High guys, I am new here and just bought an 82 CR480.
I'm on a quest to restore it and I need some info someone here may have.
I'm wanting to know if the tanks and seats from 82, 83 or even 84 are interchangeable? Thanks

Not sure on the seat but the tank is different.

seats and tank are different, and a lot of other parts too.

83 seat fits the 82, nice upgrade if you race it.

The air cooled cr480's are really nice bikes, one of my favorite big bores. Does the bike run well? Show us some pics!

It runs really well but I'm gonna go through it good before I take it out.
It needs plastic and a seat.
I bought an '83 seat base with foam and a chain slider from a guy in Fla.
The 83 seat will not work without the 83 tank, so I have a seat base and foam for anyone with an 83.
I found a missing weldment that supports the rear fender. Also, for some reason someone added a mount for the shock resevoir and it's broken. I'm gonna get some rubber bumpers and make it stock. I'm making a list of parts needed now. One of them is the rubber strap at the back of the fuel tank.
