I am back with a 1983 CR480

Post by honda02 »

I picked up a project 1983 CR480.

First question will a Ignition system from a 1997 CR250 fit in to the 480 cases and work.

I know the Ignition on the right hand side so it will be spinning backwards.

Is there anyone make a Mid to Top end pipe for this bike.

And anyone knows where to get new Plastic for this bike that reasonable price just about everything I found so far is expensive.

Can I powder coat the engine cases and I not sure if I can powder coat the Cylinder and Head. :D

Everyone has a different view of what is reasonable so here is some options and you can decide :lol:

New plastic

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

At least I got the other half of the center case transmission stacked and loaded up.
