just picked up an 87 230 for $50... needs output shaft seal and new rear sprocket.
i just happen to have both

 

do you guys know the bolt pattern of our quads, I tried to make a template off my old wheels. but that didnt work, so i'm gonna do an exact template in CAD

 

I've got 18 inch kendas on nine inch wheels, I've only high centered it once but it was a log,other than that no probs.
I think I'm gonna look for 22's though.

 

I found the bolt pattern through one of my old Dennis Kirk catalogs...its 4 on 130mm if anyone was wondering. I'll have the wheels on tomorrow if its not crappy out

 

bolt pattern should be here somewhere: http://www.mud-throwers.com/atv_wheel_chart

After I put 20s on, I had so few ground clearance issues I kinda wished I had 18s. But now that my swingarm is longer, I'm happy with 20s I guess. 22s are just way too big for me. Too heavy too.

Pretty sure it is the same bolt pattern, 18's would put her damn near "rotor to the ground" though?</end quote></div>





I've got skid plates[img][/img]</end quote></div>


I had to make skid plates. For a long time I rode without them. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] If I saw a big rock, I'd steer it to the brake side since I didn't have a rotor. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] How I kept from smacking my sprocket is a miracle. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

My setup has about a fist clearance with my homemade skid plate and those kenda 20's. I don't know... What is that? 4 inches or so? Anyway, I smack every root n pebble all down the trail. It turns out to be a non-issue as long as I never stop. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Come on Randal, I have a a job!!!
Kinda..............

 

I made my template in CAD before, this one better work, I dont have much more room on these rims to keep drilling [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

And damn these suckers are LIGHT they weigh half as much as teh 22s that were on it, although these are only 2 ply tires....
