See the one in profile. You'll love it. What is the ebay #. I noticed you were in the Zuki forum and were thinking of LT 250. My 85 ATC 250r, is great and in my races with several modified Banshees, it holds its own. It is mildly ported and as soon as I get a better carb it should increa the top end enough to win all the time instead of every other time in drag races.

Bulldog, nice R! I was going the stock route but got a deal on my white plastic!

I'm sure that your 85' R is nice.
Personally - my 85'R is in stock condition - cept' a K&N and wheels and tires.
I've just changed the oil and fed it 40:1 golden spectro. Never any troubles..

85-86 250r atc shares a lot of the aftermarket the TRX's do. anything from some suspension to almost all engine performance items. unfortunately things like plastics and gastanks are becoming discontinued or costly. i recently purchased a rear fender from honda and it wouldve cost me close to 250 had it not been for a friend working at the dealer.

One things for sure you ATC guys like to have a nice and tidy ride, cant wait to get cracking on mine, gona try and do most of it my self this time, just never had the time with the zilla, it was better to get the work done than let it become an "unfinished project"

Zilla-
I bought my 86 off ebay- picked it up last summer, it was a wreck, but half the fun for me is fixing and wrenching on it until its the way i want it(check it in my profile). I buy parts on the web at denniskirk, rockymountainatv and off ebay, watch ebay though, sometimes people get nuts buying stuff- example- Front fender for 86 250R went for 70 bucks- buy them new for 40- just my .02- good luck with the project

Zilla- all you need is time and some disposable income to make a really nice ride. Just take your time, do your homework and get it the way YOU want it; after all thats what its all about in the end BR>
Mods can be as crazy or as mild as you like, depending on whether you are an experienced rider or new to the game. I put a V-Force Delta 2 Reed Valve in my R after xmas, made a nice little pickup on lower end grunt, faster getting on the pipe as well. There is always the 310cc or bigger kits from CT racing or Eddie Sanders- The ESR 310 Kit is bolt on and delivers a pretty good wallop, but Ive never ridden one.
You should have no trouble finding common parts from average retailers, smaller parts that have been out of production for a while can be a challenge, bikebandit.com has a pretty good selection, but prices can be steep depending on the rarity of the part you need. Have fun with you R!
thanks for the nice comments guys- The white plastic makes your R look like a HRC bike from the 80s- nice resto job MarkDB!
