Sorry been a very busy weekend, but thanks everyone for the input... Thanks for the response Neil I surely appreciate your very knowledgeable information... I surely don't have the deep pockets and that's the main reason I wanted cpi cylinder, and a bulletproof bottom end... From my research esr, and pro x have water jacket issues, so instead of chasing gremlins down with there products and putting new top ends on, etc itd seem the logical thinking would be build it right the first time or waste alot of money wishing you had.... I could be wrong and maybe esr, pro x have there issues figured out and would appreciate input in that area... With that said I'm strongly concerned with the transmission situation as being my weakest link in the build, hopefully we have some good aftermarket ones in the near future... My main reason for going sphynx over puma was the transmission reliability... I'm lookin for a strong 65hp and would like to believe I could do that without destroying gears... I look forward to all the information I can get... Thanks again

Thanks for all the quick response, its appreciated... I would definitely like to have a bullet proof transmission and bottom end, I'm open to all possibilities on builders and love to hear input... Pete would be top list if Neil is out of the question but I'm also open to Arlen.... My main objective would be reliability first and 450 destroyer coming in a very close second haha... I'm running a ported 89 250r with 38 air Stryker, esr cage and reeds, billet intake etc bunch of little things and hang and run down some nice 450s but as we all know we ALWAYS need more... Would Pete be able to build everything start to finish, meaning I send him my motor and he orders what I need or should I order parts and send everything to him.... Obviously its best to just talk to him or whoever said builder should be, but just tryin to get a feel for what's going to need doing.... What should I be lookin to spend on tho build, I'm sure 3000 plus is in the cards? Thanks again btw I just sold my banshee to build my girl haha...

I'm not opposed to other builders and would appreciate input on others, I've had Neil locked for my build for a few years from all I read also he's not to far from the coal hills of Pennsylvania where I reside... But any and all information and views are greatly appreciated...

I've read many good things about Pete and would definitely consider him as well, I'm lookin for a strong mid to top performer and open to options....

Honestly I cant answer to Neils stand on the sphynx but I'm hoping for him to work his 250r magic on my build.... Thanks for responding so quickly.... What pipe, carb, etc did everyone run with there build, obviously I know ultimately the builder "hopefully Neil" will steer me in the right direction but what worked for everyone here...

Ok 250r brethren my sphynx build is finally able to come to fruition, I've traveled a long road with my R and finally able to put a 4 stroke murderer in her.... With that said I have some questions on the transmission as far as reliability goes, options and what has everyone done and experienced in that department??? I'm lookin for the Neil to chime in cause I'm dead set on him for my build. What issues should I be aware of with this build, what problems if any did everyone come across? I just want to cover all aspects of this so all your input would greatly be appreciated as my girl been sitting idle in the garage for the past year waiting patiently to sing again and destroy 450's again..... Thanks for all your input long live our 250r passions....

Pumashine 250R Products / The lost stealth shroud thread

This is my first ever post here been reading and learning here for two years when I got my 250r ( what was there) in boxes and she finally came to the point of maiden voyage... With that said like many of you I've been patiently waiting to hear I could get me a set of these shrouds from Tony. Count me in Tony and I blame you for setting the bar so high that theres no other shrouds that could compare... Please count my 250r in for a set... Thanks
