You know your forks are bent right?

yes i know they are bent. the whole front end is pretty much shot. Currently searching for a new front end. Possibly upgrading to a newer one if i can find one.

200x for sure and some others with the skinny front tire will bolt right on. Sure is a good upgrate for those old R's.

how can you tell that the forks are bent, it just looks like an effed up boot to me. but then again it's been a while since I last owned an R. good looking start to your project though

My son has a cool thing with 1st generation r's. Opened up his web page and must have had 20 pictures he had collected. Great job producing a real rider that is being used. And yeah, keep your eyes open on here for 200x forks, lots of members (we've lost a few good ones though) have tons of 200x parts being sold for good prices, just a little slow now. Way to preserve the tank for another 20 yrs., get it muddy and have a ball.

Nice shape. I lke the old school tires in the 1st pic. I did the 200x conversion on my 82. Well worth it. Don't forget to put new stem berings in it. I have 82 forks FS if you dont do the 200x upgrade. I have the complete front brake set up for the 200x FS too. hub, rotor.
