This is my 1984 ATC200ES. It is mostly done now. Still need a few brake cables, but other than that it is done. It features heated hand grips, and custom paint. It was a fun restoration. The worst thing about it was rebuilding the rear end. All new Honda seals and bearings (I had more into seals and bearings than the whole purchase price of the bike). Also - the wiring on this bike was a mess. The previous owner had brake lights, turn signals - and a bunch of other lights. Eventually many of the wires must have shorted out because many of them were melted together. What a mess!

I plan on adding a custom hitch for a tow strap. This bike will be my trail bike from now on. I will really enjoy the Electric start and reverse for the tight trails here in Western PA and Eastern OH.

Enjoy the pics.

Considering what they looked like in the bed of the truck when you and Tim brought them home, It looks great. It is so nice to see one that was in that bad of condition, up and running again, with alot of good years to go. Great Job!!!

Nice job on your Red.........It looks great. My cousin had one. They're an awesome all around machine, till it gets real whoopy, LOL. They can do it all......from hunting and farm chores, to play-riding, and finding sticky mudholes...............Nice ride!!!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. My Dad has an 84 BR just like this, and I really wanted one ever since he got his. The tires are Buckshot Mudders. I think they are 22 inch, but I am not positive, they may be 25 inch (I would go check, but the temp. is negative 4 degrees F right now).
