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!

Wow, you stole that thing!!! its cherry and on top of everthing your pulling a rain man on it? WOW!!!
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.

Looks Great!
tahat is real clean i love the look
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!
