Little update on the R..... I got all the brake parts in and went to put them on today, I got the brake hub off and the outside of the carrier where the retaining ring that holds the brake stay on came out in pieces in my hand..... long story short i'm in the market for a new carrier right now. ON A PLUS I HAVE SPARK NOW!!!! I got the 350x headlight setup in and am working on the bezel, got a new shift lever on. Cleaning it all up little by little and having fun with it.

ya it was a good find for sure.... The TRX guys have done a pretty good job of taking care of me with parts so far. Most are ebay sellers that give steep discounts to trx250 members. I figured that one out quick thank god. Still not the WC brotherhood but it works for me. Thebike is coming along and the wife isnt getting pissed about it so all is good!!

plastics are looking alot better man Thanks Bones, I have a few hours in them and am now at the point where I don't much care what they look like hahaha. I tore the top end down to get a good look at it and the motor is 100% bone stock. Stock bore by the looks and everything. I was talking to some Trx motor builders and they said it looks and sounds like a motor that came out of a turn in bike right after the Ban. They said its rare but most likely. They also suggested pulling it apart and putting in new gaskets so I ordered a full set for it and will be replacing them all while the motor is out. I'm happy with a stock cylinder so I can do what I want with it when the time comes. Right now I'm still collecting parts just to get it running, ride it for a bit then start re building and trading parts. I should be getting the durablue axel, new petcock, and air box eliminator kit next week if it all goes well.
