my 86r leave it original or restore. what would u do?

[thornton]

i have a nice 86r its pretty much all original and in great shape. i have been back and forth on doing some upgrades/restore. but dont know what to do.right now its all stock. what would u do?

[Dirtweed]

I wouldn't touch one if it looked like that, but I have NEVER found one looking like that. Keep it cleaned and lubed
and enjoy. When something breaks then I'd do the upgrades.

Looking at it again....maybe some new tires. :)

Its worth way more looking like that. Save that one...it will go up in value. Find another one to add aftermarket stuff to. But that's just me.

[thornton]

ya im going to keep it the way it is. i wanted to do a pipe and a few things but i dont have the heart to change anything on it.hopefully i can pick another one up this summer so i can make a nasty r.

[thornton]

i would like to try to get my old r back if anybody has seen it.

You didn't build that blue one from parts bought from a guy in my area did you? He had amassed a complete R in parts for a blue/silver build.. I would buy your stock R Tuesday,and you could go buy one to ride...

[thornton]

maybe some off the blue and white bike came from guy in phillipsburg pa he started the project and i ended up finishing it.

Thornton: I remember seeing your R for sale on CL a couple of years back. Nice looking.

[Dirtcrasher]

Sell it to me and buy another R to build :beer

[thornton]

well not really looking to part with it,but you never know for the right cash offer or trade that could change

[86T3]

I was going to jokingly say to leave it alone because you're probably going to sell it in a month but you beat me to it. Lol

[thornton]

the 86 r is defenitly staying original now. i ended up picking up a descent 83 r so now i have something i can tinker with.

[86125m]

That's great man. Ive done the same thing with my my bikes. I am leaving my 86 125m in original condition because it is so nice. and I have a 200m and going to pick up a 200x tomorrow and they are going to keep me busy.
