    Nice gold wheels, the front wheel is an '86 and the rear wheels are '85. The '86 wheels have more of a gold lusture then the more deeper gold of '85. The '85 wheels are made by Hirata and the '86's are made by Enkie (im not sure if i spelled that right). Way to go on the whole build project. You must be the kind of guy who can start and finish a project. Im impressed :-)

    BUSTED!

    I was waiting for this one. Yeah, they are 85's....I was tipped off by the Dunlop tires, but the tread pattern looked nearly identical to the Ohtsu's offered in 86 (and the price was right). I always wondered why the gold color was deeper on the back rims. I almost went to them with steel wool to lighten them up, but decided that was a bad way to treat a surviving set of wheels. Glad to finally know why.

    Wow, I just started restoring a total basket case 86 250r and this thread is truly an inspiration. You did a superb job with this thing!

    I found that PRM swinger skid but I don't see an option for the optional chain slider. Do you have a link? Also does running that skid eliminate the need for the chain rollers/slider?

    It's a $30 option to your skid plate. And I retained all the factory rollers and sliders.
