That thing is amazing, but I really don't like the bars at all. You should swap them out with some nice renthals. Great looking R.

Thanks for the replys. Heres a little revival write-up.
84' 250r project bought for $150 and a set of paddles. Pic looks better than it was. Just rode hard and not alot of tlc.

Basicly started with the rear, found out the trike came with a westcoast swingarm, aftermarket spring and extended dura-blue axle.
Here's a after pic. Had to machine the axle and build-up the axle bearing surface. Then polished and clear-coated it as well as the swing-arm.
Had to remove and lathe out the swinger bearings. Then dads got a set for me. Also installed new pads, sprocket, ect..

Mockup;
Installing later model fenders. Had to graph two seats together to fit the stock tank. Then redo the mount pads and latch.
Then started sand-blasting the frame.
After 300 lbs of sand the frame got painted. Now for the fun.
Going together;
Got the swinger on, lubed the bearings and pivots with full syn grease. Then there was a set of tapered steering head bearing and got the same.
Spent a little time polishing the forks and tripples
Got a little more done. The front hub got some work, then playing around with the headlight. Got the twist throttle polished, and pipe bbq painted. Spent some time finishing the seat, molded the foam and attached the material.
It's on all three now.
All the aluminum was polished, widened 200s bars with twist throttle and new grips, new fork seals, brake pads, wheel bearings, ect...
Rebuilt the westcoast swingarm and durablue wide axle. Modded 86' 350x rear wheels. The airbox got a new lid and now has clear sides. Just added double wide footpegs.
Made a grab bar, revived the silenser and pipe, and added a electronic speedometer and 250r emblem.
Bent up some diamond plate fresh air intakes, polished the stainless rotors.
Too much fun.

Finally got the engine in, had to use a different rear sprocket for the chain to fit.
Also made a tool can out of stainless. Love the double wide pegs. Basicly just waiting for the tank to get painted..
Well thanks again for your replies. Oh, the bars were done on the last project. Just had to change up a bit this time............lol.
