Honda TL 250 info help

Dose anyone have much info of the later model TL 250/230? Some looked to have HRC on some parts.

Not as far as I know but I suspect some parts from the RTL250S (in the background and which was an HRC product) might have made it on to some TL's.

The TLR in the photo just looks like a modified TLR to me. The exhaust, swingarm, rims and fuel tank are modern aftermarket items. The front end is off something else but I cant tell what bike from that photo - maybe a Fantic?

Because the TLR250 motor is a unique design, and because they are very highly regarded amongst twinshock trials riders, and because there were not that many sold new, it would be pretty amazing if a TLR250 motor was available for some other use without buying the whole bike.
There were way more TLR200s and TLR200 Reflexes made but I suspect you might only be after the 250.

Does anyone know where I can buy replacement side covers and mudguards for the early 1975 / 1976 TL250? Or if anyone has some really good secondhand ones they want to sell. Thanks.
