lots of potential there and lots of work too

...i'm sure you will do a fine job on it....

Chuckie25 · 12-18-2011, 08:52 AM

Thank y'all! I'm getting money to have the cylinder bored today and then a very close family friend is going to paint it the same way as my dad's spiny car was (this is the exact same person who painted the sprint car lol)

'87 Suzuki LT250R motor - YouTube

Ok c'mon, cant have polished aluminum sitting around and NOT see what it looks like on your motor lol

Chuckie25 · 12-30-2011, 11:22 PM

It ain't no where close to being done but I wanted to see how she looked with all the polished aluminum on it and that big ole expanshion chamber hanging off it lol. I still gotta get the motor bored and then everything painted and put my new bearings in the rear end and I can put it back together. Hopefully at the begining of the year (around income tax season) I'll get it at least running and MAYBE painted. No plastics though unless I can sell the '87 QuadZilla stock plastics I have for a decent price.

Okay. If you dont mind me asking but how much does he charge.

Chuckie25 · 01-10-2012, 07:10 PM

It's a flat rate of either 55 or 65 to bore it and then I think 65-70 an hour for labor

Chuckie25 · 01-14-2012, 12:54 PM

Just dropped my cylinder off. My piston kit is gunna be 165 :-/ it's unfortunately gunna be a Weisco piston in it. But we don't know if it will clean up to a usable bore. The little bane in the exhaust port, cylinder side where the sleeve is, is tore up pretty bad and my cylinder only has one bore left in it before I have to resleeve it.

Chuckie25 · 02-04-2012, 08:45 PM

WOOO-FUGGING-HOOO!!!!!!!!! My cylinder cleaned up good enough to run save for one small little spot but it won't hurt it!! My piston kit will be in next Saturday and so will my seals an gaskets!!!!!
