best thing for an old bike is just buy a new clutch cable. They are around $18. there is probably so much grit in there it is making the clutch pull stiff, unless some moron used heavy duty stiff springs when they changed the clutch!

So, 5 months later and I am all done with it. Of course the summer here in Phoenix doesn't allow you to work in the garage much so it took a lot longer than expected but I have been riding and fine tuning it now for almost 2 months. I think it is awesome. I'm not sure yet if I like it more than my 350X but it is definitely close. I have a couple of small details yet to complete like swapping out the gold front rim for a silver one and getting some new handlebars and fabing up a set of aluminum tank shrouds. Other than that I think it is complete.

i like 2nd generation r the best they seen like they would be lighter weight and have lower center of gravity than the 85-86 and they look good too. I have an 85r but I would almost rather have an 83-84 because I am only 165 pounds and could throw on of those around more easily

This is plenty quick for sure! I just wish it had 1 more gear, I always find myself trying to shift up in 5th gear

I like the color shceme! Great work! I am going to run white fenders on my 84 R as well (already have the front), I really like the look of them. What did you use for the number plate? Wouldnt it be sweet to make some replica SRP super scoops for the R tank out of aluminum sheet? Im deffinatly going to do it! I did it on my 200x, and it really stands out, and looks great. Thanks for sharing!
