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

good luck with your build, I'll be watching, want to see this thing turn out like a museum piece, then go out and get it dirty!

I built this skid plate for a friend a couple years ago he sold his 480 and gave it back so I was fitting it on to mu 480 I going to change the rear skid plate mounting.

I reinstalled the Rear linkage and shock so I have a roller once again.

I was getting ready to install the center case bearings but this stopped me in my tracks a crack but it can be fixed.

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

I also made a new end cap for my silencer it was missing when I got the bike.
