Shoot, with the TCS shocks you bought, your over the 1(k). Otherwise I would have TCS myself.

Unless your getting a great deal? If so, help a brother out!

Check this site out and make your own shopping list.
I've seen it on BIRDofPREY's machine and it looks really good.

Just FYI

I had a 1986 Honda TRX250r 14 years ago..when they were in PRODUCTION. Note the word PRODUCTION./ It was a great bike. It blew up in 1992 and i wish i never sold it cause i could have fixed it up but life goes on. If you look on Ebay all you see is trx 250rs for sale all ranging from 2500 to 5000 to 9000.00. If you think that i am STUPID enough to spend 5OOO on a bike that is 14 years old and that some teenager put back together with his dad in his garage and "it really runs well but the oil leaks from the shifter" your out of your mind!!!!!! The bike was 2546.oo brand new!! I still have the reciept somewhere. If Honda still made the 250r i would have considered buying one..but guess what "THEY DON"T MAKE THEM ANYMORE" DUH!!!!!!! Ask a nice itelligent question and this is what you get in return. Why don't you do us all a favor and go back to your Honda forum cause your comments really arn't wanted here. Di dyou know that you can buy a brand new honda 250r motor for $2,800 bucks..and the best part is you get to put it together all by yourself.
