If my memory serves me right....it won't work with a Hondaclone motor....but nothing wrong with asking.
This is my brother-in-laws. Rotting behind the barn. He says it's a 250. Don't know if it's an XR, XL or X-something else. All I know is the gooseneck says it's a 1980 model, made in 7/79 and 'off road use only'....which leads me to believe it's an XR....but it has the little mounts for gauges????????? He got it '49-th hand'....so who knows. The head has two exhaust ports and a 2-into-1 headrer pipe.
Anyway, is this one of the non-ressurectable bikes where I can't drop in a Hondanoid motor?
