We put the headlight out of a guys 68 ford truck on his 200x using a rag, some bungees, and a roll of duct tape. He was going to have to quit riding at night, bucause his light was competely gone. The only thing there was the pigtail with the plug. Its the same as a sealed beam headlight, so he got to ride at night all weekend. When it was time to go home, we put the light back in his truck.

well lets see, i cut the rear fenders off because they were busted up, used zip ties to stitch the front fender back together to keep crap out of my eyes, used red duct tape to tape up the cracks in the front headlight, used black electrical tape to tape the choke cable to the handle bar because the hand switch part got broke, and used this muffler tape stuff to fix a hole in the exhaust. this was because the prevous owner treated it like crap. but i will say that it runs good and strong and its the only thing i ride when we go out. and it has yet to let me sit. but until i get some extra money to fix these problems this is how its gonna stay. which make me sad because this is such a good little machine. but aleast its not getting treated like crap anymore.

The most redneck thing I did was put my 440 snowmobile engine on my 250-r.

I've used wire to hold on an exhaust before when the springs came off. I've also used welding rods to shim up the hub on a worn out axle so it wouldn't slip on it, heh. I dont mean used the rods to weld it on there, I mean stuck the rods in there the length of the splines and then beat the hub over it with a

. Good and tight then. Worked until I took it back off

REDNECKS FOREVER!!!

hmmm, i made an exhaust hanger for my silencer using a customized piece of garage door opener....but thats it, and it doesnt look too bad either...

**TeamGeek6** · 08-07-2005, 03:52 PM

10-4 did the same thing. Used cardboard cereal box for a silencer - to - pipe gasket.

Those wheel spacers might qualify for Redneck but only if they are done for lack of money LOL

car exhaust tubing in place of the rusted off spark arrestor, gave her that throaty sound
