Still trying to finish my 86 R, almost there but my heart sank today when I realized the muffler I have is for a quad and won't work. Now I have no muff, can't find one in time, things ain't lookin good. I picked this up a month ago from some dumb ass kid that had beat it, raped it, and rigged it for the last 8 years. I had to overcome just about every imaginable obstacle to get it back in to shape. He had run it with no air filter, front brakes worn to metal, broke the case out below the shift shaft, broke the sprocket bolt off in the main shaft, trashed the forks, lost the rear caliper, ground chain rollers off and down into the bolts, had wrong exh on it, had a lone star axle that I just today discovered was bent and had a wiped out sprocket hub, and the list just goes on and on. I rebuilt it end to end, was trying to finish it today, and now this. Man am I bummed. On the + side, trikefest motivated me to work real hard to get it at least this far, and now one more 86 ATC250R will live on.
