I purchased my 86 200 brand new for $1800 when I was 15. I have litteraly ridden the crap out of it. Like you, I have no fenders left, wheels bent to crap, steering arms have been re-straightened several times and so on. Since I went into the military at 18, This machine has been abused from the mountains of North Carolina to the extreme negative temperatures of Alaska, to the ocean salt of Guam and the swamps of southern Georgia. Worst of all, I would testify that I have only changed the oil in this machine 4 or 5 times; it just keeps on going! Unfortunately I have bought a few other machines in my time...none of them has even come close to performing like this one. Go honda!

 

here is mine back when my 01 rubicon was new in early 2002. no changes, and maybe 3 more miles on it

If your still in need of plastic look on ebay. Thats were I have found all of the parts to rebuild mine. Which I'm currently in the process of finishing up. And yes these are tough buggers that don't give up easily. Can't wait to get this 21 yr old beast back on the trails.

And a tip for any one wanting to replace the rear shock. Mine has been shot for many rears of jumping. One off a newer 250ex fits perfectly. Only if I could find a better replacement for the fronts.
