Your making me miss me 86 200x. Its down in Missouri. I won't get to throw a leg over it till next summer. But any way can't wait to see more and nice score on the tank. That's a hard one to find.

I'm completely new to the 86 200x and have been surprised by the prices of parts and availability for sure..and have ran into some pitfalls for my lack of research but it will be worth it in the end heh
