i have some free time in the metal shop so i decided to finish what i started last year, a model 250r. I made it all from scratch. I used metal rods fro the frame, wire that i twisted around the rods to make the springs, and i used the lathe to get the shape of the shock bodies. Its been sitting a while so i have to wire wheel the rust off. I think i exaggerated on the LT front end lol. Let me know what u think of it.

At one time, Kmart had models of 250R's that size. They were the same company that made the Baja trucks. They came in blue or red and would be perfect for what your doing. I'll find out the company name and let you know.:usa
