I bought a 85 cr 250. I have been picking up all kinds of parts for my bike. I have 2 brand new covers (clutch/waterpump). I am willing to sell one of them , maybe both. My cover is in pretty good shape so I might just leave it on. How much do I want for the cover, as much as I can but am interested in 85-86 cr items so trades would be cool. Of course I am after what everybody else is after too - side panels, shrouds, pipe, silencer?????

Now part 2. I was able to pick up a complete front end from a clean 87, I also got the piggy back shock and linkage off of it. I always thought that a 85 frame and 86 were the same except for foot peg mount. The sub frame have a different method for holding the silencer but otherwise the same. I am also under the impression that a 87 frame is the same but subframe quite a bit different due to air box and rear disc brake set up. So here is the question the 87 forks, triple clamps should work great, but what about rear end. Just revalve the stock 85 shock and go on or put the 86/87 linkage and 87 shock. I think the last set up would require buying an 86 swingarm.
