Can't believe it lol when you asked who's name was on the head I just took a look and it's me from the mid 80s . I built a lot of motors so I'm going to have to rack my brain and to figure it out .

The holes near the neck are were the air inlet covers were removed .
Exhaust is the early version TC racing made .
Rear axle is a Durablue.
Progressive rear HD spring .
Stock extended rear swinger .
Not sure on the front forks , either 350x or 250r ?
Hoping it still has all the race parts in the motor still .

Congrats on pulling it from the ashes. Dont know why it wouldn't still have the internal goodies.

TC pipe...ahhh, very cool. I hope that can be restored.

Wish it had the TC dual plug head...that would make it even cooler.

The mystery is finally solved on the original owner racer of this 84 200x , his name is Glenn Smith , been trying to get it touch with him .

Took a few minutes today and bolted all the loose parts back on .

Understandable. Either way, it'll be with someone who appreciates it.

Thanks for the update! I didn't want to resurrect an old thread but my curiosity got the best of me.
