Just finished reading Storminnormans post on his epic Cr85/Xr80 build. Inspired? You bet. However, I'm considering using the XR100 frame with the CR bits as bolt on ('84 front end should be a bolt on anyway).
I bought the CR first looking for a winter project, however the engine from the drain bolt up is completely scrap, bottom ends are impossible to find complete (they've all been parted on fleabay) and the Atac valve makes a mess of using later model stuff. To be honest, I'm a four stroke guy at heart anyway and the mighty 100 suits my riding style better (slow & steady).
I'm picking up the XR100 tomorrow (ad says 1990, but I believe 1997 judging by the plastics and seat?)
Anyway, can't wait to get started.
