The 60 Dollar R!

[HondaHarry]

Found this through a freind, some guy had it and broke his arm on it, and I guess blew it up (engine is locked up) must not have been that long ago because it still has 2006 registration tags (could have fooled me this thing is rough!) But like everyone here, I could see through all of that. Its got a +4 axle, Paul Turner Type 6 pipe, and a +2 Westcoast!!!
(Ive been bragging about it for a few days now in the chat room) but finally got pics.

The Swinger is weird though, its gotta be a Westcoast, but it dosent have the adjustable shock mount, and no skidplate mounts. (im thinking its an early one or something) who knows, either way its gonna get cleaned up and mounted on my 85.

Anyway, I originally paid 200 bucks for it. (gladly) but the guy came back later with a bunch of parts to give me (misc 250R stuff, some goodies there too) and said he felt bad for asking so much for it and gave me 140 back.

I'd have almost felt guilty accepting the money. Almost.

I like the weld marks on the swinger, hate to tell you, it looks like a stocker extended. i would have loved to have that for $60 still. I would have bought it for $200 too, it has intact engine cases.

[Bryan Raffa]

are you kidding me awsome deal!

[HondaHarry]

hey Deathman, yeah I thought the same thing when I saw the welds, but they are only on the left outer half of the swinger, other side is fine... (im thinking it got water in it and froze then split the metal?) And the swinger itself tapers from smaller to larger from front to rear (just like the westcoast) the taper is hard to see in the pics but it is there and as far as I know westcoast was the only manufacturer to make thier swinger that way, but I may be wrong, the non adjustable shock mount is odd too. there is alot of similarities to a westcoast, but a few differences as well, who knows what it is? I'll get some better pics of it when I get it off the bike this weekend. The axle is wierd too, looks just like a stock axle but its 4 inches wider (no spacers or anything) it dosent look that wide in the pics because it has 84 250R rims mounted on it backwards (valve stems are inwards) if I flip those around it will be even wider than it is now. Thanks. HH
