Thanks guys...It was a labour of love. I wanted something different to the usual XR motor sitting in a CR80 frame. It's all Honda apart from the rear shocks. Took a bit of nutting out to graft CR seat, tank and swingarm onto the XR frame, but I'm happy with the result. It sits proudly in my hallway. I have no plans to ride it. I'm a big boy now so I play on grown up bikes  :o
