    So it's taken a few years to put this together, and a few changes/upgrades were made along the way. It has an new NOS '86 "banned" ATC motor with a swapped out Selvy cylinder.

    Swapped out the -1" Westcoast arm for a -1" CAL FAB, and then the 903 (bar tread) H-Tacks for a pair of rare hand carved (banned) Team only rears (10" wheel)
    Front tires were only offered to the public on a who's who, gotta know a guy basis. They are shorter 20's, unlike the stock 21's
    Then also had new nets reproduced for an old set of CAL FAB nerf bars.

    ^^^^thanks yaegerb and oldskool83^^^^


    Future plans might include Baja dress/set up.
    I've sourced an old team HRC baja light and NOS Mark Weixeldorfer "WAX ON" seat. The headlight was used by Team Honda ATC in the Baja as a "quick tach" night set up. Later it was converted to a TRX mount for Team Honda TRX efforts. The knobs up top allow the rider to adjust beam angle on the fly.

    Here's a little off topic show & tell........ Scored Steve Wright's old carburetor parts box (Big Red front Hondaline box), even still has old TWA airline cargo ID tags.
    And a sand cast aluminum/magnesium/alloy (??) skid plate. It's a stout piece with no welds or gusseting, just a single cast. It's seen some war and a lick or twenty. Not 100% sure who made these, but it's only the 2nd one I've ever seen. The other is in a BIG timer's collection.... Anyone else ever seen one, if so please fill me in. Still more stuff out there...... The hunt's half thethe fun!

    Thanks, I appreciate all the kind words guys.

    Yes, Rob has seen most of my projects. He personally rebuilt my current ATC 200R project's engine a couple years back (seen in sig pic below). I also just recently sent him several shocks for rebuild. Rob's been a real inspiration and help with my bikes.
