sorry i didnt reply back earlier, I was out riding it all day trying to burn the full tank of gas so I can pull it to fix the dents...This is what I found out so far:
The front tire and hub looks to be from a 200x, I have 2 others that match up to it, and all the pics Ive seen show drum brakes, right???
it has a small tool box on the rear grab bar, all the 86s I looked at has it as part of the fenders, so ..85 on that part.
Both fenders appear to be Maier and pretty decent , just scuff marks.I found out tonite on Maiers site that they are making the flares for the 250sx for 28.95....showed my wife what I wanted for x-mas!!! and yeh, I took off those butt-ugly flares that were on it....they were actually the plastic pads from a rear bumper on a full size pickup truck!
the headlight pod is red , 86s Ive seen are white, correct?
The seat has been recovered, and not very well! Im thinking of getting a new cover made, white flames into blue. With a white tank it would look good I think. Ive seen new foam for 250Rs that were thicker, anyone know of a site that I might find the same for this one?
the front rim is gold, with grey paintover it, the rear rims are aluminum(sp?), Im going to switch it out with a 200x rim I have so they all match.
after that its going to need upper neck bearings, no biggie, Im thinking about the conversions Ive seen. then its fix the tank, change the rear brake shoes or adjust em better, then find a new decal set to fix it up some.
Im leaning towards a white tank, the 86 decals look better to me, then sand the headlight pod that someone painted and paint it white. I cant beleive after riding the hardtails all these years, I was finally able to ride more than an hour without a break!!!!
who here has a site with the decals for purchase?
I will post the numbers tomorrow from the neck, and it had no year id tag on it, I looked. When I went to my In laws house to ride today, he had a 250 shaft drive engine sitting out behind the shed, so now Ive got a spare, hows that for luck!!!! Im still in awe over this whole deal, for YEARS Ive wanted a sport trike, but they are so rare down here, now here one sits on my trailerDave
