I know you are talking about the trike......

Anyway..... Tammy the trike looks great. That extended axle and swingarm will really help out... ( I have seen you ride)

That thing turned out great, it has a great stance, did you have to do anything with the shock, or the brackets to make it sit like that? I also think the pc'd brake lever and foot pegs will really ad to the overall appearance, until it gets covered in mud then it wont matter. Let me know if you guys happen upon another rear end set up like that for next to nothing, i want one for mine...

Thank you. No, I didn't do anything to the shock. The pivot bearings were seized up, making the rear end not re-bound correctly. The pivot bearings is actually why I took on this project. I figured do it all at once.
We thought for sure we were going to have problems with the swing arm bolt. I even got one just incase. But, over the winter, mosh tipped it on it's side and squirted PB blaster down into the bolt. One quick rap witht he air , drove it right out. It turned out, my bolt was fine so I re-used it.

Well, my front hub is just about mint. I have all the OEM peices, to put it back to stock, if I ever decide to. I even have the OEM rear sprocket. I didn't want to PC a nice stock hub. I may find a donor hub later and do that along with my pegs and stuff.

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, everybody.

I am truely happy with my new rear end

Yes you have. I, on the other hand, can't say I have seen you ride. I didn't look back to see just how far back behind me you were

nice bike. MASSIVE and LENGTH in one topic??? Sounds like something was short and puny.

Wow, that's a new one. You must be the first person ever to utter those words about an R swingarm bolt.

Nice job, it looks great.

Tammy - that thing is looking sweet for sure. nice Job. Now - can you beat Rob's 330 on it???? It is a Honda after all - should be no problem!

Nice work guys - the 250R is like McDonalds - "I'm Lovin' it"

LOL...NO. That bike is crazy. I have raced him with a head start, and he always smokes me.....BAD.
Next project is a drag shee. That bike WILL beat his (I hope)

I took the R to Elson yesterday, and I love it. Big difference. I had a blast on it. Can't wait for the next trip

[maggiesboy]

nice work for sure

I'm putting an 86 swinger on my 85 as well. What all parts are needed from the 86 to change over? I have the carrier, axle and brake stay. Will everything else off of the 85 work like the o-rings and the rubber seals that go in at the pinch points? Any other 86 parts that I need?
