I just picked up a 85 200x for 200 bucks, plastics, frame, acceroies are lookn awesome, the rear fender has a nice crack where it angles down to the footpegs. The motor needs a new crankshaft connecting rod, along with new rings gaskets etc. I wanted to have a black and white bike with frame black swingarm white, tank black with short, fat white flames (i know someone that paints and he said hell do it for free) but i need to find the plastics and seat cover that will look good. Cant u sand, primer, paint any color plastics? Or does anyone know a good place to buy?

I painted my rear plastic on my 200x with "fusion"spray paint for plastic and it looked great but every now and then I have to touch it up.All I did was just wash the plastic with some gas and then a very quick sand.

smokinp it says one of your x's has black plastic whered u get it. And i changed my mind about the tank, i want white vents and black tank (no stickers right now), smokin with the weisco piston, bore kit, and trailprotrailpro pipe how stout is trailprotrailpro motor
and do u have to run 108 octane with that piston
