Default Reserecting 86 lt230s

This bike is rough but I am going to bring it back to life since I only have about 100.00 in it. This is a thread showing the reserection of this quad.

I'm going to bore it out and put in a wiseco piston, new valves, cam and timing chain. Have to get some brake pads so I will upgrade there. Putting all new bearings in everything. Just can't find a steering bushing that goes on the bottom by the tie rods. Would like to eventually find a good shape used exhaust to put on it.

Thanks newport I thought they was from a warrior but wasnt for sure. Went out today for the first time since restoring. It did good but lost my back brakes. Havnt looked yet but most likely the master needs seals. Had a fun time out today in the woods riding for the first time in about 6 or so years.
