Ok Guys ,

I am building a 89 250r and need a gas tank that will go with this seat! I already have found all the plastic, stickers and have a really nice 1989 R to start with ..

I would like to know how many are left like this in the world?

I would put it back in the box and put it away..another five or so years it will be worth a ton!!

I have to totally disagree with anyone who said don't unwrap it. Collectors and people who just store stuff to try and sell it for X times money later bother me soo much. Whats the point in having something if you aren't going to use it. Just save it an let it rot away and never get used, it's a waste and a dishonor to the part, it was built/made to be on a 250R and deserves to be used, think of all the people that went without and use it for them.

Honda350R you have a sweet seat, I hope it sees a lot of action, don't let me down

Oh, it is getting used! This 89 that I am doing will be sick! It won't be totally stock because stock engines are well, SLOW!

It will have a bit of chrome but for the most part it will look like a very clean 89 250! !

I will do a follow up when I get it further along !

I'll have to totally disagree with you...

There are plenty of aftermarket seats available, no reason to use rare OEM if he doesn't want too. I guess anyone with a rare collector car, atv, etc should just go out and drive/ride it? I think not. JMO.
