i've wanted gold rims for the longest time (they just look sooo right on an 80's suzuki!), but havent been able to find a decent set for a remotely reasonable price.

just finished swappin my top end on to the new 230's bottom, and finally have some time to post some pics.

im beginning to think this quad is a real freak of nature haha. just look at this:

only $200
PERFECT SIDECOVER with not a scratch on it!
TIGHT a-arm bearings
TIGHT swing arm bearings
TIGHT ball joints and tie rod ends
barely any lower steering shaft bushing play
the frame is still mostly shiny oem powdercoat!

good find? i think so lol

the exhaust is just a regular DG rcm pipe with some crappy stock yamaha end cap welded on to the end because the previous owner's neighbors were complaining about the noise. i'm gonna cut it off soon.

and i have no idea what the padlock was there for, but i cut it off yesterday lol.

and thanks dude its really helpin me out with parts that ive been needing... ive already gotten my money out of it haha.
