Default Starting business/what would you want?

I am looking to start a business of refurbishing quad parts. Essentially I would have a website with different quad parts, like exhausts. I would have them professionally painted and looking nice! My question is, what parts would you like to see on the site? A-arms? Shocks? Exhaust? Also what quads would you like to see up there too? Give me opinions and comments please!

Default Looking for a Rear Axle for a 1983 ATC200E Honda

I'm looking for an axle for my Big Red 3 wheeler. Found a couple for over $200 but reluctant to put that much into it. It has been a good ride over the years and I would like to get the bent rear axle replaced. You wouldn't happen to know of any place I could pick one up under $200 would you?

If I stumble across one I will let you know! Those are old quads though, not a lot of parts still around for them. If you have a salvage yard near you then you should check it out!

Anybody else have opinions too?

What about electrical parts? Say, rebuilt stators.

Good idea! I just have to figure out how to do that. I was more looking to restore metal frame parts. Stuff that I can paint, but stator's are popular parts, I just don't do electrical stuff very well. I have shocked myself on a spark plug a couple times! Thank you for the input though!

Also a good idea! You can always find bald tires, the only problem is only a few tires can be re-treaded. It has to have enough meat on the tire. I will see what I can do! Thanks for the idea, its helping me broaden my area of sales!

Swing arms and axles would be good too.
