Couple years ago i bought a 86 lt250r project. for 75$ i couldnt say no. the only problem was this thing was 100% in pieces, bare frame and 2 boxes of parts lol! i got it home and just said what did i get myself into. I tinkered with it for a few found out the swing arm was cracked in many places so it was trash immediately lol. Soon as i saw that i stopped working on it and its been sitting ever since. its to bad thought becuz that would be an awesome project i just dnt have the time or money for it now. Sold a couple things off of it here and there so if you need something let me know bud
for starters I need a swing arm bolt barrings any spacers
Clutch cable just had to saw my swing arm bolt apart
I will check my stock pile for the bolt. Bearings are prolly a no as well as any bolts. Some guy offered me 40 for my coffee can of bolts, i couldnt say no..... spacers might e there to, i will let you know!
Update*** 9/27/2012 engine is kinda stuck lol the bolt was cut on each side of the swing arm... but the swing arm is still connected to the motor still needs more cuting lol side covers are off an being polished ... will have befor an after pix for tomro and let you guys know how i did it an how it turned out =)
