Quite a different front clip swap
By: Chuckie25 Date: August 22, 2013, 1:03 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I didnt want to post anything until I had parts in hand and had
at least the frame cut but......
So,, I've got this 88 LT250R rolling chassis i had bought.. I've
also got a nice 87+ bottom end with a fresh crank and fresh
trans bearings........ but the 88 frame was cut and redone to
accept the 85/86 engine. Well, i would have to cut this frame
anyway to put the spare motor i got in it. And while I'm at it I
figured I'll go ahead and replace the complete cradle, all new
tubing from the lower mount forward and up the downtube,,, and
do a Tecate-3 front clip while I'm at it.

My plan is to have the 86 ATC250R rake angle with an 85 Tecate-3
front end because theres not enough room on the frame to mount
side saddle style radiators.
.
So thats it. I let the secret out. A few people already know
about it and may mess with me for telling already (lol).
I cant wait to get this thing built. I literally have everything
for the Suzuki half of this build except for a top end. I
already need to get one for my 87 so i will buy 2 when i can.
Alright, lets all hope this goes well!!

Ok so apparently, thanks to a fella on another site, needing to
know the Honda rake is unimportant because the trail is what's
more important. I was planning to match the front geometry of
the 86 Honda for this one but I guess that plan is changed now.

Nice. That measurement will be easier to take. Now if someone
can take if off an atc250r while with some weight on it? Please!
It is just a simple little
measurement.

This is kinda how the frame will look. Just try and imagine a
t-3 front end on it lmao I did this with Microsoft paint. I only
use the best of the best for frame design B) LMFAO

This will mostly be a play/trail bike. More than likely will
turn some laps on our practice tracks (dirt oval) and maybe at
an mx track if they would let me.

Chuckie. I have been wanting to do this for a while just havent
gotten to it. Loose the whole box on the back tube its sheet
metal and not very stiff. Also the two tubes that come forward
there of no value at all.
Here's the questions
What fuel tank you gona use trying for Suzuki theme? Older RM ?
Or just steal a early black Tecate tank, Honda R?
Radiator style. Early Tecate easy or dual rads? Its all going
to dictate how you position the triple tree and head set.
The trick lower engine setup would be to bend a single tube
with the pipe loop in it andtie it into the single drop that's
there now.
Just a couple Ideas I had. A possibility for fuel tank is also a
early yz 250 83 -87 era if you like square and 88 ish to keep
the body style.
