This is how she finally sits after allot of fabrication work. The short of it is.....

81R frame, tank and rear fender with 82R upgrades(ie rear master for disk brakes).
Tri-Z swinger carrier and axle.
200X front end.
Yamaha Blaster motor.

The long of it is that about 5 years ago I come across this 82R for a dollar at a local auction here in town. It was in really bad shape and the frame was trashed. I sold off most of the bike here and there. but I kept the frame and then ended up with an 81R in a trade. It too needed allot of tlc.... I wanted to build this one up because it is the mother of all racing. but the cost and availability drove me to go with a Blaster motor. I then spent the next few years as I thought about it, trying to work out all of the hows and whys.... I have had allot of oppinions about this trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotr ailpro of a bike, but I will see it through to its end.
