Looky what I got today!!!

[cheetah]

Well never even had anything like it on my mind this morning, but saw it at a small trading post on my way back from lunch. I had to stop and check it out and ended up walking away with it. I've always wanted a project to fix up and now I have one. Not sure what year, but the frame has no cracks or welds, motor starts on first kick, and all bearings and bushings are tight. The plastics have no cracks and are barely scratched. I got her for $1350 I think I got a pretty good deal. So now I have me a project quad for winter. How fast can I really get these things to go?:devil:

[cheetah]

Needs a few small things like chain and sprockets, shifter, and a few bolts. Other than that good to go.:D

[batgeek]

WOW! looks to be in pretty good shape!

[LTandRaptorider]

That KX250 motor rips! Good deal on that, have fun! :)

[Rip_Tear]

Thats sweet, you don't need a shifter, just get it in fifth and leave it there :p I wish I could find a steal like that! Keep us updated with the project.

Yea I am thinking the same thing. I want some good 20inchers those 22s just don't work out but it needs all new rims I think plastic would be stronger than those.

BTW does anyone know anything I could look at specifically to find out which year it is. The VIN is tore off on that part.

Well... they only made them 2 years, not sure if there were any changes... I don't know if white and green plastics were available both years... matter of fact, I don't know why I replied because now that I think about it, I don't know too mcuh... :o :p

Thanks batgeek I'm guessing it's an '87 cause the vin just says KXF-250A on it no 1 or 2.:confused:

So all you past owners and riders, what exhaust options do I have. I have only seen FMF, but I was wondering if an engine builder makes and exhaust for them.
