[Bryan Raffa]

Guess what I found for ya.... the first time it was fired at TF08 ..I think it was me ,billy and louis standing there...LOL better late than never... Bahhahahah..

[Bryan Raffa]

does it still smell like??? well you know

[Dirtcrasher]

THANKS RAFFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I though that video was gone for good....

Imagine this, built from start to finish in 20 days. Cobbled together from about 5 different ATC200X's.

would ask me "which CDI do you wanna use" and we'd just pick out the best one. That was my assembling procedure for every single part

Trailered it all the way to TF08 and it started after a couple of kicks! We honestly never put one drop of gas in that machine until we got there!! I didn't even have a good tank to run until SYKO painted mine and Billy brought it to me at TF08.

Now it's on full race gas and after yesterday, it's good enough for Pennsatuckafuckayuckaway!!

Too bad I won't get the Durable axle in for the ride but that will be soon. I just wish I could find a Westcoast swinger for it

Got any pics of this Durablue? I have one on my 86, and from what I can tell it seems to be the only one in existance for the 2nd gen 200x's.

I'll get some up soon.

It's actually an 83/84 250R axle, thats why I need the brake hub!!

If you have a true 86/87 200X Durablue, it's the only one I've heard of Got some pics of yours??

[SeaBass8]

Hey Steve I think the 1st gen 200x brake hub is the same as the 83/4 250r brake hub. The look really close. Maybe take a look to see if they have the same part #.


Edit: Looks like the disc is the same # but the hub is off by just 1 #. I looked at 200x and 250r both 1984.

[honda250sx]

Stephen! LOL I love you MF'ING em, you gotta get the oil up there!!!

Instantly - It's 400 degree paint, it burns right off. Hahahahahahahahaha.

Too bad she's a whole new animal now. Awesome vid!

Quote Louis...

"Man that sucks" Boy is he right....

[Nick_R_23]

Heres some pics of mine. I think its +4 overall, I dont know if its from the axle or the hubs, or if the hubs are Durablue also. I think they are though. This is the only aftermarket part on the whole machine, the rest of it is stock. I dont have the slightest clue how to tell if its for the 2nd gen 200x or something else.

HAAA

Who cares if thats your only mod!!

That sprocket hub screams NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And uses the stock axle locking nut?

Thats not your only mod - whats up with that skidplate!!

Thanks for sharing :

[Nick_R_23]

I think they can use the stock axle nut, I also have a Durablue on my 250r and it has a stock nut on it too.

The skidplate is the previous owners handiwork, note the sockets as spacers in the front and the piece of pipe as the rear spacer. Along with the homemade parking brake blockoff and grab bar. They also managed to stuff a 1st gen tank on there too!! Its definately gonna take a bit to clean up.

I gotta admit, when I first got this, I thought it was a real dog when I rode it. Until I realized they had adjusted the clutch about 3/4 of the way in, now it rips pretty good!!

So would you say this axle is actually for the 86/7 200x's??

Sorry about jacking your thread!! Haha..

-Nick

[Nick_R_23]

If anyones interested, I contacted Durablue about the axle I have, this is the response I got:

I did make an axle for the ’86 200x. It was only a one year model and I discontinued it for lack of sales. That was probably back in the early ‘90’s. So, it is likely you have one.

Gary

So apparantly Durablue axles for the 2nd gen 200x do exist, they are just really few and far between.

I finally installed the extended 1984 250R DuraBlue axle into my 86 200X this weekend. The member above who has a true 86 200X has ONE RARE AXLE!! But, these 84 axles work just fine. I think overall it's all about 8" longer than stock I'm gonna use 85 200X hubs as soon as I coat a couple and that should bring it down to about a +6" overall which is just fine.

I'll tell ya though, the thing rails corners like nobody's BID-NESS!!!!

It required grinding the sprocket bolts down which I'd much rather do than grind my carrier like some people have done. I also had to space over the caliper about 10MM with a nut for now but I'll machine up an aluminum spacer as soon as the garage clears out a bit.....

I also found that although it fits the bearings just fine, the seal journals on the axle are 42MM and stock is 44MM. So I need 2 seals 2MM smaller ID than stock which are actually OEM 84 250R seals.

So, I wanted to try it and I "DID A DEEPA!!" I used duct tape to build up the journals about 1.75MM and then nice smooth electrical tape for the final finish of 2MM over stock. I wound the tape in an opposing direction to the rotation of the wheel so the tape won't unwind itself. I just couldn't run it or I'd get dirt and water in my fairly new bearings.

Here are the HACKED UP PICS: Note that the 20$ TUSK Stainless Rotor fits the 84 250R hub



Axle - I did cut the tape off flush before installing.....



And here it is all installed, fricken WIDE!!:





I guess all thats left is a Works rear shock and a 250R front end and someone to build me a stroker crank for the next motor I'm ready to start, but this thing really does boot VERY WELL!!

It's always good to look for more power!!
