toodeep 1,746 Posted March 6, 2020 Are your doors attached to the lower doors? I like the white on the wheelers but not as much on the vehicles. The BR should look good with it. I don't think I have posted these here but have in other places before. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LBZ 75 Posted March 6, 2020 Seizmik Upper doors, they swing and open with the factory doors. My sons trx90 is next to get some white fenders, his reds are really faded from the previous owner leaving it outside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LBZ 75 Posted March 15, 2020 Out with the stock gears and in with the new. Custom no weld Reduction Boss 18% and EBC clutch kit going in. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,140 Posted March 16, 2020 Are you going to use the springs that came with the EBC clutch kit , I am sorry I used the HD springs in my 450 , although the springs might make the clutch grab better , it is a lot harder to shift on my foot , I have the same clutch in my other 450 with the stock springs and it shifts so much easier , it tells you on back the EBC package , " if you don't like the shifting to disassemble and change springs back to stock " , just a thought to ponder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LBZ 75 Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Deleted the front brake, don’t see the need for it on a slow moving mud/yard bike and it looks better to me. Needed a spacer to take up the space where backing plate was, determined that the sleeve was steel inside an aluminum housing, took it to the press and pressed the sleeve out.

LBZ 75 Posted March 26, 2020 28x11x14 Zillas all around on MSA Diesels. 2.5” spaced in the back. Also put new 250SX shock boots to cover the extended forks up. Got new fenders on and getting paint mixed to paint tank and forks tomorrow. Body shop buddy of mine is going to shoot the tank and forks for me. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,140 Posted March 26, 2020 Looking real good !!! Like the tires and rims ---- Are floorboards in the future , I think they would look good , maybe some custom ones --- you got the light for the front , I have some 85-87 TRX250 Fourtrax lights might work , removable to work like a hand held , would be a pass it forward kind of thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have a set of trx300 floorboards in the shop, have thought about trying those but will probably end up getting my buddy to fab some for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,140 Posted March 26, 2020 LEDs will be nice ---- some black rubber rear fender flares might kick it up a notch , looks like there is a lip on the edge , might be able to take a clipping from some 300 early model smooth flares ---- I am jealous !!!!

What you think about them hand guards , in white of course Id like to find a set of the metal tubing hand guards but haven’t been able to find any for sale yet. I got the maier flares that go on these fenders but the tire doesn’t stick far enough out for me to want to put them on. Probably need a 3.5” spacer to make it look right. Going to leave them off for now till I look at it a while, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,140 Posted March 26, 2020 I like them flares , I would think a set of 1 inch spacers would be close to right , you want to keep them tires covered and save them pretty while plastics , LOL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LBZ 75 Posted March 26, 2020 There’s already a 2.5” spacer on the rears Fish. I’m thinking I’d need a 3.5-4 to make it look like I want to with those flares on it. Future plans are a set of 29.5 or 31 outlaw wides. With the side lug they have I think I’d be ok with the flares. Trying to figure what to do with the tail lights now. I didn’t have any in the other fenders and people are proud of them on eBay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fishfiles 20,140 Posted March 26, 2020 Didn't realize you had 2.5 spacers on there already -------- I run 2 inch spacers on my 300s with the 250 rear ends , and 5/2 rims --------- maybe some Outlaw 3's and maybe some 5/2 offset rims , the rims you have there look like 4/3 , it might shorten the spacers and still move it out ???

Fishfiles 20,140 Posted March 26, 2020 You not kidding the rear light assembly is up there in dollars , I did see a NOS lens with screws and bulbs for a decent price , if you could either find a good base or build your own base https://www.ebay.com/itm/1985-1987-Honda-ATC-250ES-Big-Red-Tail-Light-Lens-Bulb-Screws-Kit-HONDALINE-ATC/113168411383?epid=0&hash=item1a595ceaf7:g:X~4AAOSwPhdVGvUA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
