Progress of MY 86 R !!!

**Orangecnty250r** · 03-03-2005, 12:40 PM

Well I've been busy for sure. My 250R is close to completion. I have a brand new stock swinger Plus OEM wheels and tires to put on. I do like the extended swinger look though. Also I have to restore my stock grab bar and powder coat it (TRX grab bar on there now) A few other odds and ends to complete but shes almost there!!

You need to reroute the overflow tube from the carb. The one that you have routed over and to the rear of the case saver/chain guard needs to run down the front of the case saver/chainguard.

Just an observation on a nice looking machine.

Thanks!! Looks better

Looks nice man, I wish that I could get my X back in one peice. Every time I start to work on it I change my mind and decide to do something different.

Looking awesome man. I did get those stickers from Harlan...let me tell you they are so darn close to perfect. The differences are:

1) these are much thicker and durable then stock
2) the orginals overlap the red and blue sections slightly in the middle. I think it does not look good.
3) the stock stickers are slightly brigher in the white outline sections.

No one but a purist could tell the difference. Harlan is the the man when it comes to decals....bar none!

Any guesses which is stock and which is original here??

Looks great, glad to see another nice R!

**Darius1502** · 03-03-2005, 06:16 PM

The R is looking good man. I'd love to see a pic of that OEM swinger. Is the paint really nice on it?

Also what about decals?

Richard at www.atcheaven.com has some pro link reproduction stickers. All you can buy now are the Fourtrax ones and these from 86 had black outlines not white like the ATC.

That looks great!!

Thanks Guys!! I left for about 6 hours but left the site logged on. Here's the new swinger from Service Honda. I'm waiting on the front and rear decals because I'm going to try to find something thats not layered vinyl. If I can't I'll pick up some others. Jared Help the 250R's !!!!!

You're lucky one of us "droolers" didn't hack into your computer & steal your bike while you were gone.

**Darius1502** · 03-03-2005, 07:58 PM

OC,

Those decals from Harlan are all one piece. Not layered.

That swinger looks gorgous!!!

I love it!! Hey clean up your frame man...

**twgranger** · 03-03-2005, 08:03 PM

This is off subject but how about a pic of the Z in the back ground?

**Orangecnty250r** · 03-03-2005, 08:05 PM

They are one peice great!!!. Yeah After I put the tecate back together my powder coater is going to town on it!!! He has a perfect match of the red in his shop

I snap some new pics of the Z tommorrow. Still some work to be done on the Z. Now I feel like Ive been neglectful of her. Not going crazy on the Z with restoration right now because I have to ride some of these bikes.
