I have two Big Red 250es's (about to sell one and get a 250sx) and I am just curious what you guys have in your ATC trunks or if you have rack bags like my Big Red does, what you carry in them for the riding you do. Just seeing if anyone out there has anything essential that I may not have thought about yet or a unique type of organizer besides the stock trunk or aftermarket rack bag.

Spark plug puller, spark plugs, water, flashlight, matches, knife, sometimes bullets/shells, rope thatwould work for pull start, screw driver, flat head, sometimes carb cleaner, tire plugs, .50 cal Gatlin gun, Semtex grenades that's pretty much it

I carry a litre of oil, a spark plug wrench, a tow strap and a small wire brush in my 84 200es. Haven't used any of it so far but I had a bad experience a few years ago on a different 200es, and it helps me sleep better at night.

Rinsed and clean for carrying food and drinks for farm work.
Drains nice with ice too, so portable cooler.
KEEP the es nd just get another sx.
sx trunk is hard pressed to hold 3 cans of soup but big red can hold
10 or 12 .

Out on the trail.?
sparklers altho they never ever foul plugs.
snake charmer, surgical kit, cartridge air pump or fix a flat
and anything else the spirit guides tell us.

Not sure I can justify two ES and an SX. Would rather have one of each I think. I carry patches and stuff but the fix a flat is a good idea. Have no source of air or anything at this point.

Justify to whom?
My GF gives me grief all the time but always gets the best of the herd.
They are $$ in the bank if you have room to keep them.
(just razzin ya)
I just see too many times that most are sad they sold and regret it for years.

an sx with racks is a real dream machine so I'll have to agree with you.
Also 2 sx's will fit in my f150 where 1 es takes up the whole bed.
The sx will also go thru a standard fence gate being narrower and all.
Whatever you do, never sell an sx with racks.

ps - I have a bike tire inflator that is powered by a co2 cylinder as fix a flat creates a gooey mess and is said to not be permanent but to get out of a jam, would be worth not walking home.
also, 12 volt compressors can be had for under 10 bucks.
May not last long but once may be all we need.

Yes I know I will regret selling one of the Big Reds one day but the space and money are limited and I figure if I have an ES and SX I have the best of both worlds rather than 2 ES. I am keeping the plow and nerf bars for mine obviously. The SX I am going to get this weekend is an 86 and I don't think it has racks but I also have not seen the pics yet. Going off of the guys description but sounds like a real nice one.

I haven't seen a tire inflator powered by CO2 but i am deft going to look right now.

I got a hit from a surveyor that had 2 sx's for 1,000$
they turned out to be nice s models.
Hope you get it.
Run it thru the gears, check reverse and
bring a 17mm to check rear gear oil for milkshake

Actually getting a 200S from the guy too. Hope it turns out well. I'll be sure to post pics once I get them.
