My 82 actually looks better with the silvertone than before. My 83 has a mint condition seat though!

Look closer at the ES's rear fenders !!!

You'll notice red Crazy Carpet held on with nuts and bolts and washers.. Took some getting used to but they worked very well and held up great.

on my SX, I had a lawn mower gas tank duct taped to the handlebars because the metal one was rusted through, about 100 zip ties for the fenders because they were cracked, lots of tape on the seat, and before i sold it i had a minibike tank taped to the frame because i needed the lawnmower tank for well... my lawnmower.

1: I spent more money on the mud grips on my 185 than I did for the whole thing.
2: Seat has been held on with bungee cord for several years. (also 185)
3: trailer hitch on 185 is made from 5/8 steel plate and 5/8 all thread (free)
4: My 200 has a pair of 7.62mm US ammo cans welded to the rack.

went to wally world and bought a universal tractor light for 12 bucks...the 185 didnt have a light so i put it on..worked great for about 2 minutes..then it blew..so i took a big halogen kc off road light off my bros truck..he blew the engine so he didnt need it..and put that on it by bolting it to the fender! and it worked also for about 10 minutes..and blew..lol since then its been flashlights taped to the bars

I super glued my atc brake pads back on my brake shoes when they fell off while reinstalling them.

P.S. Just so nobody asks, yes it worked and is still working great.

most redneck thing i did was used a piece of round stock as the linkage for rear brake on 200x i have to rebend it every no and then but it stops
