    Parker Rabe, This is for you ! I built this in 1996 for Baja with Inverted front forks 14" of travel and one of my fastest motors ever built.

    Old school cool- My dad had an 82' 250r new. No suspension air cooled rattle trap-84' brought out the tecate and tri-Z then Honda turned a corner in 85' and they were the king again. Used to live for dirt, now I have no desire to get muddy-

    Boats are clean and easy.

    I only had a few minutes to work on my project today will have more time tuesday night, I also got my new flywheel and ordered my 9-amp stator, but I did tighten up a few things and install relays for fuel pump and NOS system all mounted on motor. I also secure the oil line to the lower unit. So I thought i would post pics.

    Relays with Bracket and Oil line for Lower Unit

    I did have a 350X with an Al Baker built XR600 motor on alcohol that was fun in the dunes. It would run with the 292 and 320 big bored 250r's but then came the banshee craze and we were done with three wheelers. Man I think of the effort that we put into all of that stuff back then (young and dumb)-but great memories...

    This ride that you are putting together should hold your attention. Waiting to see your progress.

    Thanks Joe !

    Tonight I was pulling the flywheel man it did not want to come off pulled one of the flywheel bolts out. Had to re-tap the screws to a bigger size to get it off, but i got it. I found a few problems but I think I got it. 1st) it had the CDI RS stator 9 amp with a old style 35amp flywheel the one that looks like it came off a GT150 , but it was for the V8 the first few years. Here is where the problems starts . The RS stator is only 6" wide the magnets in the 35 amp flywheel are 7.15". I would think that is way to much air gap. So i cleaned everything up install my new used 120 looper 9 amp flywheel fit great nice and close ! Move the spacers ( Washers in the Pics) off the starter and fits the flywheel great. Talk about luck.....lol. So I'm getting my flywheel cleaned up and going to cut just a little weight off, nothing that would make it crack. It's already lighter than the one that came off. I will post more pics of the flywheel and of the boat soon as I get UPS to drop off my stuff.....

    Well I got to work on my motor today. I installed my stacks I made $60.00 on ebay on sale had the flanges welded on, and finished wiring the relays plus tested. Next new steering hoses and start rigging. Will paint the pans and hood when the sun comes out. Just thought I would post some pics.

    Dawned on me that your motor board supports are steering tie bars.

    Very cool idea.
    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    Yes ! They are Mercury Twin tie bar kits. All I had to mod was the length of the bar than powder coated.
