I was wondering if you can put CR80 forks on an XR200, I know you can do it on a TTR125l, and if you can, do you have to get a new shock/swingarm assembly for the XR? Can you get new plastics for an XR in order to make it, er, less like an XR and more two stroke like? (Such as non-square side pannels, more aggressive style front fender, etc...) Thanks

Although i do admit there are some things you just cant get anymore, this must be a very recent one, as i did a complete rebuild on my XL500r last year.
Some parts the dealer did have in stock, but they had to order 90% of it.
(the 4-valve 500cc singles were pretty popular motors)
It probably has more to do with the dealer in question than with the parts themselves.
IE: most dealers would rather see you junk an old machine and spend $5,000+ buying a new one.
:(
The smart ones realize that not everyone can afford to put out that much moolah for new wheels and will take a little extra time trying to find older bike parts.
A parts sale (large or small) is better than NO sale.
Plus , when the cutomer IS ready to buy a new scoot, he is more likely to buy from the dealer who took the time to help him fix his old one.
