My rescued 86 TRX250R build

[nick20555]

I guess I've forgot to update this thread. So for anyone who wants to see the progress I've made in the past months here it is.

Just about everything is assembled now. I only have a few things left to do such as clean up and mount the exhaust, install the wiring harness, install the shocks, and install the plastics. I will also probably put some beadlocks with new tires on as well but maybe not right away. Everything is starting to come along nicely. I can't wait to get this thing fired up and ride it. It is by far my best build yet.

Do those heel guards on the nerfs interfere with the rear fenders?

I haven't had the rear fenders on yet with the nerfs. Hopefully I will soon though. I'll let you know if I remember

The powder I used was intentionally NOT a match to OEM. My garage lighting and the glossiness of the powder is deceiving. Its actually quite a bit darker and extremely
glossy compared to the OEM red. Actually, if you look at the blaster I have in the background, its an almost identical shade to the red frame on it just a lot more glossy.

It looks like someone above me has found a close OEM-like powder. But if anyone cares what powder I used (once again, it was intentionally darker than OEM) it is prismatic powders toreador red with a lollipop red top coat.
