there has been an 86 chassis on ebay for a while now with a removable subframe for $800 buy it now. i have been saving up for a new frame because my current one has been welded, rewelded and broken too many times to count. i sent the guy an offer of $300 free shipping with the message "i know this has been listed for a long time, what will you take for it", and he accepted the offer :) got it in the mail last tuesday along with my pumashine gussets :)
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20141129_125356.jpg)
i was pleasantly surprised when i received it, as the only real damage is 2 stripped out front bumper holes. no cracks breaks or rewelds anywhere, yay :) i am kinda bummed, as it is an 86 though and i wont be able to use my nice billet front esr motor mounts anymore, so anyone looking for a set i will have some for sale soon.
the subframe seems to be a quality made piece, i dont know if this was something an aftermarket company made back in the day or if this was homemade, but it is nice. if anyone knows, let me know it seems like there was a sticker on the left side but has been peeled off.
the only mounts are the rear brake master cylinder and the grab bar. no exhaust mount at all, so i am currently making a tiny jig piece to properly weld on a new exhaust mount. it doesnt bother me that the overflow tabs are missing, because it is going up under the front plastics, and would have been cutting them off anyway. i was thinking about putting a gusset in the rear angle of the subframe, but this thing is naked so as to be as light as possible, why go back and add more weight to it.
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20141129_125525.jpg)
after the gussets get welded in, it will be getting some sexy powder(multi-stage candy), i havent really decided on color scheme yet though.
other modifications going along with this, this winter will be a RIS designs rear brake caliper and stay, a crf rear master cylinder either polished or powdercoated, havent decided yet, powdered radiator shrouds to match main frame, powdered LED muffler canister to match frame, send my shaws to tim for a revalve and rebuild, and my 3rd and final revision to my peg design, that i think you guys are really going to like(no previews until they are done lol). stay tuned for progress :)
-
dont forget about your rear shock resi! I cant tell where yours is currently, but if it needs to go on the subframe, make that too! Looks like you got a pretty awesome deal Jesse!
-
thanks m8. no worries on the rear shock rezi, only running a shaw on the back at the moment, if i ever do go back to a sprung shock, i will just make a couple rezzi clamps and clamp it to the upper rail of the subframe.
i kno the subframe and the pegs are going to be cloud white(yes pegs lol), but i havent decided on a mainframe/silencer/shroud color yet, all i know is the red has to go, i hate it lol.
-
Sounds like you got a good deal on that one. I know Walsh makes or made an aluminum subframe kit for stock frames to lighten them up for TT racing.Yours looks like a home made job by the welds but still looks like they did a good job.
-
yea i dont know what to think about the subframe, because the welds on the main angle of the side of the subframe, and the welds where the heims screw into the ends where it mounts looks perfect and professional, but the welds for the grab mount and front seat rubbers look like dog crap. :suspicion::suspicion::suspicion: confusing
-
got some more fab work done on my chassis lately. first i welded in the swingarm pivot gussets (thanks tony). i think they turned out decent. also notice its an 86 and it has a 87-89 rear motor mount welded in already, thats nice.
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150121_175809.jpg?t=1421843380)
here is a shot where u can see where previous owner put in a square tube gusset under the front motor mount, i like how it matches the frame
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150121_175912.jpg?t=1421843467)
since there was no exhaust mount on the subframe i had to make a stud then cut the compound angle into the back of it so it sits perfect on the subframe round tube. to do this i made a little mini jig referenced from a good frame, that mounted to the grab bar mount to locate the stud. after turning it, i could have spent gobs of time measuring the compound angle of the subframe tubes and cnc'ed it, but i figured it would be easier to just eye ball it a little at a time, so i chucked it in the old bridgeport and went to work hoggin it out. it turned out decent. this was the first aluminum i have welded in like 3 years and yes i kno it was sloppy, but after being cleaned up it will look nice and smooth under the powder :)
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150121_174717.jpg?t=1421843559)
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150121_175017.jpg?t=1421843563)
lastly i cleaned up all the other sloppy aluminum welds around the grab bar mounts, they will look nice and smooth after a couple coats of powder
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150121_174838.jpg?t=1421843563)
next i gotta put some elbow grease into polishing this thing up, she is quite dull.
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150121_180204.jpg?t=1421843563)
after i get my new front motor mounts end of this week (thanks tony), i will mock mount the motor in the new chassis so i can weld in my new motor mounts, weld the steering stem support gusset, then it will be ready for powder :)
-
Dude that's awesome! I've been seeing that frame for almost a year (at least) on ebay. I'd actually get mad when I saw it and at how much he wanted although it is a step up from stock. You got a deal no doubt, good job!
-
Looks good so far! Nice fab skills.
-
i will mock mount the motor in the new chassis so i can weld in my new motor mounts:)
I was just going to suggest that.....if that 88-89 rear motor mount was a homemade job I would definitely mock up the engine before I put nice powder on the frame.
Looking great so far
-
here is a shot where u can see where previous owner put in a square tube gusset under the front motor mount, i like how it matches the frame
I think this tube under the front motor mounts came from the factory like that, only on 86 frames though. Looks great so far, nice to see all the steps and care taken to do the job right.
-
ya tbone, it was welded in by someone, but it looks to be the stock tube from an 87-89 frame, not just a homemade jobber. hopefully everything lines up!
thanks [MENTION=133]mx250r91[/MENTION], i never knew that so i googled others, u are right they are on all 86's.
one question. how do you get ball joints out of the tapers using a seperator without tearing the rubber boots? or can you even.... i have never been able to.
-
mocked the motor in the frame this weekend, and the welded in rear motor mount doesnt line up.
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150125_114327.jpg?t=1422187110)
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150125_114519.jpg?t=1422187114)
as u can see one side does come close and would be safe with just a little obrounding of the hole, but the side that the hole is already obround, is way off. i was thinking of just obrounding that hole so the motor would mount, then welding a washer on for support, but id think the welding on the thin tab would make the thin tab brittle.
my other option since i dont have the bottom rear mounts welded in yet, is to just cut the 87-89 upper rear mount tube out, and use the 86 style cradle rear motor mount. i wanted to get a different swingarm anyway, so this would be the time to do it.
what would you guys do?
-

