    1985 250R Restoration Project

    Now that the 86 250R is basically complete and restored back to OEM, Its time to start the 85 250R. I all ready have the frame back from PC and the engine underwent a complete rebuild, back to OEM of course. The engine has been painted and all OEM Honda Gaskets were used. The engine is back in the frame and the assembly has begun. This one was a little more rough than 86 was. It was missing several parts, and it had a few parts off of an 86 on it. Good thing I kept my notes during the 86 build. A few phone calls and the box of parts arrived! This build will be slower than the 86 because I am also doing an 86 200x and an 87 TRX250R (full mod) at the same time.

    Judging from how well your 86 turned out, this one will undoubtedly be as impeccable. Please document everything including your choice of finishes, colors and plating as I will be attempting a similar rebuild on my 85R this winter (and I always need lots of help [emoji51]).

    Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

    Looking good so far. The work you did on the '86 was fantastic. I'm sure the '85 will be just as nice.

    Not much progress has been made. It's a roller right now. I need to polish the fenders, source a nice set of OEM rear wheels and that's about it.
