thanks,

i checked your photo page, looks like it just rolled out of a crate, youve done a wonderfull job of restoring it,

 

Bulldog, nice R! I was going the stock route but got a deal on my white plastic!

 

One things for sure you ATC guys like to have a nice and tidy ride, cant wait to get cracking on mine, gona try and do most of it my self this time, just never had the time with the zilla, it was better to get the work done than let it become an "unfinished project"

 

I'm sure that your 85' R is nice.
Personally - my 85'R is in stock condition - cept' a K&N and wheels and tires.

I've just changed the oil and fed it 40:1 golden spectro. Never any troubles..

Zilla- all you need is time and some disposable income to make a really nice ride. Just take your time, do your homework and get it the way YOU want it; after all thats what its all about in the end [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Mods can be as crazy or as mild as you like, depending on whether you are an experienced rider or new to the game. I put a V-Force Delta 2 Reed Valve in my R after xmas, made a nice little pickup on lower end grunt, faster getting on the pipe as well. There is always the 310cc or bigger kits from CT racing or Eddie Sanders- The ESR 310 Kit is bolt on and delivers a pretty good wallop, but Ive never ridden one.

You should have no trouble finding common parts from average retailers, smaller parts that have been out of production for a while can be a challenge, bikebandit.com has a pretty good selection, but prices can be steep depending on the rarity of the part you need. Have fun with you R!



thanks for the nice comments guys- The white plastic makes your R look like a HRC bike from the 80s- nice resto job MarkDB!
