what did you do to your R today?

[JasonB]

sent my crank off with my brother to have the new proX rod pressed into the stock cr500 crank. last tuesday I shipped off my cases to Adam Millar at MRE to have the TWIRP port job started on. Hope to have this R back up and running around 1st of the year if things go smooth

Nothing............waiting on parts to get shipped in from the west coast.  Damn weather has them running behind.

Pulled Duncan motor out of my 88 so I can put it in my project 87.  Put project 87 motor in my 88 as it will be my trailrider and it is the only motor I have that doesn't need race gas.  Twisted off exhaust manifold bolt and had to drill/tap it out.  Smashed my middle finger on my left hand in the process.  Also put a new chain slider on my 88.....was not one on it when I bought it.

Sounds like a good productive day but bad on the fingers. Atleast you have a warm shop to work in bud.

Saturday i started tear down on my wifes 86....Lots of cleaning to do there. I dont think this thing has ever been taken apart fully(frame is painted but very poorly, im pretty sure it was taped off). I cant even budge the nut on the swinger bolt by hand, Air will come in handy.

Yes I don't know how I ever got anything done in my gagage by my house....no heat or insulation.  Ran a turbo heater and froze!  Been letting my Labs stay in the shop overnight because I feel bad for them out in the cold.

Are you going to do the 02 cr Higgy?

[fx4pitrone]

I bought a complete 310 motor and trx 5 pipe ready to drop in!

[red88r]

Polished a antifade I just bought and polished a Duncan silencer.  Removed mud,rust and carbon from the pipe.

started prepping my cases for the new Hot Rods crank and full bottom end rebuild. Still have to remove all paint and repaint (going with the dark silver color). Dropping cylinder piston and dome for bore hone and reshape. Gotta swing by to have a bad repair fixed on my left case tomorrow. during the engine rebuild phase I am going to rearrange my modifications to my 86 frame and the rear engine mounts.

No, I found a 01 Cr250 ignition. I got everything mounted today except for the CDI. I gotta figure out how I'm gonna secure it down to the frame!


 Thanks Higgy!

Let's see, I have been testing get stators. Messed up the flywheel nut and the threads on the crank, will be fixed today. Got a esr cr adapter plate so I hope to be getting the whole ignition installed when the plate comes in. Took the stator covers off both R's to re polish them. And I will update when I have other things I have done getting closer to the July silver lake trip.
