My '83 ATC250R Build Up!!!

[oldskool83]

are your sure you wanna ride this after your done...its looking like a show trike

[ForeverThreeWhe]

Ive decided im going to show this a little before i ride it because IT IS pretty nasty looking, a little too nice to thrash on it straight away... that and it owes me a little over $12,000 now. lol Its coming along steadily now Harry. Dont worry though, i will be riding it... one day. lol

Picked these up the other day from the chromer, i had him polish them and took them to my good mate and trike riding buddy's Jamies. He's building the engine. What do you think about the cases?







These also arrived the other day. Ive been staying at my girlfriends place a lot lately and my house mate rang me and asked me the other day if i'd gotten my trike parts, i thought he was talikng about my engine cases from the chromer and i said yes but he was talking about the front end. Its been sitting at my place and i didnt know... till about an hour ago.

I bought this from 250rtrikes on ebay. Its an 85 250R front end. Im still waiting on a polished caliper, front master cylinder and throttle from him too. He does amazing work. BLING BLING BLING!!!

Why is this build not in the best builds section?! I have just finnished reading this entire post, I have to hand it to you, this is by far one of the nicest trikes I have ever layed eyes on and its not even a roller yet! I'm crawling out of my skin to see this thing all put together! I've got an 83 R and wanted to do some upgrades but this just blows the doors off anything I was thinking! You and everyone involved with that trike do some amazing work! Did the 3rd gen rear plastics bolt right up or was there some modifying? Keep after it man, when your all done your gonna have one of the nicest trikes on the PLANET!

[ForeverThreeWhe]

Thank you so much for your kind words guys and thanx for your dedication to this build Harry.
The 3rd Gen fenders are a relatively simple swap. The easiest way to do it is to use all 2nd gen mounting and redrill the 3rd Gen fenders to fit them and the 2nd gen seat. This build round im using the front half of the 2nd gen seat and rear of the 3rd gen seat so everything will flow perfectly then having it custom foamed and covered. This build was never meant to go this far but i just got sick of pulling it down and improving it so i just decided to way over do it and then never have to worry about it again. lol

Wow thats gonna look sweet. I couldn't have anything that nice, i would drive myself nuts trying to keep all the chrome clean.

[ForeverThreeWhe]

The engine is coming along nicely. I'd like to say a big thanx to Jamie for his work on this. He's doing a great job in record time and without his help and encouragement on this build it wouldnt be as far along as it is, it also would have cost me a LOT more than it has.

Thanx Jamie.

Completely insane bike dude, i'm not a huge fan of the air cooled r's but this one is one of a kind and totally badass!! Can't wait to see the rest of your progress and the finished product!! Props to you and your build!!

The bottom end is now complete. I cant thank my good mate and trike riding buddy Jamie enough for building this for me. He built this with the same care and attention to detail that the rest of the trike has recieved. Thanx Jamie!
