S,
It was pretty common for mx guys to mod the bikes back then, so just because it was hacked doesn't mean it's not sound. modified longer travel did put more stress on the front end and forks. I remember seeing bikes starting to break up front after severs rear end mods. Oh, the good old days! But this cr is definetly not original.
I thought it was a CR by the footpeg and brake lever, the CR front hub is full width, has no provision for the speedo drive. Not MR issue.
it's also ard to tell wat's going on in there as far as an airbox. Itt may now have a clamp-on filter without a box. Ok in some dry climates, useless back here in the northeast.
If it runs and is something you can pick up, the price is attractive, as most parts will fit the MR. Be patient, MR, CR bikes and parts are always popping up on the site.
And a BIG THANKS for the air tool lesson! That's exactly the kind of info i needed to know before firing away!
