Hey everyone I got a 83 Big Red 200E, and the frame is all rusted out, cracked in multiple places, and in some spots, totally non-existant. Theres an ATV junkyard a ways out, that say they have a frame for 200$. Its just been sitting outside, ive never seen it, and I dont know if it has rust, cracks, etc, but even if it was nice, i think 200$ for a used frame is a little steep. (especially since I only paid 100$ for the whole running/driving machine) I dont think it comes with any extra parts, unless the mechanic is too lazy to strip whats left of it down.
Anyway, a little closer to home theres this other guy, he's got a 200X frame, and i know he'd give it to me for like 50$. (If that) It looks nice, no cracks/rust, and looks like it was powder coated red a few years ago. My question is can I use this frame and switch all my big red parts onto it? I would like to because it is better condition, cheaper, and it would have suspension :w00t: . Im not sure what kind of problems I would run into, i think everything would fit? If not is there a site that sells aftermarket ones, or is there another kind of frame I can use? Thx
