Getting Old and Slow Bought me a stock 88 250R!
« on: July 22, 2013, 09:59:23 AM »
Picked this up this weekend, going to make this my duner maybe trail rider, rode a 250r for 20 years but only in the sand

Took the pictures with my phone so they are not the best but it pretty much is all stock, has the factory pipe, OEM plastic that have no cracks but have lots of scratches but Mop and Glo made them look allot better.
He bought the stainless bolt kit which I really dont like, so I will be looking for the factory bolts to back in it to make it 100% stock

Awesome! Love a stocker, especially an '88. Real NICE!

If you ever want to get a 100% seat cover, I'd recommend the Mosh's work. They are a small family owned business. Great to deal with. "Cosmic Quads"

They did my '89 cover and have done premo '88 covers as well. Very good quality!

thanks guys! 20 years ago my first ATV was a used 88 and have always liked the all red bikes. Its not a museum piece by no means but its mostly all stock.
I think I did alright on it for 2800.00 and not needing anything
The frame has been power coated and new stickers are on the plastics, I need a toolbox for it and a air box lid for now.
Maybe in a year or two I will strip the decals off to sand and buff the plastics, no cracks in them but they really have allot of scuffs and scrapes I just used Mop&Glo and some quick detailer wax on it for now, Looks great in a picture or 10 feet away.
Mostly bought to dune ride with the wife when she feels like taking a spin around the park, we setup camp at the drag strip and haul the bikes in on a platform mounted to the top of the bed rails of my truck so I can have both my drag bike and dune bike with me.

I know where there is a Saber that will fit nicely into that "Duner" chassis... LOL!  

Nice bike Dave, I've got the matching 89 if you want a "set".... LOL!

Very nice.  That may be the only quad that want and would leave stock.  Or mostly stock anyway.

thanks Andy that seat looks awesome! I will keep that in mind because I do want to make it look all stock but probably not as nice as your restorations :)

Believe me I thought about building a duner with the saber but trying to keep it simple my drag stuff can be a pain with all the maintence and tuning.

Your 89 is so nice! it really makes my bike look lame :(