You don't need to use a separator. They will tear things up. Instead using a hammer tap on the knuckle around the tapered stud for the ball joint. Keep moving and tapping and it will eventually come loose. This has always worked for me every time I've tried it. It may take a little more than a tap but still less force than a full force whack
-
No! Put motor mounts in, you have the abilities to do it, so do it now. Because when you want to switch swingarms in the future, you can run any style and won't be limited. Take the time and make the mounts. I did this research a while ago and can't quite remember which aftermarket frame it was, but one of them only used the lower mount, not the top. And it was a big name like laeger or Walsh. I'll try and find my old thread.
-
http://trx250r.org/threads/2902-Rear-motor-mounts-on-an-86
-
so ur saying you would just use the lower rears and not the upper ones?
-
No, I'm saying its an option. A dude as skilled as you should make all the mounts. You won't regret it. I eventually did all 3/16" motor mounts. Im far from skilled at this, so I'm sure yours will look much better.
-
Laeger frames only use the bottom mounts, but to me it's kind of annoying.
I'd vote for welding in a new rear upper mounts
-
im always looking for justification to cut corners tho! LOL.
i will do it right and take my time and cut it out and reweld it in the right place i guess lol.
-
picked this sucker up yesterday
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150126_183343.jpg?t=1422275212)
from a crf, i read somewhere it would bolt right on, nope.
trx bolt spacing is 45mm, this crf bolt spacing is 49mm. close but nope. also it needs a longer shaft going to the brake pedal.
instead of hackjobbing the shaft, i am going to leave the same short shaft, and make a small billet bracket to adapt it down slightly to reach the pedal. also will look much better without the long hose and remote reservoir up on the upper subframe.
more updates coming soon!
-
Oh I like that!!!!!!!
-
finished the rest of the gussets, ignore the spatter ;)
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150127_184835.jpg?t=1422360496)
cut out and rewelded top rear mount, also got the bottom rears in, everything lines up beautifully now.
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150127_185129.jpg?t=1422360500)
-
here is my solution to the crf brake master. it needed to be shifted down so the shorter piston plunger shaft could reach the pedal, and the bolt spacing was larger than the trx mount, so i cut this from some 6061 yesterday
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150127_183705.jpg?t=1422360500)
mounts to the back of the master like this
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150127_183911.jpg?t=1422360500)
this is how it will look on the side of the subframe, using the original trx master cylinder mounts
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150127_184054.jpg?t=1422360500)
really simple solution, instead of cutting and moving the mount on the subframe, and welding longer threaded rod to the pushrod at the bottom. i made this 1/2" thick, but probably could be made smaller maybe 7/16".
i think it would look really good polished up since the master is polished, but im just going to powder it to match the subframe, less maintenance polishing in the long run that way.
everything will be going to powdercoaters on saturday morning.
-
That's a trick piece. If I ever do that mod I'll have to make one of those. Nice work.
-
Might as well start making some of those up jesse!
-
lol. it is a good piece, and would be really cost effective if someone wanted to waterjet them *cough @Pumashine (http://trx250r.org/member.php?u=9) cough* lol.
i do have another piece of stock sitting here i could cut one more and send it for someone to test to see if 1/2" is strong enough, as i think its overkill and pry could be 3/8 or 7/16" thick.
-
Very nice mount!
-
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150220_174913.jpg?t=1424450027)
got some stuff back from polisher today, should have frame back from powdercoat next week. getting anxious to start building lol.
-
Oh wow! Nice work!
-
Looking good. I like that crf master. Makes for a cleaner look without the master resi. Just a heads up. Nissin rear master cylinders share a lot of guts between models. I wouldn't be surprised if the push rod and plunger from the trx fit in the crf master. Still doesn't address the spacing issue.
Trx plungers are discontinued. I found that a plunger from a z400 is a perfect replacement part. The body of the z400 has the wrong dimensions to bolt on the trx frame. A little off the subject. Sorry.
Back to the build!
-
You should polish out that rear subframe to match the rest of your other polished stuff.....
-
always good to know what cross references, thx josh.
I wanted to polish the subframe initially, but could not find a local polisher before I took the rest of the parts to powder, so I just took it to get coated. sure enough after I took all the stuff to the powder coaters I found a local polisher lol.
-
still waiting on my powder coater grrrrrr.......
anyways got my new pipe, i was going to go with raw until i found local polisher to make everything look like mirrors again, figure my pipe may as well match. new style 350g

