    I have an 84 250 WR Swing Arm. I also have the 84 WR Forks and the Betor ITC Shocks I was thinking I would sell the whole package as a Lowering Kit for People who are intimidated by the High Seat Height of the CR's. The bike this stuff came off was a very low hour ( it still had the original rear tire) and everything should be in great shape. Tonight I took a closer look and things aren't as good as I hoped. The Fork Tubes are good but not perfect. There are some small divots in the Chrome still very useable but seals aren't going to last for ever. The Bushings inside should be near new But I have not been inside to look. The Swing Arm is just a low hour Swing Arm, I even have the Plastic Chain Guard. The Betor Shocks can best be described as Shot. There is no dampening at all, the seals are leaking and worst of all the Rods are rusted to the point of no choice but replacement. They could be used as cores for a ground up Shock build, I would be temped to send them to Race Tech and have them gutted and filled with there modern internals.

    The way I see it the Forks are worth $125, and the Arm $75 with the Chain Guard. I would throw the Shocks in for free. So $200 plus shipping. If nobody shows any interest in the package I will separate.

    If You haven't figured it out already I went the other direction, I turned a WR into a CR. I paid a lot more than this for the Cores to rebuild a working suspension.
