82' 250r-300r

[Bullonme]

Well her goes guys I'll just start posting pics. This whole thing started with $100 worth of boxed up parts.

[Bullonme]

Just a lil more of what I started with

[Bullonme]

Here is the 300R blasted and put together... I have one more crank case and head and I'm thinking of do'n the whole pollishing thing but we'll see.

[Bullonme]

wire wheeled the expansion chamber and painted it high temp black think it looks ok.

[firefirefire90]

sweet Bassani pipe dude! Gonna match well with your 300 kit!


Let's Edogg it and get some PIX PIX PIX!!!!

[Rex Karz]

That is what I call raising the dead ! Great work. It would be so sick if you could actually polish that top end, the only problem is after all that work I would be hesitant to get it dirty. (But I would, anyways.)

[Bullonme]

yeah its repacked... I'm downloading all the powder coating pics rite now

[Bullonme]

here is the powder coating I got done today.:headbang: besides the frame its still in the truck. but should have pics tomarrow of it and some of the rebuild. I am waiting to get new white plastic till I get the tax return but I have good red plastic. That will hold me over till I get the check from the man:booty: ... well the pics are too big need to figure out how to resize them.... HA HA HA

[Bullonme]

after working with each pic

[Bullonme]

I always like the white on these machines, so you've got me anxious to see how this turns out! You're off to an awesome start. I would assume this isn't your first rodeo, or you do this for a living!:D

Keep us updated!

[Troll]

Awesome work!! Great job!!.................................................:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[masonryman13]

VERY NICE work. I love to see a trike brought back from the dead.

[Bullonme]

It is my first rebuild... I'm just a mechanic for a living . I just whated it to be done rite. My buddy that I got the R from has a bussiness in his garage. He has helped me with lil bits here and there. But for the most part I'm do'n it on my onw. Thanks every one and Hope to get some pics but up today of the frame and some of her going together.

[3wheelergod]

Nice Job! It looks like a nice ride for sure! Wish I could find an 81!

[82300r]

very nice, looks great so far!

[84honda200s]

looking good man...keep us up to date on this.

[Bullonme]

Ok here are some of the frameafter powder coat :cool:

[Bullonme]

Here is the Swinger rebuilt... New bearings and seals.. It needs a need sprocket but this one will do for the time being.:whine: Might get it when the tax return come in too.

[84honda200s]

very nice man ...looks nice for a white scheme. you going to offset the white at all ? or is it all white ? i kinda think all white would be sweet in its own ways.

[Bullonme]

84 honda... I'm just go'n to do minimal black. The seat, fork covers, grips, and maybe a 300R graphic. But the rest will be alum or white.

Fork seals are in and go'n to pick those up and get the triple trees together. Might even get her running tonight.......

Wish me Luck... I want to go riding tomarrow.

[wild200x]

i wish you luck man! looks like its gonna be killer! i had an 81 once for a bit. they are a huge step in the evelutionary process of these killer machines!! rock on dude!

kool man sounds like it will be a sweet ride. good luck man i wish my build wen as fast as yours. but then again i started with nothing but a 200s motor. anyway man good luck on it.

[Bullonme]

Well a 1,000 & 1 snags later:thmbsdwn: I got things to work. Tripple trees on forks rebuilt and on. And front tire on... Need to get me an alum one but don't have the money rite now. Oh well...

[Bullonme]

I got the stator and clutch cover powder coated so I changed them out and got the motor in.

[Bullonme]

Swinger and shock on almost three wheels

[Bullonme]

Opps forgot the pics... gonna rebuild the shock and clean it up later. Any sugestions on what to pain the spring with to keep it from chipping???

[Bullonme]

ok 3 wheels:headbang: :headbang: this is all for tonight... I should have her running tomarrow... But I said the yesterday:doh: I'm painting the bars white in the morn and I painted the red scoops black. I think they'll look sweet back on.

[firefirefire90]

dude you don't mess around! Sweet lookin trike!


I can't wait to see the finished product!

[Gdkarma]

That's looking AWESOME! I think, in my opinion, you could sum up that whole package with either white, black, or chrome/polished parts, and it will look pretty darn good. Great job so far!

[Bullonme]

Tail light, exaust and wires

[Bullonme]

Tank and seat on to see what it looks like. See'n how it feels (Me a.ka. James) :headbang: Back to work and putting on the heat shields. The white is sweet:headbang: :headbang:

[Bullonme]

Together..... With the red plastic... for now till I get my taxes back. then I'll get the white rear and front plastic.:headbang: Plus put on the last piece of metal the goes near the seat. I'm also wondering what healight I should get for it. But who knows... See what I can get on ebay. But she fired rite up.:burnout:

[Gdkarma]

Congratulations on everything going good, and getting the beast to fire up. That's always a good sign, and things are all down hill from here!:headbang:

[bryan raffa]

I have been watching.. l@@Kin good! I like the 82R I wouldnt mind haveing one!

