    your carb honestly looks like one off a 85 250r. thats exactly how mine looks. i also noticed the 200x front end, and rear wheels.

    i like the looks of the 85's alot more too they are just a little too expensive around here for me currently so this one will do for now, i didnt know they made pipes either till i cleaned this one off it surprised me i didnt even know this swinger was on here till i bought it because it was so dirty

    Cool! Good score, I would love an early 250r too. You'd be surprised what a set of plastics and a new seat cover will do to the look.

    Yes man, set of fenders, seat cover and a good cleaning. Hopefully your seat pan is good, but don't sweat it, they are reproduced. Gotta love the first gen. I regret selling mine. It was the bike that started it all. I kept the fatty on the front of mine but the 200x front is a nice upgrade too. Needs different rear tires IMO too and a grab bar. Nice score.
