    My newly acquired 1986! *Front rack installed

    Okay so the story goes like this. The guy I got this from bought two pristine 86' Big Red's off the original owner who barely used them. First time out with them he lets his buddy take one who ends up taking it right into a tree. This is the one I got. It ended up with a broken front fender, a destroyed front rack and dents on the front of the tank. Besides this there was no other damage. I had the fender plastic welded which turned out great and the dents on the tank you would only notice if you were looking for them as they are somehow perfectly uniformed on each side. The best part is I traded him straight up for a go kart i had. So if anybody has or knows of a good deal on a decent front rack that is all I really need to have her looking perfect again! Thanks guys here are some pics and the go kart I traded him.

    The go kart was a Yerf-Dog GX150 with a 7.8hp Howhit engine. It was cool but I couldn't be happier with the trade!

    Nice trade! Here's a front rack on eBay for a decent price...

    http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1986-Honda-Bi...ht_2002wt_1170

    The other ones up for auction are 150 bucks...which seems a little steep for a front rack.

    I'll be keeping my eye on that one. A little mangled but for the price may be worth straightening.

    He still has the other one?

    I wonder what it would take to get the other one from him.

    Luckily the forks weren't bent a bit. The steering stop was moved but was easily bent back.

    That's good! Sorry thought they were, Are you having the tank repainted ? Should be no problem finding a good rack and have it powder coated. From time to time I have seen NOS front racks on eBaY.
