I have had an 84 and two 86's they are great trail / woods / enduro bikes, the newer water cooled are obviously a bit better but there was a time when the KDX's and the Husqvarna's ruled the woods... (I've got an extra motor if you need one...)

I have an 87 kdx 200 that's a basket case. At some point I'm going to rebuild it, but I have too many projects right now. Basically needs everything, including a motor. Huffie, I may be contacting you about that motor when the time comes.

I'll have to look and see what else I have but I know I have:
Motor, pipe, Tank, Swingarm, seat, wheels and forks

I liked the aircooled KDX bikes better , I'm a huge fan of the KLX 300 too.

Is Chesterfield outside of Richmond? I go up there on business every once in a while and may be able to check out the whole lot the next time I'm in town.

Nice. When you get a chance, PM and let me know what you're looking to get for the parts. No rush.