[350X'inNY]

I have been watching.. l@@Kin good! I like the 82R I wouldnt mind haveing one!

How about just working on one??? :thumbsup: Did I tell you I ordered a chain for that too? It'll be here today. Think I need a new front sprocket though. :doh:

That is a pretty sweet 82 300R... awesome job! I stuck with OEM on mine... got to finish it up... little things, air filter/carb, exhaust and chain and sprockets... Raffa did the motor work for me.... still haven't fired it up yet. :shrug: Mine came with a old school custom aluminum adapter plate to use the narrow front tire on the 82R hub/forks. And of course, it wouldn't be mine with out a little Hondaline bling... got foot peg covers, speedo and fairing. :headbang:

[Bullonme]

Thanks 350X.. :headbang:
I need to do Lil things too. I have to put the air filter on mine and Get the white plastics. I'm not sure what headlight to put on it. I'm looking for an Alum fornt rim. Just need to find one on ebay or from someone on here. I'm just gonna run it like it is for now till I get some more money to drop on it. I'll for sure post the pics up when its for real done or any lil changes.

Later all
James

[firefirefire90]

dude that thing is badass! The smallness of the trike always made me like it so much! I would always guess that a trike like this would be badass on the flattrack/trails. It's so small and powerful!

Sitting on these is cool to! I mean, from far away they seem kinda small but they're a pretty good size once you sit on it! Always on of my favorites!!!


Will you be leaving it all white or putting some flair on it? It looks badass as is! Maybe a numberplate? hmm? Rock on dude :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[aviomech]

That does look sweet!!! I would think black plastic(if available) would really offset the white and look great. But all white with some bling would look great too!!! I'm only hoping my 82 300r comes out 1/2 as good as yours. Nice trike!!

[ATCnut]

Great looking rebuild.

Looking at the swinger bearing pics, did you put in the tube that goes between the bearings?? I can not see it in the pics.

without the tube, the bearing will wear out all most immediatly.

Again, great looking rebuild. I just want to make sure you do not have a problem right off the bat.


Here is the Swinger rebuilt... New bearings and seals.. It needs a need sprocket but this one will do for the time being.:whine: Might get it when the tax return come in too.

[Bullonme]

Thanks ATCnut...
Funny you mintioned that... The axel does not spin well with out that in there. I got it all together and was turning the axel and it was real tuff. So I was asking my buddy who knows a lil more than me. He was like this is not rite. So About that time I remembered that piece you are talking about.

So yes its in there. LOL

Fire and Avio.. I was thinking the same thing. With the black plastics. I put my buddy's 83'R front fender on it to test ride. I liked it. So I'm thinking I will paint that red rear fender black just to see what it looks like. I was planing on white plastics with some custom "Air Fooled 300R" Stickers... But I may change that.

We'll see in a few weeks.

What front hub do you have on it? If it's 83/84R then a aluminum 200X rim will bolt up. If it's a 85-86R hub, the aluminum 350X (preferably a 85 rim) would bolt up. The 86 has that cast center hub in it.

[Bullonme]

Well guys did some messing around on paint last night and came up with this.

Tell me what you think. I'm gonna go old-school with the graphics too. All block lettered.

[aviomech]

That looks killer!!! I'd go with that.

[Bullonme]

Just A little update.... I recieved the check for the IRS.. :headbang: :headbang:
Bad new is the attempt to do black fenders is a no go.. NO ONE sells them for the 82' So I say:wtf: :wtf:
Oh well:whine:
So I odered the white 82' rear and a 83' front.. I like the way it was compared to the 82' and it bolts up to my forks which I think are off a 84' 200X.
Also odred a new front tire off ebay.
I am seriously looking at some 350X headlights to go on it. But not sure if I can get them. You guys know how ebay bidding is.
The tank graphis are being made at the local graphics place but they are having isues with matching the 82' font... Once they hash that out I'm go'n to get some made for the fenders too.
:headbang: :headbang: :burnout:
Thats all for now.. Hope to get some stuff in this week.

[350X'inNY]

Dude.... go with a 250R headlight!!! Not even sure if the stator in the 82 250R would support the tandem 35W halogens that a 350X HL has. I say use the 82R headlight with one of the old school "Hockey mask" HL guards painted white.:thumbsup: Or if you used the 83-84R Triple trees, put a white 250SX headlight on it.

[Bullonme]

Santa came today....:headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[Bullonme]

Custom 300R Graphics ... OOOOOO HHHHHHHH YEAH!!!!!!:headbang:

[Bullonme]

Thanks 350 that sounds cool... I'll keep my eyes out for one. I just liked the dual headlight look. Any way going to install my goodies tomarrow and ger her all muddy.:burnout: :burnout:

Updates to come along with some pics of that stuff on.. Later guys

[3wheelergod]

A 250R stator has more than enough juice to run 350X headlights! There are TONS of trikes on here that have them. Look at wild200x's trike! 1985, 350X headlights (that work)!!!

