Ok, I have more pictures, but these are all I have on my computer.

its not in too bad of condition. And I do have the side panels for it, there just not on it.

All I need to do to it is, rebuild the carb, buy a new metal gas tank, a new seat, straiten up the back rack, repaint all the racks and it will be as good as new.

tell me what you think of it.

Looks great to me. Why are you looking to buy another metal tank? You can red-kote it (seal it) and have it painted if you like and it's good as new. Is the seat cover ripped? I can't see it if it is.

And, the side covers are sometimes hard to find, keep an eye on ebay. The right ones go for more $ than the left ones do.

Might want to rethink the gas tank thing. The last three that I have seen go on Ebay went for right under $300.00.:crazy:

That sucker doesnt look bad at all. Just trash those worthless rear tires and you have yourself a killer rig.

Nice ride. Like the other guys said, your tank looks better than most tanks that sell on Ebay. I just finished coating the tank on my father's 85 BigRed with a KBS coatings kit I got on Ebay. Stuff works great! Trail Pros don't get much respect on here. LOL Good luck!!

I actually love the tires on it. There amazing on the trails. And the tank is pretty rusted where the seat sits on it. And does anybody know where I can get the black plastic that goes on the side of the fenders?

I'm actually interested why youthink my back tires suck. I love other peoples opinions, Ill take recomendations on better ones.
