My bike is still all apart on the garage floor, this was a buddies bike. I'm sure he will have a balst when he can finally take it for a spin. I'm waiting to get my bike finished. Gonna have a stroked XR400......................that will be almost a XR450, a black frame and wheels, Red hubs, CR front end and a ton of motor work to make it one bad *** woods machine

Well i am sure your buddy will hand you the bike for a quick ride~ as for your bike that does sound like a mean machine. Take pictures and document it from the garage floor to the trails outside. I love to see this type of transformation as i usually learn alot from you guys as you go along rebuilding fixing etc. It all helps for when i work on my own ride and sure is lotsof fun to watch a bikego from pieces on the floor to a bike begging to be riden, dont you all agree?!!


Cheers

Wow, I have to say that is the best looking hurricane yz250 I've seen. I actually really like the yellow accents (hubs, etc). They make it look really trick. Good job!!

They look better in the picture than on the bike...............I mean it still looks good on the bike, but I was not happy with how the color turned out and the coverage of the yellow.................but its not my bike............the kid who owns the bike was happy with how it turned out, so its all good. The spokes and rims made the hubs look 10 times better though.

Ahh, that's too bad. The picture looks good.

Still I'm sure he likes it. He is younger though and they tend to like the more "outrageous" stuff that us older fellows don't care too much for

"I have the nicest bike in school" is what he told me when he displayed his bike project at the first of the month.

LOL, well then it's perfect. Good job on helping him with it.
