I didn't think they looked very powerful but you're right they do look good. Now you just need a new seat cover. Mine just came and I put it on tonight. I'll post a pic of it in a bit. hccamo.com very fine quality cover for a VERY reasonable price. So reasonable that I'm gonna order one for the honda.

Ok there's a pic in the quadsport album on my page. I got a black orange one but they have MANY more color options. Search for lt230 seat cover or something like that on ebay. Once you order you can send them a message with your color preference. Shipping was not the fastest but I think they make them as the orders come in.

ill have to look into that. those look nice. if i could find a blue and black one, thatd be great. i still need to buy a good bolt for my nerf bars and then ill get them on. i had mounting issues with the pipe and the prm grab. the grab was too wide so im either going to have to mount it lower or stay with the stock bar. i havent decided yet. i may go with stock since its longer i wont have to worry about loosing it with a wheelie as bad.

well here continues my story of sorrow and woe with my lt230ge....after i tore the clutch apart and found out what was wrong i got the parts in and installed. went to fire it up....now im getting no fuel.i cleaned out the petcock and all lines to make sure there was no blockage, still nothing. so then i tore apart the fuel pump and cleaned it out and made sure nothing was seized up. still nothing. then i took the carb intake boot apart and replaced the seals, still nothing. is it more than likely a fuel pump issue? cause i notice through the clear fuel filter that while cranking fuel is getting into the fuel filter but not making it into the carb, its just kinda sloshing back and forth in the filter. would that be a pump problem or a vaccum leak somewhere in the whole system? im trying to get this thing running for the next big ride next weekend! andy suggestions is greatly appreciated.

I bought mine from their ebay store and the listing was for a black and blue cover. If I hadn't sent them a message that's what I would have gotten.

Hey guys just got bad news from the engine re-builder. Apparently the previous owners broke the crankcase cover and tried to fix it themselves. They took all of the bolts off of the outside and then pryed it off with a screwdriver, not accounting for the hidden bolt on the inside. This, of course, just made the problem worse. They then tried to cover up their mistake and put an ungodly amount of JB weld in it. Now, to fix my ongoing problem with an oil leak, i am more than likely going to have to get a new crankcase cover. From reading earlier posts, i found an electric start made by a company called Goki. What does this replace? I think it replaces the crankcase cover, doesn't it?

Sure does and I think that goki cover is a heck of a lot thicker than the stock ones!

@jory

I don't know about you but 350 for a quad that doesn't run? I'd offer less in hopes that all it is is a carb issue...just my .02
