I redid the motor last year i can offically say i bought the last piston in america that wasnt std bore.
Sounds like a rich man's project who is otherwise bored

It's got everything but blinkers , most of the work is just taking apart and repainting, or rechroming. But my 230 needs my attention at the moment since its what i ride the most now.

1989 SUZUKI LT250R FRONT SHOCKS SUSPENSION | eBay
if it works yay! its a $36 dollar gamble though, i know they will fit but what if they blow out soon

Before you buy anything on ebay, check for the same item at ebid. The same seller may list the same stuff at ebid and charge less because ebid charges less. Need to support ebid anyway... ebay charges way too many fees. You need a Phd and a team of lawyers to figure out how many ways ebay is going to screw you once you decide to list something there.

those old amf harley enduros are pretty hard to find and starting to get slightly collectible. I'd hold on to it for now, its likely to get pretty valuable since it has the three big things going for it: 1.old, 2.rare, 3.says HARLEY on it.

Especially if its running and you have the title. sounds like it only needs a blinker kit to be streetable. I wouldnt sell it

Can anyone with a dg rcm exhaust measure the outer diameter of the muffler. I found some clamp on spark arrestors for when i go riding on state land, but they only go up to a 3 inch diameter
