquid cooled trike...what im really concerned with is, if its based off a 84 atc250r, would the missle kit work with a 85/86 if i bought a whole trike to swap the missle kit onto...
    thanks for any help.

    That's an 85-86 250r front end. Parts of the frame look to be XR and parts look to be atc250r. Is the fuel tank in the rear? Interesting to say the least. If it was mine, I think I'd leave it just the way it is. In theory you could use the missile parts on another atc250r, but it really depends on how much things have been "adjusted" to fit the xr motor.

    Last I had heard John Kite is still making the Missile Engineering kits, or has the capabilities to.

    Methinks it'd be nice to use such a street legal engine and frame in a missle conversion for a dual sport bike.........
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.
