... not the early aircooled ones I'm afraid. Only DG still carries a pipe for it, Maier does still make plastic for it, and Boyesen makes a set of replacement reeds. Other than that, OEM parts are becoming scarcer every day, and the junk yards arn't exactly filled up with early R's like they are 200X's. Now, that said ..... I would still buy it, just know what you're getting into and restoring it will be that much more rewarding.

yeah if you are looking for an R that you will be able to find parts for very easily then get an 85 or above. there is an endless supply of aftermarket hop up and stock parts for 85 and up.

well i went and checked it out and it in good shape, except for the plastics and rear tires. he told me if i wanted i could trade him my 110 and $100, the 110 is in ok running shape he wants it for his son. i think ima trade it. im gonna go back later today and finish the deal. then im gonna stop at the bike shop and order new plastics, tires, and handlebars.

I've had a few aircooled R's,and i mean to tell ya they are quick. Not the fastest. There handling is pretty good too. You can find some good aftermarket parts for them,just have to search ebay for them. To bad some people don't give aircooled R's enough credit,they deserve.

Doh!!! I'm a freaking idoit! I was thinking it was an 85/86. :opps: Its still cool though.

Thanks man. I always spell idiot wrong lol. It will be even wilder when I get a working carb on there. It will run with my stock carb, but it's a basket case carb and it runs extremely lean, and it's not worth it to dump any money into that carb. I tried an '86 250R carb, that didn't work. So I'm gonna go with the classic 350X carb swap, hopefully soon, then it sould really haul.