finally going to pick up frame from powdercoater monday, which i will then be able to mock up and finish making the frame mounts for these. let me know what u think, im pretty happy how they turned out.

Holy shit! Those pegs are fkn awesome! Cut me a set in stainless? I'll do the welding. Seriously I'd like a set if possible. Pretty please

-
Might as well start making some of those too lol
-
Yea those are the sickest pegs ive seen yet!! Badass dude!!!
-
Pegs are killer!
-
Then pegs are boot eaters man! I love them, but in curious to see how your foot feels after a day of riding with no supports down the center of it. Keep me posted!!
-
thanks, they arent nearly as wide as the first ones i made a while back, only 2" i think so they should be fine without a support down the middle, i think they just look big bc i took the picture so close up.
josh i dont have any stainless to cut them from but if i did, they wouldn't be custom since someone else would have them then right? ;)
-
I love the look of the heat marks on welded stainless.
Your pegs with the 250R in the middle is custom if you ask me. That's dam slick.
-
ya they are custom, i guess i meant they wouldnt be one-off if someone else had them besides me lol. just got back from powder coaters. looks amazing, it is gloss white with gold flake in it, then clear top with tons of silver flake in the clear. the pictures are crap compared to looks in person, the flake depth is crazy. i cant wait to see what it looks like in the sun!

wife started experimenting with making the seat cover, she didnt understand what i meant by putting a seam down both sides because the material doesnt stretch so it has to be upholstered to the shape of the seat as u can see lol. good thing i got enough material for a couple of them ;)
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150302_180718.jpg?t=1425257427)

also picked up these ebay specials.
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150302_191949.jpg?t=1425259295)
going to be LOTS of white but the way i picture it in my head it is going to be a sexy duner :)
-
Looks fresh. I like white frames but I don't think white would do good here. I ride in red dirt.
Pegs would be one off in Hawaii;)
-
made just a little progress today. mostly just did a bunch of little things.

