    really with new front and rear fenders, and a seat cover that will be a solid looking AND running machine! You doing a full tear down?

    I agree with JasonB and a 85-86 250r front fender looks realy nice on the second gen 250r.

    Not sure what I am doing yet.... Going to find the plastic and replace a couple seals first..... Probably going to just ride it as is for now and do a tear down later.... I was stoked to pick this baby up for $200....

    Nice find for 200. Looks to be in pretty decent shape.

    For 200 bucks that things a steal! It looks rough but it's like an illusion.. with new plastics and a new seat cover that thing will be damn near mint! The tank looks flawless ..that never happens..Nice find!
