Nice keep the updates coming. What size motor 350?
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: broken1 on August 18, 2017, 07:50:55 PM
Looks like a good start... It's probably obvious but what does BOF stand for?
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: hickwheeler on August 19, 2017, 12:15:45 AM
Yes it is a 350.

Bucket of f@#k. Is that what you were thinking Kevin. Because it is from parts from everywhere
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: Phoenix843 on August 19, 2017, 06:29:03 AM
Sounds like mine. I've got a hodgepodge of parts from three different R. The only thing I'm happy with on it is Pete's ported 270 he built me.

I can't wait to try out this 350 motor. It is just a CT PV cylinder. It was all new with 15 hours on it when I got it. Yukon gears and hison basket.

Actually I snuck over the border & picked up those fullbores in Washington when you guys weren't looking, along with a complete 86 in boxes. The fullbores made it back to Washington but your state will never get it's R back, it's an Oregon transplant & it's here to stay  :)
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: hickwheeler on February 17, 2018, 03:08:54 AM
That's alright I've confiscated a 86 from Oregon. So I guess we're even
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: hickwheeler on February 17, 2018, 09:35:25 PM
Ride report. I'm loving this bike. It has the power delivery I was looking for. It doesn't have the top end my 330. But it works awesome down in the trees
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: hickwheeler on September 29, 2018, 10:49:59 PM
Well an update on this one. Took the 350 motor out put stock 86 atc motor in it. Swapping out other parts to make it more stock. Will be sold in a month. Already have a buyer.

Wat are you doing for a new chassis Gene?
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: hickwheeler on September 30, 2018, 06:33:03 PM
Nothing right now. Might put one of my other frames together for a backup bike. 350 motor is just the spare BB motor for now

Well this is not being sold anymore. Going to keep it for a backup buddy ride. Probably fix the frame after the first of the year. But this is how it is sitting now. (http://i65.tinypic.com/w82bs1.jpg)
No more fullbores. Traded them for these OEM 89 plastics
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: 2Nubs on November 19, 2018, 03:55:03 PM
I like the white with blue accents. Let me know if you need anything from my old frame. I doubt yours is that bad though.
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: hickwheeler on November 19, 2018, 04:01:41 PM
It's not to bad. One crack above the swingarm pivot. 2 up on the head stay. I'll get a gusset kit ordered and fix it up. I am thinking about changing the frame color when I fix it.
Title: Re: BOF build

My parts guy had them in a shed

They are not on a stock rim
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: broken1 on November 20, 2018, 02:28:05 AM
Nice score. You thinking about any front graphics? 88 style in blue might go good with the seat.
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: hickwheeler on November 20, 2018, 02:38:20 AM
That's what I was thinking. Probably paint the frame blue also after doing the gussets. Your r probably had some affect on me
Title: Re: BOF build
Post by: 2Nubs on November 20, 2018, 09:02:41 AM
Blue frame would look good I bet.

Just contacted project 250r. They will do the custom colour decals
