Default 85' Suzuki LT230s SUZUKI IGNITION?

I got a 85' LT230s and there is no key or Ignition to put the key in, But all the other wiring is there. What Ignition would work on this. Also I dont see anywhere on the plastics to put the key switch in at.

i dont think the 85' 230s had an ignition switch. if it did, it would've mounted on the steering stem on the handle bar clamps. i am prety sure they just had a kill switch on/off.

ok its confirmed. you can add a key switch to them but it needs to be done by an atv mechanic. but other words no an 85' 230s doesnt need a key switch.

its paint. i had it made by a friend. its supposed to be a type of offroad paint. it resists chipping and lasts pretty good. i think it costed me like $70 a quart.

all you can do for the mag cover is watch for an auction on ebay. but as a buy it now $149 is the cheapest you can find.
