I have no idea where to put this.
I found this bike on ebay tonight and thinking "damn this thing looks good"
Clean, replaced the stock tank with a YZ250. I totally forgot that Yammi brought the 490 out of retirement for a year (or two, cant remember)

Makes me want to rebuild my old 81 465 that I left back home at the parents house.
Brings back memories,
-went like hell
-brakes were shit
-cold siezed that prick 3-4 times trying to ice-race that thing
-I loved the big bore, air cooled, sound

I have a 92 wr500. Love it! I would love to do that tank swap! Think that it is a 90 YZ250 tank? And the pipe? I see that it has the wr inlet welded on to it. But what is the rest? Stock something. I see big seams on it. like the stock CR pipes.
