ok guys, im looking at an 86 qsport. nice shape, runs, good. absolutely no smoke and fires right up with the first few kicks. i have been wanting to get one of these for quite some time, and the opportunity has arrived. my questions are...
1. what's their weak points?
2. how availible are parts, both oem and after market?
i plan on stripping it down and restoing it, and wanted to go a bit better then stock on it. like the suspension. i was wondering if there is possibly any longer a-arms avavilible, plus a nice front shock set-up. perhaps go with a longer swingarm, which more then likely i know i would have to have either the stocker modded or have one custom fabbed. which if i did i would go with a newer style carrier so i could have a few choices on extended axles. do any of the older quad racer suspension parts work on the quad sport?
what about motor parts? being is i dont have myself a nice 4 stroke, i plan on doing the motor up nice. cam, valves, borejob, piston, what kind of carb, what kind of exhaust if any are availible.
throw me some ideas here please, and if anybody has modded their q-sport, post up some pics for me please.
i planned on slamming it to the ground and doing it up for flattrack, but i wanna be able to do some mx with it too though, so i am kinda undecided. i know one thing though, it will look like no other q-sport when done.
pics pics pics please.
