Full custom lt250r

2smoker-suzi · 08-17-2011, 11:30 PM

So I traded my ole quadrunner 250 for a fairly crappy lt 250r. I've got some aftermarket racing plastics coming next week so for now ima sand it down and repaint and clean. I've spent 4+hrs just sanding the frame, and tommrow i will paint it.

Now i need some ideas of dyi's and stuff.

Shot piston

Frame with primer

Very nice.......I rode one at Pismo a few years ago and they got some snap to them for sure. The guy that brought it out was straight tearing it up!
