Well...

I went out today to aquire a complete bike and a " Bunch of parts " ... enough to make a 2nd one.

not quite as i expected, but still got enough to make one complete runner with minor extra investment.

Can anyone tell me if Xr 200 R ' s between 88 and 91 ish... have reservoire shock in the rear and air valves up front ? the front forks look beefier than expected on an XR.. told they could be CR 125.

Gonna take a while but i'll have a sweet bike by the time i'm done.

Thanks Rob !

I doubt that they would but Ive heard ones from those years had great suspension.

Not bad eh "G" a few hundread bux in it and you'll have a good little bike,if you need parts i'd almost bet tingleys would have something....i'd like to try that beat out when your done....i rode a xr250 and it had balls i'm curious about the 200's....what kind exhaust is on it?i bet a DG or supertrapp would sound nice.

I was miss informed they did have air assist forks. Dont know about the shock though.

this is a suzuki site. but aparently the 17 character Vin's are universal.. the 10th character tells the year.

H = 1987

The swingarm has a " Kayaba " sticker that i can't find on any websites... what gives.

this is gonna be a frankenbike for sure !! LOL.

Makes ordering parts difficult.
