http://crplatinginc.com/ Got the link from Dan. Yes they do good work and quick turn around. It should just be a AC Racing 250r model I think. Now I'm curious......why do you ask?

Thanks. How much did the zinc plating cost if you don't mind sharing. The holes on the grab bar look to be elongated so I wasn't sure if you did it or bought it that way. I saw AC racing advertise as a 250r/450r and was wondering if you had one.

I sent the axle with a pretty good box of hardware.....axle nuts,rotor hubs,caliper plates,bolts,etc. The bill was 82 bucks. $22 of that was return shipping though.

Thanks man! Yes they use salt alot. My buddy bought it from the original owner a couple years old. It is a 1997. Then he owned it from like 99-03? Then my brother bought it from him after that and owned it up until 2011 when I bought it. It was parked 03-04 winter tranny went out. I have had it parked in winters since 2011. It has rust....just hard to tell in the pics. Bottom of inside doors and a little on the rockers. Not too bad though....should stay pretty good since I am not running it in winter anymore.

What color is that plating considered?? Hex clear or Tri clear? I'm assuming...

Little update.....this is now for sale. Only thing I don't probably have is a seat cover and graphics for the fenders. Have new in box fighting red Maier fenders,gas tank cover and hood. Got a oem headlight complete for it. New chain and sprockets,clutch lever,85 atc motor for it in great shape-no damage. Just bought front wheels/tires on ebay for this thing. I want to finish it and I will if it doesn't sell. Want to finish my 87 worse. Your choice of different exhaust systems. Please pm me if you are interested.

Awesome build

Those 88-89 are so hard to put back together, the hard part is sourcing parts for it. I am sure if 88-89 parts were easier to find there would be more riders putting these 88-89 back together. I have done 2 and I am still working on a few parts I need and of course it's the few hardest parts too find.

Looking good. You decide on a pipe?

red88r · « **Reply #29 on:** June 22, 2014, 12:35:37 AM »

Thanks guys! No I did not yet decide for sure on a pipe. It will more likely be a stock set up because I don't have any real nice spare extra pipes. I do have a real nice PSI pipe but not a matching silencer.
