So it's been hit or miss for my posting lately as I have been going full throttle on my atv repair shop. I did however happen to catch a awesome deal on a 1986 200x.

those are from the day I picked it up for 200$. I have since been rebuilding it to ride-able condition. I built a new grab bar did some plastic welding on the rear fenders cut a seat and used what vinyl I had left for a seat cover, and put a new chain and shift lever on it. I am still looking for tank scoops and am analyzing a headlight and tail light setup to use. I went to look at it with the expectation of walking away as I was sure it was going to be nothing but a parts machine, but when I got there all the bearings were nice and tight, and the motor is in tip top condition. With a little electralasis to the tank I was able to remove all of the residual fuel and slight rusting that was in there. I am planning on using the plastics it has as I intend to ride the snot out of it, and don't want to fear breaking them.
