It does have taller seat foam, cr bend high bars, and the fastway pegs in the lower position. Just sitting on it to me is quite comfortable. Actually has more room than my brothers yz450f. The seat height is taller also.
Does this '96 shock look stock or is the bottom of the valve body aftermarket?

Some things to help your motor out, a digital ignition from a newer 250, like 99-01 would be a nice addition. If you can find an older vforce 2, that works better than the 3 on that motor, well most for that matter.
Clean up those powervalves good, and make sure its all working right. The 92-01 pv was simplier than the 86-91 design, but still ive seen more of 92-01 screwed up than working right.
That motor is a jet though, mine had a mild port job, stock compression, thermal coatings, pipe/ silencer, carb, etc and had no troubles pulling me around ( 6'5", 220).
I used a 96 rear shock ( adjustable high spd compression) and a old devol linkage, and twin chambers up front. That bike handled awesome
If you ever feel you need more rear brake, a 240mm rear rotor from a 97-01 will bolt right up, just use a 97-99 rear caliper bracket.
I sold mine back in '15. Miss ripping that thing.
A question, you make the tabs for the skidplate? Or was it like that when you got?
I got the tabs from a circle track supply and drilled the hole to accept a larger diam bolt. I fitted the skid plate (cut off section of a quad skid plate) and welded the tabs. Counter sunk the skid on bottom. I still need drill a drain hole in the skid to get the plug out.
I picked up a nylon Flo yellow bar pad for this. I couldn't pass up the Fly bars though. $25 brand new with a set of Odi lock ons like i use on my X2's and Standup skis.
The ignition and clutch covers were very rough castings. I wasn't very satisfied with them so i spent about an hour sanding.
cheers
Hinson clutch plates and fibers along with springs. I dont think ill opt for a basket or pressure plate just yet- maybe next week lol.
I split the cases tonight. Everything looked fine except for this little nasty. Was a little disappointed in the fact it was busted but i'll take it to work and weld it up.
The good news is i received some more goodies from the santa claus wearing brown last night.

Keep it up that thing is looking super trick! And yeah, that bladder cap is def not stock!
Here's the busted right case after welding and running a boring attachment in the end mill to clean up the weld. It didnt like welding very well at first even though i baked it in the over twice trying to get the oil residue from the casting.

I cerakoted the cases sniper grey.
Where have you folks picked up the Honda Racing ignition cover (or replica)? I managed to find an original Honda Racing clutch cover, but am just having some trouble with the ignition cover and was curious where you folks are finding them (replica is fine).
I have his email if you need
They are who okie got his from. Made from billet.
I got my '01 cylinder and head back from PC. Setup to run race gas. The porting isnt as heavy as i would of expected but ill trust my guy that did my suspension as he was a factory honda mechanic when this bike was new. He says that PC portwork is what the factory bikes looked like back then so we will see.
I need a carb yet and am going with an Air Stryker, but do i go with a stock bore carb or one thats been bored/ported.
My mods thus far are-
Pc porting and head mod
Vforce3 setup
PC Works pipe and silencer
Looking for an '01 electronic
Im thinking of drilling the side number plates as in the past every bike i did this too i had to re-jet bigger. So i know they made more peak power.
Any wisdom on airbox mods or tricks?
Id like to build a carbon fiber airbox this winter. Ive dabbled in carbon fiber parts in the past and i believe i can produce a carbon airbox.
