[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3166293, member: 5412"] Mine is an 85, but I had the steel tank powder coated white like an 86 because I liked the color scheme. When I bought it at a farm auction the front forks were bent so bad the front tire was hitting the left foot peg. Guy drove it off a bluff in the middle of the night. He survived, but the machine was wrecked. Got it for next to nothing, but a year later, with a lot of ebay and other sources I spent more than you could have bought it for new. I want a 200X front end to put on it because of the disc brake, but haven't found one that is not priced out of this world. Completely dismantled it, had the frame, tank and steel wheels powder coated, painted the engine, and did a general detailing of the entire machine. I've got a set of polished aluminum wheels with some kick-butt sand paddles to take to the dunes or ride in the snow with. Bought an Arctic Cat 500CC, 4WD four wheeler last year that was used, and "drives" really nice over rough terrain with the long travel suspension, but there is nothing like getting on the trike which is like getting into a sports car when compared to the Arctic Cat. Fast, nimble, and will run circles around a 4 wheeler in tight trail riding. Is that an 8" rim on your 110 front end? What size tire? I may have one behind the barn I took off the wrecked one that looks like your tread design if I remember right. If it's a size you can use, I'll give it to you, no charge if you pick it up or pay shipping. Just taking up space back there and is no use to me. [/QUOTE]
