Project has been stalled for some time but I am starting this back up in the new year. I have most to all the needed parts labeled and acquired to be dropped off at a new powdercoater here in NJ soon. I also have purchased some new front end items off ebay to include new rotors, hubs, bearing, complete rotor cooling plastics for the ride.

hows she look now?

I have not had the opportunity to dive into this project. the powder coater are you said a terrible job and all the parts have had to be coated again. also my new powder coater lost all of the Engine brackets so i am looking on ebay for them curently.

Got this project back up on the workhorses and are in mock up stage right now, Engine is at Hosers for rebuild-stockpiling parts for fitment, then dis assembly and powder. i HAVE ALREADY on it Lonestar +2 a arms, Lonestar +2 steering stem, Lonestar anti vibe clamp, Laerger extended swinger, Excaliber +4 rear axle, Durablue axle hub, sprocket hub, brake hub, Sidewinder sprockets, CPM alumn air box, 38 PWK carb, many more!

I am a life long 250r fan...had every year from 86-89...the frames are notorious for cracking everwhere...my buddys 250r just exploded do to the bottom Engine mount breaking off...anyway i wanted the new school suspension ect. So i built a ltrx250r... its a 2009 ltr450 suzuki with a trx250r motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? )) mounted in there...its almost like the frame was made for it

VERY NICE RIDE, GOT ANY PARTS laying around? Need some items. That Pumashine gusset kit is a nice kit, I bought that and installed first thing!

Working on the project currently. Here is a little picture.

Jaylow, I would drop a 310 kit on your bike. That would really make a beast of your bike.

Mudbogger, sorry to see your delimma with the 250r. I look forward to seeing you resurrect it. The frames on them are week, and a laeger frame is rare to find, and cost a LOT. When it comes to the parts for them, you can find them all over luckily. Aftermarket is huge for the trx. It's hard finding one that hasn't had the piss beat out of em from mx racing, or just being neglected. The front fenders that were on it are chopped for looks and less wind restriction. The stock fenders are full size, and there's several companies who make them. Beauty of that bike is its reliability. They're great bikes. Can't wait to see it done.

got the project about 75% completed, finally on it's wheel waiting for small items like grips, headlight switch, small items, still needs to be started, heat cycled, air leak tested, check water pump and rad, set shocks, rear carrier tightened, much more but all small items.

Well after many set backs finally she is completed. Compression is 197 psi, needs some carb adjustments and plug chops, front end adjustments due to the plus 2 Lonestar a arms but otherwise ready to ride.
Since last postings I assembled handlebars, fixed a very hard to find loss of spark ( replaced the entire wire harness CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) unit)replaced the headlight switch, installed grips, plastics, checked all electronics hardware including stator, voltage regulator, pulse generator for manual specs, heat cycled it, replaced all brake pads, bleed nad ran new fluid to all cylinders, and double checked all torque values on all mountings.

Sounds great... Oh wait I can't hear it video or pictures?
Congrats

Will take some pics later today.

Word or caution, never buy any rebuilt CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) off ebay, I did for this project under the premise that my old one was bad, after changing out the old wire harness with new, and leaving the old OEM CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) in there,the thing runs great, for shits and giggles I installed the new purchased off ebay CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) and it ran terrible, nothing I could do would fix it, I was told off many a forum that these rebuilt CDI (Capacitor Discharge Ignition) are junk and this project proved indeed some are total crap, do not be a fool like me and buy one.

Anybody we know buy it?

Ebay purchase was a nice guy.
