    Cool pics of my SX

    whats up everyone,

    I applied the tank decals for my SX today, and just put on the new swinger a couple days ago, so I figured I'd clean it up a bit and take some pics... here they are, tell me what you think...

    Looks pretty cool, What size rims are those on the back? How much and were did you get the tank decals, I need to redo my tank but I want the decals to be like the originals.

    Very nice looking '86. What rims do you have on the rear? Douglas?

    You look at the bolt pattern in the one picture and the rear rims kinda look like Tecate rims, surely not. How could that be possible?

    That SX has alot of potential of being a very nice machine (even nicer). Polish your forks and front brake backing, paint or get a new front rim, freshen up that headlight and front fender, and paint some miscellaneous items and it'd be shining.

    lol, I know it looks like an '86 but its actually an '85...notice the red headlight and early style swingarm assembly. I went with the color scheme of the '86 with the blue ceet atc seat and white tank and red fenders but with a red headlight instead of white... eventually I'm getting a 350x headlight. I got '86 tank decals and the back rear fender decal... and have '85 rear fender decals for the sides on their way in the mail... I get my decals from Harlan Lsyne... hes on ebay and sells decals for most trikes..the tank decals were 20$ shipped I believe.

    The rear rims are rediculous... when I bought it it was like this. Whoever rigged them up took sprockets and ground all the teeth off, then somehow, someway... the sprockets had the perfect holes to match the bolt pattern of the 250sx hubs and adapt it to allow you to put 10" rims with a different bolt pattern on... kinda like an adapter ... I have brand new maxxis sur-trak's mounted on 8" douglas .190 aluminum rims on their way, will be here on the 1st of Feb.

    The front tire and rim I just bought off ebay already mounted, the tire is brand new and the rim of course is used but in good condition, just needs paint.. which I will do very soon... The front brake plate I am going to replace soon also, as it is frozen... I already have brand new lever, cable and shoes ready to go..

    As for the front fender, I am getting a new one... I just want to know if a 250r front fender would fit, cause that would look much better... Soon as I find that out I'll buy a new maier one..
    Thanks,

    you could always drill the correct pattern into the R fender. Or zip tie it

    Nice SX man. I have always liked the 86-87 SX color scheme too. I did the same thing to my 85 SX when I had it.
    86-87 Tecate ROCK!

    Ride fast...........brake late............and Slide the rear!

    Whoaaa, buddy!

    I don't think that set up will work with the brake drum, will it?

    Did you measure to make sure? This has been discussed tons of times because of the drum and honestly I don't remember if your set up you ordered was A-OK or not?

    Where on earth can you get a new OEM rear fender for a SX?

    Sure you don't mean a after market Maier job?
