Well, I'm back on the board. I've been off for about 2 years now. It kind of sucked - I was known as 83atc200tim - now I'm just atctim. Since I've been on last I am now the proud owner of (2) Big Reds - and 85 and an 86. The 86 is kind of beat up, but runs like it's new. I just put a set of ITP Mudlites on it and they are sweat as sugar. It's my main ride. My 83 ATC 200 is completely restored and sitting for a nice day (no mud) to ride. I spent too long cleaning it up to go out and hog it up. The 85 big red is a different story. I'm making it a one of a kind buggy. It is in pieces now, and slowly being restored. I just got new Maier rears for it. Here's the catch - I'm putting a 200x front end on it. I really like the long travel front forks - plus the triple tree was kind of screwed up on it (needed bearing and needed welded around the main steering shaft.) The frame and rear rack will be red - as well as the seat cover. the engine is already black - don't like it but will look good with red frame. So here's my question - does anyone know where I can get new plastic side panels and a trunk lid for it??? None on ebay ( for the past month) Maier doens't sell them???? Are they still available from Honda??? Any ideas will help. I am missing one, and the other has been painted, then what appears to be scrapped - leaving deep scratches - looks like Freddy Krugers face.
Any help will be helpful.
Also - anyone ever put a 200x front end on something else - Big Red or 200S???? I have one coming from ebay - I hope it fits. Same Diameter and length of steering shaft.
