All righty.....

I am just starting the restoration of my 1982 185s and have some questions. I'm going to stay mainly stock except for some aftermarket exhaust and a K&N air filter. I'm going with a military theme on the trike...frame and fork are being powder coated Olive Drab as we speak, all the chrome/stainless pieces will be powder coated flat black and finally, all the plastic will have an old-school cammo paint job. Engine will maintain the factory metal grey.

Here's where my questions begin: 1) what are everyone's thoughts on the DG exhaust and 2) does anyone have a lead on where to find stock size steel wheels with a ZERO offset? Everything I see is 3+5 or 3.5+5 and polished.

Oh yeah..here are my new tires.174615

Can't go wrong with the DG exhaust in my opinion, i have one on my 200ES and on my AT90, i love em. A little louder than stock but a very good exhaust system. Nice looking tires and can't wait to see the pics of the final product!

Not sure on the wheels, but im sure someone here will know.

Love the 82 185s - bought one new when I was 12 or 13.
