1973 Honda XR

Clear

Used 1973 HONDA XR-73 KO Barn find. It Does Have the usual bumps and bruises for a 42 year old XR, but it starts, shifts, brakes,idles, and runs like a HONDA. This find was sitting for a long long time, so I started off 1st by looking in the air filter box to make sure there were no critters making house there. I changed the oil and the old oil was not that bad. I replaced the old dried out fuel petcock with a brand new NOS HONDA part, replaced the fuel lines and replaced the carb with a new one because the old one was all gummed up. Included if you want it. It fired right up and ran like a champ, no leaks, no smoke, sounds good. A couple of very small dents it the Original paint and decal tank, NO Rust in the tank, CLEAN AS A WHISTLE INSIDE, a puncture holes in the non-original seat, plenty of patina and rust.The kill switch works too. The dented original exhaust has some repair welds in it but is fully functional. Tires are worn but hold air fine. Starts 1st or 2nd kick, runs great. The Good: New Fuel lineNew NOS Honda Fuel Petcock Valve New Aftermarket Carburetor The Bad: It's shows its age and rust Missing 3 Number Plates It need a new little friend to ride with, who's next?