she said size does matter, and if its big enough theres no need for added ribs. im a believer, even tho it is huge it was a perfect fit.

update
finally got some stuff put together yesterday

I'm very impressed with your work on this Frame, great job, looks amazing. I also got a simple yet obvious tip from your photos, so smart to put the Tie rod ends to the stem first with out the rods / A-arms and everything else in the way trying to get your wrenches in there. Probably such a simple idea I look like a fool just pointing it out ha!
Either way, the project looks awesome!
-
thanks alot. i am very glad i spent the extra time cutting and welding the motor mounts into the right spots, with the powder on the mounts the motor slipped in with a perfect slip fit, and will all new motor mount bolts and nylon nuts i feel this thing is going to stay together and last.
yes i realized that trick along time ago, alot easier to put the ends on the steering stem when the stem is outside of the frame then down inside all those frame rails, its the little things like that, that make assembly alot more stress free :)
i am having a horrible problem with the swingarm though :(
the bolt that holds the front chain slider had broken off, im sure they guy who owned it previously lock-tited the piss out of the screw for some reason and it snapped off inside. i tried to drill it and use an extractor yesterday, sucker was so stuck i broke the extractor off in the drilled out screw. so today i am going to chuck a 3/16 ball end mill in the drill and try to hog it out. those extractors are hardened and i dont know really any other way to get it out.
besides having to put keyed inserts in the foot peg mount holes that is the only other hassle i have had with this build so far *fingers crossed*
-
packed and put this together today, the decal on the white is REALLY going to stand out, i like :)

Hey I like that
-
Those white hoses look good against the white frame!! White plastics also??
-
I just noticed that. Looks great. Winter chassis replacement, no joke. Its like frozen themed
-
frozen lol. yea pat white carbon fiber meier plastics.
mail man dropped some stuff off today. seat is very comfy. time to get to work.

-
Weld a nut on that broke bolt and back it out with a wrench :D
-
didnt even cross my mind seeing how it was one of those itty bitty 6mm's, and it was broke down into the hole. i did get it all out with a carbide end mill chucked in the drill tho.
got some progress this weekend. intake tract and exhaust on, front end buttoned up.

put in orders for chain and sprocks, shockwears and outerwears, and new clamp on uni yesterday. glad to be in the home stretch finally, i wanna rideeeeeeeee
now that my foam is here i gotta get the wife to restart on my seat cover, hopefully sometime this week.
the new 350g clears the rear radiator hose by just about a half inch, so u dont have to worry about it smashing up into that, although it does look like it is still going to vibrate around and rattle on the frame down in the front where it goes through. i think that has to do with how the expansion chamber hangs from the top motor mount instead of being mounted down at the front motor mount like esr pipes, which would make the mounting much more solid @ledperformance (http://trx250r.org/member.php?u=276). other than that, great upgrade in design.
-
That thing looks awesome. Great attention to detail.
-
About a year ago i sent that guy a 350 dollar offer on that frame and he turned me down. Guess it all worked out! Your buildin a beautiful R with that frame, not many stock frames with the personality of a removable subframe!
-
It's looking nice Jesse! :applouse: Remember to have your daughter, wipe clean the tools and put them away. Only one of my three boys, ever mastered this skill. :encouragement:
-
ill remember that fred ;)
getting closer to having her done. drilled and tapped frame for keyed threaded inserts, they are now good to go as soon as pegs get back from chrome.
(http://i1251.photobucket.com/albums/hh548/JesseA421/20150322_180715.jpg?t=1426986036)
got brake caliper put on, new chain and sprockets, also clamp on uni with water repellant outerwear. got an orange one because i thought that would go the best with my ostrich seat.

i fired it up, i love the smell of vp110xKlotz. also she sounds so good with the short silencer. and by good i mean loud :D
so whats left..... waiting on getting my seat done, pumashine stealth shrouds, pegs to get back from chrome, finish making a new clevis for my crf brake master, and will more than likely get new decals from cranked up gear.
-
That thing is f'ing SWEET!
What bend are those bars, raptor?
-
Looking gooood!!!!
-
Is the radiator the same size as stock? Just asking as it concerns the shrouds.
-
What bend are those bars, raptor?
not sure, but they look close to a stock raptor bend. i just assumed they are stock chromed 250r bars.
Is the radiator the same size as stock? Just asking as it concerns the shrouds.
im sure it is the same width and height, just thicker. it is a pwr

