Ride it like you stole it! And never look back! They are too far behind to see!
Skip or Chris, would one of you two be kind enough to reveal the actual Honda part numbers for the short track shrouds?? I deal with a very old Honda dealer here, who would like to see what he can do with the number. Check old stock in his back room probably. Thanks.
If you can't get a hold of the part numbers then let me know and I'll try to run out to the shed and get them off my shrouds on my short track kit. Listen to ChrisD, you do not have to hack anything to lay the radiators back. It is all a matter of adding a bit of metal to the stock brackets so the rads will fit tight against the new tank. I didn't get any hoses with mine but I am using the stock 250r hoses without any problems. Keep hunting ebay, I bought one for my friends girlfriend so she could give it to hime at Christmas but the $hitbag seller took the money and ran if you find a guy in upstate New York selling one, be careful. The guy that robbed us had a picture of a nice, complete kit but never sent me a thing.

I am still looking for the original part numbers for the "short track radiator shrouds" for the 85-86 ATC250R. Could anyone help me out with these mysterious numbers?? Thanks.
I went back to the junkyard where I found the shorttrack tank. If they had the tank, a bike must have come in with the entire kit on it. I searched through a pile of plastic, 6 sets of stock shrouds and finally found one that looked different. It was wider than a stock one and had a warning sticker on the top of it. "This gas tank is part of a shorttrack kit intended for..............." I almost fell over. I looked in the pile for the other one but could not find it. I was happy with one and the part number but I kept looking. I found the other one at the opposite side of the yard!! I said a small prayer after this. No cracks and each has the Honda wing stickers and the warning stickers all intact!!!!!!!! I also searched for the rad brackets but did not find anything abnormal. I also looked at 6 sets of 85-86 triple clamps. They all were the same. Did the "kit" clamps have any marking on them?? Or were they just like the stock ones without any steering stops?? Thanks and very Thankful.
The triple clamp has a stop on it but it is different than the stock one. Also, the radiator brackets look the same unless you know what to look for. Where the upper bolt goes throgh the bracket and into the frame it is "kicked" foward an inch or two while the stock one is almost straight up and down. If you cannot find the rest of the parts and want to sell what you have, let me know as I am always looking for spares in case mine gets screwed up.

the triple clamp on my bike looks the same. the only difference is that they make your forks sit at a different angle; and yes, it still has stops on it. it is very hard to tell the difference between the two.
Cali,
I didn't notice any difference on the angle of my forks when I put my kit in. What is different? Are they raked more or less?

If you were to look at the tree, it looks the same, but the stops are about 1/4 inch smaller/shorter.
PLJ....did you go to the junkyard in Mount Pleasent? What kind of 250R stuff did they have there?
Cartman, I make it there about once a month. They have a lot of stock front end parts there right now. Triples, forks, radiators, shrouds, gas tanks, etc. Alot of stock pipes, a few axles, one swingarm. one bearing carrier, a few seats, and two cylinders that I saw. No motors, frames, aftermarket parts for the ATC's. No Fourtrax parts, a few older quadracers, one 86 Tecate roller rough, a few 85 Tecates and alot of stock Tri-Z and 200X parts. Thats about it. Let me know what you are looking for, I am heading back on Friday. Thanks.
Could somebody please post the part numbers for the short track shrouds?
I have everything but the shrouds...
Please?
Thanks,
Phil.
