Dual, Purpose Built 250Rs - build thread

[Mr. Clean]

I then went to work building it for my now Ex-Wife. It took her one run down the TF drag strip to flip it backwards on herself when shifting from 1st to 2nd.

In my book this is as good a reason to get a divorce

I heard a rumor that Danny is sporting a shiny tank? Is this true?

[Mosh]

The guys with the big motors use 3rd through 6th gears. At some point first and second become rather useless. Between TF and Ashtaboooola, we will play with gearing and dial in both of them. It would be nice to gear it such that all six cogs are useable. Not sure if that is realistic though.

Not to start a debate, but back when I was putting it to all the fo fiddys into the first turn on my Halls ported lil 250...2nd is the ticket with a plus 2 swinger. Bunny hop off the line then grab 3rd and let it eat...Its all about feeling the strangle hold on your engine with a balance of throttle opening. . Tuned ported motors with big carbs hit a spot where you can feel them lay over at the line...back the throttle down a fuzz, ride the clutch at the fan point, when the gate drops, gouge the throttle like a WWF wrestler and slam the clutch, let the good grip tires(mx 4s) dig to china and hover that front wheel 8 inches until it is time to turn .... and no chicken wing shifting....ever see a guy shifting and his left arm looks like a chicken trying to fly? Its no good....

......as Ronnie always said, its about outta da hole....master it...love it amaze your friends. ..some guys feel the engine, they build them and have a edge cuz they feel when it makes the most torque...remember torque is what moves ya...2 or 4 stroke..when you know, it makes you faster...

Flyin Brian does 3rd, cuz he is tiny and its STOCK...

Ps..trikes look great.

'Tis Arnold with the shiny tank. Pics to come soon. Arnold is "basically" all done now. I need to get a set of 8" gold rear wheels for his new race shoes. The tank honestly looks perfect and I can not thank you enough!

Arnold is now complete. I just spray bombed a set of 8" wheels I had laying around to mount the 3-Snows to. When I get back from TF - I'll get a set PC'ed to match the front and the other set. This picture is not the best as it was super gloomy out, but then again, this machine is pretty dark, so it kind of works. Other upgrades I want to add in the future - LED upgrade for headlights, and I still need to install the new Hinson clutch. I just ran out of time. The clutch will be fine for drag racing. This machine is for sure the fastest R I have ever ridden. Not saying it is the fastest thing out there, by a long shot, but for me, It's the fastest steed in my stable. Another upgrade is possibly a wheelie bar. I will be talking to lots of people at TF16 and will get ideas from looking at other drag bikes. Drag or Dune - this old girl is ready to rock, and the make over is one I can be proud of for years to come.

3-Snows

4 Snow, it says so on the sidewall Needs some roundy poundys!!!

This picture is not the best as it was super gloomy out

Actually that is some good lighting, no sun to deal with to produce a glare. Early sunrise or late sunset is the "perfect" lighting. My only other recommendation is to kick the front end right, lay on the beautiful green grass, this will make the trike look bigger and move to the left of where you this pic was taken. It will really change the perspective......or do what you like...

Also the "pipe" side is the show side so you got that right and what a piece of artwork it is.....

the make over is one I can be proud of for years to come.

Yes you should be, Trike looks GREAT, AWESOME build.
