Yeah I know Im not a Honda purest with the camo but this atc is strictly for hunting. Traded a gun for her and fixed the headlight and installed a taillight, covered seat, installed gas tank grommets, replaced destroyed right rear fender, fixed recoil start etc.

This weekend will be its first trip to the hunting club. Hope to have pics later. Not much mud and the terrain is pretty flat but I just love these old Hondas. Grew up on them and have many fond memories except for being a passenger and getting my legs pulled under the rear tires. lol

Warner Robbins has some dang good Little League teams don't they? Sorry, I'm a baseball coach. The bike is nice. What kind of gun did you trade for it if you
don't mind me asking?

Little League has become king around here the past few years with several trips to Williamsburg and some World Series wins. I traded a Norinco SKS 7.62x39 even for it. She runs great just needed a litttle TLC.

Heres my 83 200es Camo job!
It works great for hunting and can get through some thick stuff that most 4 wheelers cant.
Added new kenda bear claws to the rear and some extra driving lights that i will post picks of soon.

Very nice. i want to keep the back rack on mine stock for hauling deer but im trying to come up with some ideas to modify the front rack to carry more without blocking the headlight. Any suggestions?

Well i added a 4 wheeler rack on top of the stock rear rack. It was gunna get thrown away so i addapted it to the rear. Well im not sure about the front rack. I never was interested in adding a box to it. But i guess if you add a box to the front and one that just reaches the bottom of light then you could always add some aftermarket off road lights. Bolt them on the box so they are upfront ya know...

I was thinking about possible bolting on some old metal ammo boxes on front to store straps etc. Gonna do a search here and on google images and see what others have done.

Well the first trip out went well. No deer but thats how it goes sometimes. Everything was going well that is until one of my hunting buddys pointed out that my rr wheel had a really bad wobble. At some point in the past 27 years the hub had stripped out and instead of replacing it they just welded it into place. Well the welds finally snapped and therefore the wobble. Had to beat the old hub off with a mallet and remove what was left of the weld with a grinder. Cleaned the splines, ordered a slightly used hub and installed. Finally back in business. Maybe this weekend I will get a pic of a deer on the back of her.

Well decided against the camo and changed her back to Red. Finally got a chance to drag a doe out of the woods with her.

I'm sure you could do some kind of panniers off the front rack?
An ammo/kit box/bag on one side and a gun rack on the other, leaves the rear rack for for the kill then.

Have to say, I loved the camo job!!!
