    yes i know they are bent. the whole front end is pretty much shot. Currently searching for a new front end. Possibly upgrading to a newer one if i can find one.

    200x for sure and some others with the skinny front tire will bolt right on. Sure is a good upgrate for those old R's.

    how can you tell that the forks are bent, it just looks like an effed up boot to me. but then again it's been a while since I last owned an R. good looking start to your project though

    My son has a cool thing with 1st generation r's. Opened up his web page and must have had 20 pictures he had collected. Great job producing a real rider that is being used. And yeah, keep your eyes open on here for 200x forks, lots of members (we've lost a few good ones though) have tons of 200x parts being sold for good prices, just a little slow now. Way to preserve the tank for another 20 yrs., get it muddy and have a ball.
    83' 200x (son's). 85' 200 auto-x & 85' 125m (daughters). 84' Tecate(?). 85' KXT Tecate (mine!, mine!, mine!.)+ some others but don't feel like typing them in.

    Nice shape. I lke the old school tires in the 1st pic. I did the 200x conversion on my 82. Well worth it. Don't forget to put new stem berings in it. I have 82 forks FS if you dont do the 200x upgrade. I have the complete front brake set up for the 200x FS too. hub, rotor.
    3 CR500R's and counting. Do I really need 4???
    Do I really need 9 Tigers?

    DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.
