I've been in the process of converting a 1999 CR80 expert to take an 1983 XR200 engine. My goal, as always, is to use as many Honda parts as possible. I cannibalized some parts from a 1984 200X....upper motor mount, front Motor mount and the whole downtube with cradle, and the stock 200X header. I flipped the front motor mount over and cut off the now lower tabs then drilled new holes. The xr200 is a 1/4 inch further to the right in a cr80 than the xr chassis. For the lower rear mounts I cut a set from a 1979 XR200 and after aligning the countershaft sprocket I welded them in. Not really a ton of work. I've got a little ways to go but I thought I'd share.

Why'd you decide to go 4 stroke? Looks like it was a complete bike? Cool swap though!

The original engine has a bad rod bearing and I've had this 200 since it was blueprinted.

Well... I got the roller finished but didn't get any pics. I attempted to remove the engine for sandblasting and it wouldn't come out! Everything was way too close. So I had to cut the cradle out to remove the engine. Now I'm using the cr80 parts to shrink an xr 200. Subframe, rear wheel, front end... Should be cool.
