    What motor would fit in a 83/84 R ?

    Hi Does anyone know what motor would fit in a 83/84 250R ? I know of a 350x motor I could lay my hands on and theres a 83/84 R on ebay thats quite cheap at the moment but some numbnut has put a honda cg125 4 stroke motor in it , so what else would fit relatively easily ?

    Cheers In advance

    well there will be some fabricating. the 83-4 250r's chain comes out on the right side(sittin on trike). the 350X chain is on the left. the 250r engine is now where near as tall as the 350x engine so head clearance will be an issue.

    That R on ebay looks completely shagg@d, i wouldnt go for it, i looked and considered it but i bet he just hacked the frame up. Better off waiting for something better to come up. But......... you will be competing with me too lol!. (dont worry you get first pick)
