    Just picked up this nugget!

    Just found this locally for $300 OBO. Walked away with it for $275. Fully suspended 1981 ATC 185S. Looks to be a rear suspension kit. Not sure on the forks, anyone know? Rear shock is a dual spring Fox unit with a rezzie. Engine appears to me tweaked a little bit. Has killer compressions and runs very strong! Anyone know if I can get the front forks re-built?? How about the rear shock?

    Got really lucky. I had a feeling it was someone with no idea what they had and sure enough, it was some kid that bought it from the original owner and had no clue. I asked him "do these normally have shocks"?? and he just shrugged. This will go into the collection, and make a few Glamis trips!

    The tripples look like the ones I have. No clue on who made them or if they are homemade. These came from cali as well.
