What you got working on in the garage this long, cold, silly winter ? *After months of searching, I finally located a PeeDub worthy of restoration for my grandkids. $400 ! I don’t know about where you live, but any ancient PW50 commands, generally- twice that now, in any condition, whether it be an ‘83 or newer.... Brand new about $1800 if you can locate....

I had this as a project about 8 years ago and sold it to a friend. I recently bought it back for $1250. It is an ‘83 XR350. Mods include 2001 CR250 front end with oversized rotor, Polispiort headlight and 2004 CRF250 fenders in the proper orangish color, 2000 CR250 foot pegs, SuperTrapp slip on, and a few other things. It is amazing how good this 37 year old motorcycle is as a woods bike.

Does that feature the dual -range 8 speed transmission- or was the 185 that had that oddity ?

Just bought this, mainly a go through and make my own rather than a big project (hopefully!). Was looking at TC125’s but nostalgia got the better of me and ended up with another zook.

Generally I prefer the black rims, but I think that Zook needs the yellow-golden hoops, TJ......

That's a sweet bike. 350 is perfect for the trails. When I get some extra cash, I'll be looking for either a mid 80s XR, or later 80s YZ.

I originally bought this from this guy for $500.

I finished one project last week.

But I was already working on getting another one going for the last couple months. My wife and I have a pretty good agreement where she doesn't really care what I spend on motorcycles or other projects as long as the bills are paid.....if she only knew.

I bought a blown 85 xr600 motor that seems like it was maybe starved of oil, the cam broken half and there was some damage to the head so I got a new head. I have a frame and everything to get the motor running. Maybe one day in 18 years when my kid grows up I'll finish it.




I hope to end up with something like this
