Title: Stockish crossbar pad
Post by: Theron on December 01, 2020, 09:54:48 AM
Everyone who knows me knows that I am all about BSR. For those of you who don't understand it means bone stock racing. It is what my fantasy racing team would be if I actually had my own team. Regardless I enjoy trying to make my machine as stock as possible but I've run into a couple snags along the way. In the build of my 88 I was trying to get a stock set of handlebars but it just wasn't happening. So I went with a pair of moose racing handlebars, but of course it has a crossbar. So I thought to myself "what would Honda have done if they did have a crossbar, what would they have done with it?"  I came up with this. What do you think? I took the seat graphic and brought it to my graphic guy, had him shrink it down and put it on red vinyl that I then brought it to my tailor and had him sew some Velcro on it. What you're looking at is the Prototype.

Nice looking R! Seeing it brings back memories of when my friend & his dad broke in their brand new bone stock 88 at my parents place back in 88. I have a vhs tape of it somewhere.

I have more of the raw material with the graphic on it. I can send it to you. Then you can just have a tailor velcro it for a few bucks.
Let me know.

That's all sorts of fun right there. Looks like a nice track for 4 wheels

We had a cool track locally that would not allow 3&4 wheel machines use it. They tried to hold national events there but ended up closing. I did one time sneak on the track and we had a blast for 30 minutes until we were booted off.

the track in my area is the same way. Will only allow quads on the main track early in the morning. i want to say you have to be off by 9am or so. There is a ATV "only" track but no one boots the dirt bikers off that track

In left wing socialist Massachusetts riding a quad is the same as climbing the Berlin wall in 1961. There are a few spots that allow quads, for the tracks that dont, well I hope the get shut down too. I hate quadists.

I’ve met a few guys from MA over the years.  2 of the 3 were track guys.  One rode trails.  Not sure we’re they rode though.

You've got it way better than here in Connecticut, we have nothing at all for ATV's and bikes have to be registered and insured to use one fairly small legal riding area.

Brother I grew up in Connecticut. During the Golden Era 1985 to 1991. Every summer at Newtown dadario's was like an epic all-terrain vehicle event. Each year kids came with the new models. We raced on the railroad tracks to Wolf Park and back. raced down the live Rail road tracks against freight trains rode across Stevenson Dam. we had trail  Network's all over the state from Monroe to Huntington to New Haven. It was epic. And now it's all gone.

Newtown Daddario the most sacred place on Earth to me.

Long live the Newtown D'Addario Posse of 1985 to 1991

Long live the FOURTRAX 250R

Yeah those were the golden years for sure! I was riding on the Northeastern part of the state but ventured over to the Cromwell sand pits a few times. I'd give my left nut to go back for one more day haha

Nice pics, thanks for sharing! I wish I had some pics from back then.

Here is a retro pic from the summer of 1987
I had a motocross track in my back yard in Monroe.
All my machines were Christmas presents from my father. God rest his soul.

Long live the ATC 200x!
