85 atc 250sx/250es rear brake drum seal(discontinued) any ideas????

[AtcFactoryRacer]

Honda finally ran out of stock of the 85 atc250sx/es rear brake drum seal. I ordered one last year and they were still availible... This year not so much... Quadboss makes one listed for the 85-87 atc250sx/es and i ordered it too but it is the small seal for the 86-87 models and will not fit the 85. Anyone have any ideas on where i can get a seal for my 85?

Does anyone have a NOS seal for sale? Im talking about the large seal that the external brake drum rotates on. As many of us that have 1985 units we are gonna be hurting because no one makes an aftermarket seal and they always fail and gum up your back brakes

Honestly, IDT even a new seal will last long in water and mud.

It's a horrible design. The same guy made the 83-85 200X kicker inside the center cases :lol:

I'd look for a used one as an NOS one may be pretty pricey.

I'd also pull the drum and or drain plug after every wet ride on that model.

Or, wait for an 86/87 rear end and swap it all. I've done it, others have and there are turds out there with that much better rear end setup........
