84 CR 80 in 87 XR colors

Thanks 👍

-the fender is bigger than stock, but it doesn't look huge in real life. I took the pics on my phone and it kinda distorted it. The side views kinda looks like a fish eye lens. I wanted it to look like it "belonged" on the bike. I put it on and checked it from many views and angles. You are right...it does look huge... especially at the side. A different camera might help that. Anyway....thanks for the comment.

Thanks man!!!

Thanks man! I'm glad you didn't enter your 80 in the Broke 2 Built contest...I wouldn't have stood a chance!! That pipe looks awesome! I love your disc swap on the front👍 is that a KLP swing arm on the back? I didn't have the funds to get the gold rims so I went with the wraps.....but I wish I had your rims. Your bike (and the 85) look amazing!!

The side covers are not paint. I ordered them from DC PLASTICS. They didn't offer them in white, but I just emailed them and they said they could do it. They are just a hair larger than stock. I suspect they are vacuum formed over the originals. If you lay it on the stock plates it fits almost perfectly...hence my theory. DC wouldn't be my first choice for a restoration, but if you plan on the bike being riden or you want a different color like mine it works ok. If I did more plastic from them I'd order it "uncut" . Your plastic is as good as the floor worker is feeling any day of the week. I've gotten really good plastic as well as unusable. Also with DC, it's helpful to know how to polish plastic as their plastic is very dull. But for my bike I had to have the white side plates or I couldn't get the XR feel I was going for.

I still have all the original plastic. We aren't getting rid of this CR, it's a family bike. We'll hang on to it all in case someone wants to take it back to stock some day. Thanks for the reply and pics man!

Thanks🤘

OMG MAN!!!!! That KX is amazing!!! If they do a 2024 B2B (sure they will) you gotta enter (maybe you already have....not familiar with every name out there) The only problem is I wouldn't stand a chance. I'm so envious of the KLP swing arms....I've wanted to go that route for a long time but it's always come down to cost. His Coke bottles are a work of art!! Those 85 KX 80s were rockets! That was a good year. The CR was no match for that little son of a gun. (As I remembered anyway....obviously a lot of time has passed) I need to practice to get to the next level of building like you. My 80 looks good in a picture (it's not bad actually) but I gotta hone my skills to get a bike that looks brand new like yours do. Not sure what the trick is....well, I guess buy everything new. My 80 was the best bike I personally have ever done. I was glad to have made top 32 and just barely missed the top 15! All the bikes ahead of me had what you have, just a fit and finish that I don't have. I'll try again next year and maybe I can get some tips off people like you to get to that top 15🤘

Here's the link for the top 32 part. Your stuff would make the top 32 for sure and most likely top 15. Your builds are awesome man!
