1984 HONDA 200 m worth savin ?

[dustrunner]

Been resting in the woods many years, gas tank, seat , fenders all shot, as is the tires...and it wont turn over .... :wondering

[tripledog]

The forks are worth a bit if they are in decent shape. Replacement fenders are as rare as hen's teeth (or as we say around here, people teeth). May be best used as parts, but hard to determine without a pic.

Is the tank clean? I'd take a careful look at your strap in this picture, and let it make the decision for you ;)

If you can get it cheap enough, you should be able to make some coin by parting it out. I call dibs on what remains of the seat and front fender ...

[dustrunner]

Sorry T.D.... Got 3 people ahead of you on the seat and front fender....Go figure.... Hopefull the p.o. still has it in the am...

$5 says she purrs like a kitten when fed a little juice. $50-$75 you would be fine,probably more.

[dustrunner]

Owner says it is set up. Maybe a lil bit of mystery oil will free it up ?

[86125m]

yea the chrome rack is kind of rare. I knew it was an option but never actually seen one on a bike. I don't know if i would save it. But honestly my 200m wasn't much better when i got it. However my rear fenders where in amazing shape and the gas tank was perfect on the inside.

The front end looks tweaked.

At minimum for parts to folks that would be grateful to have them

[dustrunner]

Slid in into the truck this am.... looks like an after market rear CHROME rack.... put some tranny fluid and brake fluid in it . maybe that will free it up ?

[tripledog]

Leave it in the truck if you can, and drive down some bumpy roads for a few days. That worked to free a locked motor on a Honda CB500t that I picked up on C list. If memory serves, I used Kroil in the cylinders, and left the bike on the truck for 2 weeks. BTW, congrats on the new toy!

That's what I used to think about Pamela Anderson.

[dustrunner]

Welp, pulled the recoil off this pm and even that is froze up.....That's a 1st fer me... Thanks t.d. I usually like new toys , buy I'm starting to have 2nd thought about this jewel.

Transmission fluid+acetone=ultra penetrating oil.
