Sweet trike btw.

LOL all the above!
Switch off a 200e the bottom switch is removable. I went with this switch because it gave me more room on the bars. The grips are longer than OEM. The 82 R switch is like this without the bottom start button. I wanted some old school, plus this switch is in excellent condition.

A 200e switch eh. I can appreciate room on the bars. I've been compromising going with a cr kill and low beam hard wired on.

The average person will never know where the switch came from. Like I said before, the grips are longer. I wanted to stay with something honda and also put some old school items on it. I have a 85 CR jug that will go on this, it has a Jemco pipe and Richter silencer. I have a complete cr 2001 ignition set up for this also. But as can be seen it still has a headlight.If i get the lighting coil option the I will use the light switch. If not... Well it is in my opinion a hybrid. LOL
I machined and fabbed the front tripples, stretched the swinger along with other one off stuff.It has some PUMASHINE products as well.
This build is kinda like HIP HOP IN A HONKY TONK. Never in my 55 years did I ever think that I would see Country and Rap mixed together, but Colt Ford pulls it off, so all I can say is God bless America, and Rock on!!! Peace out dudes!

If I was not for wanting to go with the trx 450r swinger and brake set up I would have put my Westcoast swing arm on this build.
The 10" front rim with the 21 tire and the 18" rear tires help change the appearance some. The desert tank and seat will probably never see the desert! Ha Ha. But Mrs Mosh at cosmic quads made the cover and sold me the foam and fixed me up good.
I also have some one off stainless parts for this build that I made, Skid plates, brake petal that is a quicker style to remove. I will also have some style of quick change cover. I have anodized as well as powder coated parts that I done myself.The pegs I made and coated myself.
I could have put a good payment in a TPC with what I have in this build. I am building this for the experience, not the return on investment. Never ran any machine shop equipment before this build. I have access to it now. Never Tigged welded before either, never powdercoated or anodized anything either, until now. Oh yeah I polished all my own stuff.
Not blowing my own horn here. These things are just what I wanted to do for the fun and experience.

Btw
Not many white 250r motors either.

Ha Ha. May look bad when I fire it up and get it muddy, but it's mine and I like it.
ROCK ON!!!!

I also Have an 86 Trx rear shock I will put on. The ressie on the stock 450r gets in the way of the Jemco stinger.
I will also fab me a custom air box in the next month or so. So much still to do. Not having a good controlled area to work does hinder, but it can't all be good. HA HA HA

Looking good! Lots of hard work I see. Building is 1/2 the fun.

Thank you!^

Here is the airbox I am working on. 16 ga. stainless. Went with the TRX style, but may also make one of the ATC style for my Stock ATC 250r that I will rework when this build is done. This stainless polishes up real nice.
All "FUSION" welded. Thought I would throw that BIG BUZ WORD in there! " FUSION WELDED".

I have this test fitted in a mock up frame. I will add the detail work to it next week after My K&n filter comes in. The inlet tube has to be aligned to the correct angle for the filter. I will make a lid for this also. I could have went will Aluminum but this build has several stainless ONE OFF hand fabricated parts so I want to stay with the stainless as much as possible.
I know it adds to the weight, So I guess I will need to Loose some more to offset it. OH the sacrifices we must make!!! HA HA HA!
