hey guys
i can pick up a 86 CR/XR80 for cheap
the frame seems to be an 86 CR80 with a XR80 (year unknown) engine mounted in it
i know jack about these bikes but here are some observations

it has a front disc brake and conventional forks

actually, forget the description, heres a picture



so, my questions are : what year is this ?
can i fit newer plastics on it ?
(there are quite a few complete bodies on ebay: tank, seat, fenders, shrouds, number plates for 98 and up, whould these fit)
is there anything i should look for ?

i dont plan to keep this bike for long, just buy it, clean her up a but and flip it



any thoughts ?

tell you what, you help me flip this thing and i will use the profit (sales price minus purchase, parts and time) and become a fully priviledged supporting member

Damn, over 1,000 posts and you are on here 24/7 and you aren't already a supporting member?

Dude. just run away from this one!! Why be the guy on craigslist flipping Frankenbikes??

honoustly, it just seemed like a fun project, plus the asking price was right
though i dont think anything will come from it, i send the guy and email and left him a voice mail yesterday and i havent heard anything back

Bikes like that take a lot of time and effort to figure out.

I belive that the admins haven't yet offered him enough money to become a supporting member.

or at least send me a few of those "KDXider" decals we've been talking about

im not asking for much, as long as its free ;)
