1980 CR250R frame with either a 1981 CR450R or 1982/1983 CR480R motor. 1979 CR250R aluminum tank. 43mm Showa forks and triple clamps. Picky, but the route of choice is to replace the stock steel swing arm with a 1981 CR450R modified for twin shocks.
Nice though, huh?

Nice bike man. Do you own it? That looks like it should be in a Museum!

Not mine - I only have an old 250. It comes from
http://www.alp-sys.com/honda-elsinore/ which is dedicated to restoring old Elsinores. Anything from the early-mid 1980s is welcomed so you older 480/500 owners should drop by.
