1986 bike build.

Post by scott mcgourley »

I picked up a couple beat old 86 kdx 200's> I am restoring one with the two bikes worth of parts. I pretty much have two running bikes, but it is cheaper and easier to buy a second bike instead of hunting for parts and paying for them $20 at a time on ebay. So far, I got one running and the other I stripped down to the frame and sent it out for powdercoat. Just got it back.

Hey Scott,

You gotta be the guy on CL that I was talking to about the flywheel.
Did you get the photos I sent of the flywheel?
If you don't know what I am talking about- nevermind and good luck.
I am putting an 86 back together too and will be watching this thread.

No, it wasn't me on craigslist.

Ok, so I got the pipe and head blasted, painting with bbq grill high heat spray paint. Got the shock rebuilt and a rolling chassis together.
