Liar!!! You pet yours way too much. Notice the paint left on the clutch side case, there's no way that's yours, it would be bare and shiney.

Thanks guys! My truck is basically my wife; 99 XL Super-Duty with a 12V Cummins and S5-47 dump truck close ratio 5-speed. Sorry for the delay on responding, things have been a little hectic.
So here's the scoop:
The R is an 87, and the previous owner was sick of dumping money into it. It's been in and out of his local Honda tech. for a year, so it's had a lot of work done to it; new balancer shaft / bearing, new piston / rings (Wiseco), bored .020", the carb was rebuilt and honed? Apparently there was an aircleaner issue and dirt had scuffed up the carb slide bore and cylinder bore, hence the repairs. Has an ESR pipe on it and Pro-Circuit silencer. The guy I got it from knew virtually nothing about it, his dealer did the work on it he basically got it the way you see it. So I have no clue if it's ported or anything. It has what appears to be a Lonestar ant-vibe stem in it, and 909 bars. Works triple rate front shocks, no resi's though. The frame is all stock, and it's also sparkly purple... I threw up in my mouth a little when I saw that, so I intend to change it. The bad and the ugly; the clutch is absolutely hammered... it will barely move under its own power. I've never seen a clutch this bad, so I'll be splitting the case soon to see what's up. The kicker gear is whooped, ankle pain will ensue. The coolant reservoir is missing for some reason. All the bearings are pretty shot, also (spindle and carrier). I'm not sure what the plan is at this point, it's not quite exactly what I was looking for but I got a great deal on it. So I will likely strip it down to the frame over the winter, gusset the frame and paint it or coat it, fix all the little quirks that it needs, then slam it back together and run it next summer, possibly sell it for a profit to try to move towards a more race-ready machine.
Do the A-arms and swing-arm look stock to you guys?

A-arms & swing arm are stock, axle looks oem also. The rear shock looks like it came from an 88-89 unless previous owner just changed to a red spring. It looks like a good score regardless.

Interesting thanks. It'll look better when the frame is red again!
