[katoranger]

Okay. I still have a few pieces. Wife is getting on me about my junk collections.


GY5 wheels front and rear. Disc brake.

Standard Conventional forks.

Bars, Mirrors, brakes,

Nice tires.

Gas tank.

Pegs,

Probably some other little parts. Make me an offer.

Also the frame and title too. I have two of them.

man you better sell that stuff asap. once a wife or gf starts getting on to use guys for our "parts" or "collections" they mean business..

i was getting got onto for my car mags in the bathroom a few months back, guess what.. half of them are now gone, and i didnt get rid of them..

if i happen to see or hear of any one on cl looking for those parts i will put them to you asap, before your in the dog house

[katoranger]

Well, my collection has grown alot over the summer. I have 11 riding mowers right now. Most will be going over the next couple weeks.

I don't have time for the projects I want to complete either. Hopefully after cleaning up the yard I can move on my xr200.

[mizke]

i know how it goes man, you come across something that is a hell of a deal with just a little bit of work. then before you finish or sometimes even start that work you get your hands on something else..

regaurdless i troll cl a few times a day for quads and dirtbikes and even street bikes so if i see those names pop up and they are looking for parts, i will reffer them to your name on this site..

[katoranger]

I have to stay away from craigslist now. Actually I been selling stuff.

Need to make a trip to the scrapyard too. If only I didn't bring stuff home from there. :wink:

[katoranger]

This is what I have left. If you see something make an offer.

Tires are Shinko and like new. Frame has a title.

The electrical parts?

Speedo cable, choke cable, wheels, pegs, etc.

[FastDoc]

Those wheels and tires are super nice. What type tires are they? I wonder if te forks and disk brake front wheel would fit on my XR?

Our Rangers are the exact same color.

[katoranger]

I could measure the forks to see if they are the same diameter. The tires are Shinko dual sport tires, don't know the model off the top of my head.

[Weldangrind]

Doc, you'd want to buy the triples with the forks to be sure that everything lines up. With that in mind, it's the steering stem length and diameter that matters. I have an '83 XR200R front end here, and I could compare it with Kato's stem measurement.

[FastDoc]

I don't want to get too far ahead of myself but it would be cool to have a front disk brake on the XR.

Someone already upgraded the rear wheel to an 18" so I'm good there.

I really like those tires. If I have the XR as my 'hard core' dirt bike I can use Q as a Dualsport and when I wear the knobbies out (doesn't take me long...) those dualsport tires look like just the ticket.

[Weldangrind]

The disc brake upgrade would be well worth it, and there's something poetic about using a China front end and engine in a Honda.

The '83 stock rear is an 18"; when I said that the rear was a 17", I was referring to the 1984 model year.

Chiming in...
Tires are Shinko 705s and had less than 500 miles on them when I parked the bike.
Honest opinion: Very good on the street, decent on gravel. I wouldn't push them on tricky dirt or wet grass (they don't bite well.)

I will try and measure those stems today. Maybe we can make a package deal on some parts.

Bill, thanks for allowing your China bike to live on and give others the opportunity to use the parts. 8)
