Great looking bike. Its when bikes go so cheap you wish you lived in the states. Is he selling his bike or himself? There are a lot of pics of him with the bike in the background ! :D

That's definitely not helping his sale. It's a very low hour bike though. Someone needs to buy it before he messes it up.

Thanks Hoony, that gets me a bit closer.  My 1984 XR500 hub has a tiny little drum brake set up. I dont suppose you would know if the 1984 CR used the same hub or not. I might attemp an online searh for Honda parts lists around the 1984 era.
Thanks Mick.

They would be different for sure.
Still haven't heard from rls840 regarding the sale x 2  :-\

why is that?

just interested.

Just the demand is low, I guess. Take a look at this '85 that's near mint condition. He's been trying to sell it for months. He'll be lucky if he gets $1,000US for it.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110444757726&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

This '85 is for sale again. He's asking $1,000 for it now and says he's going to part it out if he can't sell it.

Mick-De, the 84 XR and CR rear hubs are different, but not totally. I reckon you could get the CR hub to fit. The only mojor issue i see is that the CR axle is thicker than the XR, which would mean either altering the XR swingarm or maybe find a bearing than fits the CR hub (outer dia) and the thinner XR axle (inner dia). Put on a CR master cylinder up front and you might have some brakes on the XR!
