looking forward to having a ride on a few of my 80's sometime as I haven't grown any since 15 and I still feel very comfortable riding them..if only they had a little more stick..like an extra 320cc's then I'd have never moved on :D

plush after the pre'75 CR eh KB :D I'm seriously hunting an '88 RM250 to fit my little windfall of parts into but I'm worried I may never wish to go back to the old girls after riding something with 'working' suspension that doesn't displace my floating vertibrae..like the zooks I have a full floater back as well I need to look after cause it can't be rebuilt so easily if at all :D

I;m running the pre 60 version, no bump stops at all in the lower 3  :( makes you stand up while riding a lot more  ;) one Chiro said it was the 2nd worst case he'd worked on  :-\ Prick told me to stop riding, that was in 1998. Bugger that  :P

I posted a thread about converting a CR 500 into atwin shocker. I have a CRF 100 single socker, your XR project has given me the inspiration of building/ converting the CRF as a pilot project ahead of starting my CR 500.
I going to start measuring today.

fortunately KB my bump stops are still there but they're a little squished out of shape and the little wing thingy's that stop you bending back too far are broken clean off..oops :-\ I wish I had a really good war story I could relate to it but sadly I dunno how or when it happened as the breaks wearn't recent when discovered ::) so long as I wrap myself in my 'girdle' I'm just fine ;D ... usually :-\

That HL is amazing KB, the workmanship just blows me away. Its the best thing you could do to a honda ;) . I hope you are going to bring it to CD6 so I can see it in the flesh.

KB, dont let a little thing like transport get in the way of number 6 in a row, when you could fly up to CD6 and you can have a few rides on my bike (just watchout for the rear brake  ;) )
