I posted some new pics of my 250R after it's facelift in my Gallery. The pics proabaly won't be ready to view for awhile (moderator approval). The bike got a new pipe (ESRTRX-5 center mount), Cool Head, 39 pwk carb, shock wears, new seat cover, tank cover, black wheels, radiator shrouds, etc. It had a nicely ported 265cc cylinder for about 2 hours until it cracked from front to back[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] So, for now it has a stock cylinder. I have been in touch with several builders about porting another cylinder for Dune/Agressive trail. We'll have to see!

 

Nice R man.

 

Clean R, that zilla is really nice too. I really dig that 400 tho. Just curious, what kind of wheels are those? Im interested in some black wheels.

 

hey dude by how much does that zilla out run that 250r even bored that bikes really nice also that 250r is really nice does that zilla scare you any? has anyone out run you? besides other zillas?

 

The wheels on the KFX and the R are the same set. They are regular Douglas wheels (.160's) that I ruffed up with Scotch-Brite and sprayed Black (the wheels were brand new, no scratches or dirt). I painted them with Rust-Oleum (3 coats black, 2 coats clear). So far they are holding up well.

Unfortunately I sold the Zilla. Right guy, right money and it went. Probably won't ever be replaced (maybe a Banshee or another R, but no Zilla). The Zilla had a ton of mods (drag porting, big carb, pipe, etc) and would absoltely walk the 250R and most anything else around here. There really is no replacement for displacement!

thanks for the reply. now i need to research the paint that comes on wheels and determine which will hold up better. The wheels look excellent tho, i may look into that.