[firefirefire90]

dude those stickers are MONDDDO DIESELLL seriously dude lookin slick! I'd have a few of those made and sell em off!


But seriously...i'm already imagining this trike together. I'm so glad this trike iss not going to be all show and no go!

[Bullonme]

Plastics on... My fiance bout shot me :nono: but I dropped the $$ on some new ASV levers:headbang: Took forever to get the plastics drilled and monted but a Dremal was my friend. Those graphics look sick. All together and waiting to be loaded up.

[Bullonme]

Here she is at the trail head. All clean and wanting to be road.... Taking a smoke break.. And loaded up all dirty..... Bent the new ASV clutch lever.. first ride.. So that means new clutch cable and may return the lever for new. Also figured out I need a throtle cable.. It sticks a the wrongest of times ... :chuckle: Thats why the made a clutch:chuckle: .... All in all good second ride... Most of the ride was single track stuff but alot of fun none the less. Alm front rim should be in tomarrow and should be breaking into the jug this week to try to get it bored for my new piston.

[3wheelergod]

Definately a nice looking trike you got there! Almost a shame to get it dirty,,,,,,,almost! How strong is the 300 motor?

[Bullonme]

Yeah almost a same... But not... It was a blast riding.... As far as strong.. I got this motor from a buddy who had the cylinder honed and was a lil over sized. So there is some piston slap and I think some blow-by just cuz its not up to par. It is stong but I think there is alot more to be had. So that is why I have the new piston and gasket kit:headbang: :headbang: I also don't think I quite have the jets rite but as soon as I get the new piston in her.. I'll tune it rite up.:burnout: :burnout:

I was under the impression that the 1982, not a later water pumper, that the air cooled R didn't have that great of a stator. That the 350X lights would both "light up" but NOT be as nearly as bright as they are on an actual 350X. Other people had to modify the electical system beyond just pigtailing the single light into 2 wires for dual lights.:slap:

[Gdkarma]

Lookin' KILLER dude! I really like trikes that are White, they just stand out in a crowd:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

[Troll]

Nice job brother............................... :hail:

[Bullonme]

Thanks a bunch Troll And Karma...... But its not totaly dun.. A few more things need to be done. Like the front rim and tire.. Air box???? Maybe... Just because I like mud. Rear tires which will have to wait for a few paydays...

Oh yeah and that god for saken headlight issue that you guys are arguing about... :mad2: :mad2:

The answer is I will being a white plastic single light. Either off a 200X or some thing of the sort. I personaly think that is the way to go. And understand the whole over tasking stator or under powering the headlights.

So does any one have a white plastic headlight and mount? I can modify the mount to fit.

[Bullonme]

Sorry for the explosion about the headlight deal. I was just a lil deturbed at the time... Just figured why rant about the headlight on a build up thread....

Ok enough about that on to the good stuff...

My piston was slapping around so bad it was hard to hear yourself think.:mad2: So a new piston(77mm) and bore later..No more slappy slappy:thumbsup: Also I just could not get her to come alive on the top end. And mid range just sucked. After talking with a few guys on here and just tinkering... 40 idel jet and a 130 main jet. :burnout: OMG it came alive.:headbang: :headbang: New FMF turbine core silencer. New throtle cable. New clutch cable. New front tire. Rim off a 200x and painted my old gold hub white. It looks sweet.

Cleaned her up a lil so I could take some pics. And should be on tomarrow night with pics from my ride.:headbang: :headbang:

[Texas350x]

Looks good i hope my 350x turns out like yours did and you finished yours fast its going to take me a while.

[Gdkarma]

:headbang: :headbang: Turned out pretty damm GOOD!:headbang: :headbang:

[aviomech]

Hey James, is that a 200x front fender or something different?? It looks different from my front fender. I'm thinking of doing something to get more cooling air to the cylinder(front fender blocks alot). But I noticed your fender looks like it exposes more cooling air to the cylinder. Maybe I'm just seeing things.

[82300r]

good job, looks great.

[Mr. Richard]

MAN NICE WORK!! i noticed there is no pipe spacer between the rear bearings,,, without it you will be sideloading the bearings real bad,,,, they will bind and not last very long without it in there,,,,,

It is a 83' 250R front fender... I just liked the way it looked and it fits the 200X forks

Spacer was installed I figured it out while putting it all back together... I noticed the axel was supper stiff... That was the cause... But thanks for the look out. I needed it a few times durring this build.

Old school mod was to drill the front fender out using a 1-1½" hole saw. Do a search for pics of my 300R. I don't have any pics with me right now. Mine has 6 holes drilled in it in a pyramid like scheme. (like first 6 pins on a bowling alley)
