86 240 wr. Almost finished.

Nice! Looks Great! Who makes the pipe protector? Where did you get the VINDURO swing arm stickers?

Nice Andy.
Where did you find the sump guard ?

And I love it with the stickers! I assume it is a rider, not a trailer queen?

Nice bike, I think I am going to need a vintage bike

Very nice. I've never seen or heard of a 240 wr before. Was this bike not available in the States?

Hi thanks for the comments. Just a shop bought pipe guard. It was a old red alum one my brother had and did'nt like so i did the oven cleaner trick and stipped it back clean and is held on with 4 hose clamps. Vinduro sticker were made by a sign writer. Had enduro ones aswell but the vinduro suited the bike better.

Hi Mike , Just another E-bay purchase , guy had it on a 400 xc , it's made of plastic about 2mm thick looks ok and might stop a few bumps and bruises. Could be acerbis not to sure.

Hi Adam 6402, It will be a rider but not to much, just finished her off after about 12 mths of finding all the parts . It is made up from about 15-20 different bikes from all over the world mainly USA , lots of nos and a little reproduction stuff. Fired her up last night , took 20-25 kicks but she finally came to life, just needs a little fine tuning .

Hi Troffer 88, Thanks, it's my first left kicker and first resto also but i am really happy with the finished product . Looking forward to my first ride.

Hi Daniel, Thanks for the comments, 240's were pretty common in Australia i think we received European spec bikes.

Is the engine a 240cc? Is the WR the only 240 model? CR240? Its very nice and would be very rare in my part of the world.

Nice , I want to do a evolution type project

Hi Daniel, yes is was a 240 wr but the original bore was seized and part of the sleeve had broken out between the exhaust ports and caused major damage so i had to find another and a 250wrx 85 barrel and piston was available still on original ring.Big end bearing was also shoot so i found a crank and rod that had had the bearing already replaced .Not to sure about the cr's.

HI Mike, Nice pair of Aces, i see you have the 400 up and running how does it compare against the 240. How was the vibration thing going, did you get anything sorted out or is it still shaking out your fillings .

Hi Troffer, Yes even after just finishing this one of i would like to get hold of a 83 175 wr/xc , great looking bike and tru evo .

Hi Motosportz, Can't wait to go for a ride on her , have her running but just needs a little fine tuning. Like the later model front end .