Those are sick, the only thing I think you might be missing is a little support in the middle! all the other bigger pegs you see have at least one more row of support spikes. Just my 2 cents?
Thanks Higgy!

thanks higgy, if i had another row i couldnt have the awesome logo down the middle ;). in all honesty i think they will be alright as they are not as wide as the blingstars or roll pegs, they are only like 2" wide so i think they should be alright. if im not mistaken the reason for the center row on the wide pegs is so your foot doesnt bow in..... or up? that would be the only reason i could see justifying putting the extra row down the middle, and at only 2" i dont see any way your boot will flex down in between the 2 rows of spikes.
or am i way off? i dont know lol thats just my theory anyway.
hardware will for them will be here today will get pics of them mounted this evening :)

mounted, fit my long legs perfectly :)

going to get a new upp intake manifold to fit the 39, since it was a bit cold out when i pressed it into the stocker it slightly split. i thought the clamp would cover it up, but i can tell it is sucking air a slight bit. dangit.
-
Looking very good.
-
Bike looks sweet! It reminds me of my buddy's all white JD 280 from back in the early 90's. Everybody called it the ghost bike. Your's is a lot cooler than his was though.
-
This is awesome. I love the all white look.

thanks for the compliments guys. my new decals should be out for delivery finally today so i will post up some pics of the finishing touches soon. :)
-
Pretty sweet !! I like the pegs.

here is the upp intake for big carbs. going to be honest, i dont like it. it is actually too big for a 39mm keihin. also it seems the mold was messed up or something, because one side of the intake where the carb clamps in is very thin, and the other side is plenty thick. the material is very elastic-y and i yanked on it pretty hard with the carb in the boot and it didnt rip though so i am not too worried about it ripping, just seems like a sub-par quality. also since it is so big, and the material is very slick, i cannot just loosen the clamp slightly and rotate the carb to change main jet, as even the slightest loosening of the clamp and the carb pops out. hope it dont pop out while im riding, i will definitely be taking the stock one with to the sandbox first time out. here is a pic, also got some nice new vent lines.

nelson precision machining crf rear brake reservior cap. since it mounts backwards on the trx the logo is pointing the wrong direction but it is still nice looking, what do ya think [MENTION=27]Trx250r[/MENTION]?

my apologies for crappy phone pics it was raining when i took them. how does the orange decals look? they seem almost red to me but the wife says the look plenty orange. i am color blind a bit.
all in all i am pretty happy with how it turned out. she is done for now, i will get some pics in the sand when i get out there in a month or so. :)

Looks bitchen with the graphics, good choice........ No need to rotate the carb to change jets, just use a 1/4" ratchet to break the jet loose than spin the jet out with the socket by hand.
-
The last UPP big manifold I bought was the exact same way. Quality is piss poor. Thin on one side thick on the other. And yes, slick. I have a engine on the bench. It also has a big UPP manifold. Much better quality but the thing fell apart when I touched it. As if it dried out so much it just crublmed.
Did your wife sew that seat cover? If so I apploud her. Looks good! Is npm making covers for the crf master or was that a one off piece? You and higgy use those masters. I think I'll soon to follow. I dislike the rear master resi floating around.
-
i may just squeeze it back in the stock manifold, i havent decided yet. ill leave it to see if it pops out while im riding.
nah my wife refused when i bitched about her first attempt that i would bitch about every little thing and wouldnt be happy no matter what, so i sent it to sandy at cosmic quads she did a great job.
yes NPM stocks the crf master cover, nice piece to round out the build as i think that was the only last thing that wasnt new or replaced with something shiny lol. that is the main reason i switched, less is more clean look :)

just got back from the sand, bike ran great. weather couldnt have been nicer and was nice and leisurely for a change, only me and the wife went instead of a huge group. trip got cut short, when my wife was stomping on her shifter and broke the linkage LOL. heres some pics.
