made some good progress on the 250x today, polished the nerfs, ceramic coated the header, cleaned up the muffler, installed the spark arrestor plates properly, put the missing bolts in the nerf bars, painted and cleared the plastics, soooo.... before.....

Those nerfs are amazing how did you do that? Sand with 1000 grit then polish with compound?

Also i like the qaud,looks good for its year.
 
man you love painting plastic dont you? lol looks nice n shiny like the one im buying, ill post up pics we will have to make a thread to vote for the best 250x..lol whare did you get that paint for the header? i like it
 
well.. in the looks dept.. i have less than 10 bucks into making it look better, since the power cone and polish i already had same with the cermaic header paint..

to answer some questions..

for the nerf i used mother mag& aluminum polished with a mother power cone, on a black and decker corded drill.. went over them twice first pass moving the power cone in the oposit direction it is spinning, second pass is moving it back and forth.. like in a cuttion motiong with a saw,
exhaust paint, its from VHT an can be orderd off line or in stock at most car parts store, its called vht flame proof, its made for 1500-2000 degree exhaust temps, its made for manofolds and headers, you spray it on just like you would spray paint, than let it dry, than cure it,
by curing it on the quad you let if run for a while so it gets hot, let it cool than run to get hot again, than cool, than ride..

my riding was doing wheelies in the back yard for 15 min,


and thanks for the complements guys,.. i had to paint this one the plastics were soo beat, and stil are but the pait hids alot of it, i am gonna order maier race fronts and normal maier rears once funds alow cuz i dont like cracked plastics..

and again thanks everyone
 
yeah, my x has black maier race plastic front and back i love how it looks, maybe some 250x plastics on my blasty, that would mess with some people..lol
 
the only thing changed with the 300ex, was electric start,bigger stroke.. the cylinder bores are exactly the same so pistons will work in the 300 and the 250... theres a company that sells stroker cranks for the 250 that make it a 300, its just a 300ex crank/rod
 
ehh.. idk.. the power would be nice and its 2 stroke... itp rims, itp hole shots, new top and bottom end, nerfs, ac bumper. dg front pipe with fmf silencer, race cut fronts ( aftermarket not cut stocks) yamaha blaster kill switch/ lighting switch lol.. liquid cooled, idk.. its alot faster now than when i raced him with the blaster.. the fmf pipe sucked on it, the dg works better he said it will power wheelie in 3rd now since changing the pipe..

its run 32:1 with pro honda hp2 the same stuff i run in my 2 strokes... its fast and better suspension chassie than im usedto.. its just hard to get past the rep the lt250r's have


its in my driveway right now.. ill tak e apic of it.....
