Well, as some of you know, several months ago I bought a 1979/80 Honda xr200 in Carolina in decent running shape which I was going to pirate the engine out of for my Nicholson 185s suspension frame. Well, I've been putting around on the bike every once in a while and it's kind of grown on me. That and The Great Gazoo gave me some crap that it would be a shame to break apart a perfectly good running little dirt bike. So, I've been looking and finally found a worthy specimen on ebay. It's another 70/80 xr200, but it has the lights on it and a locked up engine. I picked it up for less than $200 and it has works shocks on it and alot of the light parts that you just can't get anymore, so I had to get it. I will tear that engine apart for the Nicholson and use what I can to put a headlight and taillight on my running xr200. Also, you know I can't do anything without a couple nos parts, so, I've picked up some nos for the xr200 as well. So here soon, I hope to get the lights on the xr200 and pluck the locked up engine out to get it torn down for the Nick engine build. I have pics of both xr200s, the runner and the pile too. Hope you like them. Also, I'm still looking for better/other bits for the headlight install on the xr200, but will do some straightening out of what I have, but would like to find a correct speedo or what else other members may have to get rid of. Feel free to drop me a pm if you have any nice 79/80 xr200 bits. Here are the pics of the original running xr.158137158138
