I've got some paper towels laying underneath it right now to see if I can catch any drips. Hopefully I won't though!

After I JB Welded my case on the 230, that never leaked again. Pretty impressive junk that JB.

Fresh oil in it, that's nice. Its weird, its a dry sump motor so the oil tank is in front of the motor, underneath the radiator.

Oh, and I got the video to work on the last page.

I like the idea of hand guards. Can you get them for 230's?

Yeah, absolutely. Go to the gallery in the vault, then under individual lt230s's, look at mine. I had handguards on my 230. There are tons of styles and most are universal fit. Just have a move some of your controls around. I've had two sets of the Powermadd Trail Star systems and I like them a lot. Plus they're cheap, 23 for the guards, and 23 for the brackets. I got mine from Dennis Kirk.

Does anybody have the part number for the bikebandit case saver? I can't find it anywhere. And apparently Vince's Cycle doesn't carry them anymore. (It was a few months ago that I checked, so please tell me if I am wrong.) Where can I get one?

Boy I sure missed a lot! How come when I take off, the party starts?

When my buddy first got his 250S, it came with handguards. That was the first things he took off and threw in the trash. I guess not everybody likes them.

I just bought a set for $54 shipped, and the guy is in state! They may not look the coolest, but the last few times I have ridden, I've cut my hands/wrists up on branches and ****. I'd rather be safe than worry about looking goofy.

Occassionally I'll get snagged on a blackberry bush hanging out in the trail, but I get hit in the face, chest, arm, and everywhere else about as much as I do my hands.

You know what blackberry bushes look like right? A stick with fish hooks attached to it! I've had em rip holes in my shirt trying to get away from it. Either that or rip the bush out of the ground with it still hanging on my back! Those things are vicious, lol. But the fruit makes good pie and jam!

Lol, you're hilarious! My cousin rolled his ATC 110 into a whole bush of thorns. He got a concussion and everything. Some of the thorns were like 2" long! The funniest thing of all is he had his senior pictures for school the next day! His arms were solid cuts!
