Title: '88 from Portugal

I'm from Portugal, and after a few years following this forum, and looking for a TRX250R, finally last year I got one, a 1988 model:

First, I'm already rebuilding the engine to OEM specifications, then I want to install nerf-bars, new shocks and A-arms.

Then (€€€€) new plastics, new graphics and seat cover.

Then...

Thanks.

Not easy, once that is not legal ride the 250R on public roads, the only options are ride in closed tracks or on the hills.
