The black rims were a last min idea...the rear rim was so bad it needed to be thrown out...this tusk rim fit the bill..but was black...so the front rim joined it....and the fork covers in blue didnt match the seat blue at all...so black they went...i kept all the stock parts i hate seeing bikes parted out...but the need is real and sometimes to save one we must let the very poor ones go...

Nice bike, I have an 87 CR80 to finish up at some point. Do you happen to have any spare plastics that you are looking to sell?

Very nice build, I'm looking for a 87' CR-80R myself, they seem to be hard to find.

We did a redo of a 1989 cr80, impossible to find plastic for. Thankfully ours were salvageable. Ended up going to a guy who had every 1989 Honda mx bike for his collection. I have a ton of original manuals if anyone needs them

Do you have a manual for the 87 CR80? I would be interested in buying one if available.

I do have a Honda shop manual for 85-91. Moto fun fact, it came from Brett smiths (we went fast) dad when we bought their 1993’s off them in 1994! Still has his name and number written in it.

I sent you a couple of PMs butI am guessing that you aren’t getting them. If you are looking to sell one of you manuals send me another PM with your email or phone info and I will reach out.

Im 49 and my dad bought me this same bike off the showroom floor in 1986. I think I was in the 7th grade. It was $1095 and I ran the piss out of it. Good job and thanks for sharing.
