Crikey ,for $5,000 you'd want the tank stickers put on straight at least.
-
It sure is purty though.... ::)
Just remember that the NOS exhaust pipes can go for >US$1000 each, so there are some difficult to get parts on that bike... ;)

AJ
That XR75 K1 has a modified K4/5 XR75/79 XR80 pipe on it, the tail pipe has been cut off to make it look like an early pipe, you can still buy the late pipes from Honda for $210, their is a few things wrong on the bike, they are
Tire info decal on chain guard, should be on rear guard.
Chain guide & rear brake stay black, should be zinc colour.
Throttle cable through front number plate, should be behind plate.
Uses K2/3 front brake cable guide, should have KO/K1 type behind number plate on plate bracket.
Wrong colour used on engine cases.
Missing taco blanking plug (rubber) on clutch cover.
Missing rubber caps on clutch/brake levers.
Honda tank wings wrong postion.
Info decals missing on tank.
Rear shock decals facing out should be facing in.
Later model rims used
Front/Rear guards mounting plates are black should be zinc
Wrong finish (polished) on forks/rocker cover/ center fly wheel cover and brake backing plate
Front engine bolts fitted wrong way round.
Exhaust warning decal in wrong postion on swing arm.
Missing the opac plastic band for the kill switch cable.
Clutch cable/kill switch cable not routed through the handle bar clamp guide.
Swing arm bolt has washer on chain side should not be their.
He claims it is perfect and finished as standard, I know I have been a bit anal about this but if you are asking that sort of money he should have done a bit research on finishing this XR75
PS: He strated the auction at $7000 then reduced back to $5000
-
Jeez Dave, very anal of you! That's the great thing about this forum and the vintage movement in general. If you don't know something about a particular bike there is definitely someone out there who does. I was impressed by your knowledge of these little tiddlers when we had a few beers at the Coffs Nats. I'm amazed you can spot so much wrong with that XR from the photos. Good work.
The latest news from AJ is that he now has two of those GRM, Mexican trials bikes on the water. One will probably be for sale so I'd reckon you'll need it to park next to the Coopers! Catch you at CD5
-
Hey thanks Betric... :o
Quite a few of those "little things" you have highlighted are pretty easy to fix though.
I must admit that my first viewing of the photos did raise alarm bells regarding the pipe - due to the unusually large size of the outlet.
I also didn't know that the later pipes were still available - I've got a Red XR that needs one... 8)
Maybe there are bits on my K1 that are "more stock" than this one... ;D

My 1977 XR75 project. XR100 front end to give little a lift, having a banana swingarm made up for it now by one of the VMX forum members. Thinking about a Poweroll 120cc stroker kit. Anyone use one these? Curently the engine is XL75 which use later 5 speed top end yet still ( Dunno why ) used the old 4 speed gearbox.

That pipe is an absolutely marvelous job. full credits. Wonderful piece of work. In fact the whole package is fantastic looking machine. Everthing seems to just work, fits together beautifully

any reason you exited it on the LHS instead of the usual RHS?
-
Yep i had trouble buying genuine kickstarter that folds out to clear the pipe,$15 cheapy and poked it out the L/H side.
-
Dodgee..where are you!! This man has what I believe is the ex Derim Porter full DG XR80 still with the mini Betors an' all :) I can't think who else had one at the time but there wearn't many in Oz..
KB..I have to admit your unit is unique and extremely desirable and you've done a fantastic job! 8)

top job KB, have you still got it?
-
Shit yeah. Its the new thing to drink around in the garage.
What model is your Cr 80? I have 2 near - new front and rear guards to suit a 82 - 85 model, if you need them.
-
its YzHilly that has the CR80 RG "1986" .
-
Never thought I'd say this when Hoony was in earshot, but that is one sexy little Honda. Well done KB - it's a credit to you mate. Including the home made exhaust (which looks great) and the dunny lid number plates (which also look great).
A real example of enginuity at work.
-
Dodgee..where are you!! This man has what I believe is the ex Derim Porter full DG XR80 still with the mini Betors an' all :) I can't think who else had one at the time but there wearn't many in Oz..
Derrim is working for me next weekend, can we get some pics posted up of the DG bike ??
-
Gdy Doc, there aint no DG bits on this one, I'm to much of a tightarse,I usedYZ80 triples,RM80 forks an wheels,home brew swingarm, removable lower frame,YZ brake pedal ,runs over footpeg,and a few alloy bits carved out with drills n files and alot of stubbies,the rest was stripped, painted an polished very close to the fridge.Cheers
-
KB, that is exactly why I like it so much! ;)
-
The XR 75 that started this is back on ebay $4000 this time ,no bids yet.
-
