Rebuilding the 86'. Some parts in need of a fresh start.

Some fresh PC. Mounted up rad and chain slider.

Bolted up the JD+2 front end. Put OEM shocks on for now but have a set of TCS waiting on the springs to come back with fresh powder.

Put the pegs, shock, and swinger back on.

This is the original 86' engine that's never been opened up and needs a refresh for sure. Not sure if I want to tackle this or have someone else rebuild it. I have a nice 88 engine that I'll use for now.

Dressed her up a bit. This is how she sits as I have some odds and ends that I'm waiting on.

That sure is a beauty bnau. The white and blue was always my favorite. Probably because that's the colors Maybe it's because those are the colors Marty Hart race back in the day or because it's the least common, I'm not really sure. Yours is coming along just perfect. Definitely something to be proud of.

Nice build man and it looks like you have a few more 250rs there also. But I love the white and blue for the plastics and all else just looks great as well.

Bike looks awesome! Nice work. If your ever thinking about selling the 86 engine I'd be interested.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I can't seem to stray from the standard OEM scheme - just looks clean to me. It will be nice to get this thing on wheels! My current stumbling block is whether or not to use these wheels (below) or find some nice used ITP T9's (non-beadlock). I'd like to get a 4/1 to help narrow it up. If I knew then what I know now I would have searched harder for +1 A-arms! Oh well.....

Nice restoration, you have going there! I dig the shamrock look. I have a set of Douglas A5's on a 450R. :love-struck:

That looks awesome so far. I have always loved the blue and white ones!
