QuadSportFreak, yeah, i got the alum. RCM system, the little bit of instruction on mounting said to grease the silencer and didn't mention a clamp. i see what you mean by the thickness of the aluminum and lack of a relief cut to squeeze it much. doesn't seem right to not use a clamp (especially now that i bought a nice little band clamp at a shop and pulled it out of the package already. DOH!)
i haven't had a chance to fit it up yet.

well, i thought i was gonna have the beast running today but i went to bolt up the exhaust and discovered a crack in the headpipe. glad i saw that before i had it running.
called Dennis Kirk and they gonna cross-ship a new pipe.
i've been working on this thing for nearly 2 yrs so i guess one more week isn't gonna kill me.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

that sucks it always seems just as you are done you run in to some kind of snafoo, get some pictures up when this thing is done, i noticed that you extended the swing arm, there is a guy on ebay, who does a-arm extensions, and they look really good, and give the bike a nice wide racy stance, for about 90$

hopr to have new pics posted next weekend. i fabbed a small headlite into the nosepiece and i'm pretty happy the way it turned out.
the ext. swingarm i got was made by Westcoast back in prolly '85 or '86. it was brand spanking new when i bought it. Westcoast stopped making atv aftermarket parts around '90 i think. they're still in business but they just make stuff for pwc's now

My 230 I've had for only a month. The previous owner messed things up more than fixed them. Now I'm going through it section at a time. The engine is good except valves need tunning. Electrical is garbage, patched up mess. Front end is good except worn bushing at bottom of stearing shaft. I plan to ride and restore which makes it more difficult than just stripping it down to the frame and making it like new. If I keep up with it I should have a nice looking and running quad by the end of summer.
Hey AtomicPunk: Did the 250S rear shock bolt right in on yours? My 85 has a blown rear shock. I have one on the way that is suppose to be good but I'd like to watch for other model shocks if they are available as well.
