Haha yes, it has been a real slow build but that is because life just keeps kicking me in the balls lol. I had an R1 that blew the motors twice in a range of 500 miles (not my fault) and that drained the bank account. Plus I'm a soccer coach to multiple teams so summer/fall is my busiest time of...

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...

Just thought I'd give a quick update on my build. Our powder coating oven's fan went out literally as they were about to do my black parts. That held up the process a bit. Late last week, work was able to get install a replacement fan in the powder coating oven and get my parts powder coated...

Well I think it dying after warming up was just a coincidence because it seems fine now. As for the TORS, I completely forgot about the "brain box". Went to unplug it at the carb and throttle switch but never touched the box. Guess that's my problem. Now back to the key switch. I have the...

I got the rest of the tear down done the other day except the swingarm bolt. It was SEIZED. So to save time and a big headache, yesterday we just decided to cut the bolt out. After we cut it, it came off the swing arm with a few blows from a big ol hammer. Looked like it hadn't seen grease...

Just a little more progress on the R tear down. The spare blaster I'm rebuilding so I can sell is taking up most of my time but still put in about an hour on the R. Down to pretty much just the brake lines, arms, and swing arm until the frame is ready. I'll work on the swing arm and the axle...

Finally had time make more progress this last weekend. Top end was put on about a week ago and I mounted the motor one day during the week last week. This weekend though, I was able to get far enough to start the motor for some heat cycles. Don't mind the electrical mess, I still gotta get some...

Also while I'm at it, I thought tors deletes on 88-02 was just simply unplugging it. I have it unplugged at the carb but if I unplug it at the throttle, it doesn't spark. Do I have to keep the throttle part plugged in? And I also don't have a key for it so I need to bypass that part of the...

Some of you may have seen the rebuild I'm doing to my spare parts blaster. I got it put together enough to start it just now and I went to do the heat cycles on it. All was going well. It was a little blubbery off idle but good enough for heat cycles. Now here's the problem. It just out of...

So here is the look I'm somewhat going for. Love the color scheme! That's very close to what I'm looking for as a result but I'm going to but my own touch on it. The red will be a little darker of a red and SUPER glossy. Also I wont have as much polished/chrome on it. The nerfs will be...

Everyone keeps telling me these 363 builds are amazing. The say a well built 250R can run with the best but like you said, lack some down low power so you really gotta know how to ride it to hang with the best of the modern quads. But with the big displacement, they say you can really ride it...

From my understanding talking with my suspension guy...long travel>standard travel but quality built shocks>>>>>>>stock shocks. Explanation: Long travels are better than standard travel but can only do so much because of the small shocks and travel that blasters are setup for regardless of...

After a year since I last messed with it, I finally started working on the R again. Not too much physical progress yet but a lot of thinking and planning got done recently. After finding problem after problem with the quad and the condition it is in, the previous owner(s) must not have cared...

Thats for the stock carb. He's got a 28mm Keihin. Completely different jets

Not to be a jerk (because I respect you) but I'm thinking that someone wanting to spend $250 on a part is going to want to see pictures at some point. Might as well post them so everyone can see as well even if they don't buy them. Is 5 minutes of your time to take and post a picture worth...
