ID:	150841I got this for free from some guy who wanted it out of his yard. Its a 1982 honda 185. The motor is not stuck and the machine is just about complete except for the rear fenders. I opened the gas tank and too my surprise there was no rust!!! Someone had welded some brackets on the back and used door mats as rear fenders!! Looks like she has seen better days but I cant wait to tear her down and inspect..

    My "new" 83 185 is about the same. Needs carb, tires plugged. Needs an air box. Anyone have one? Just to get it starting.

    Mines got the carb, not sure if its missing other stuff. The front tire popped taking it out of the truck. I'll be looking a bit more closely when this maine heatwave cools down some!!

    The front fender i can sand down and looks alright. Whats wrong with the forks? They look straight to me and just need some paint..
