The 85 is my current project, and the best bike I've owned. Here's what is has so far:

new renthal "ATV race" bend bars new FMF silencer new Paul Turner Hi-rev pipe new Pro-X piston Shaved head and honed .10 over barrel (by Duncan racing) completely rebuilt shocks with stiffer springs new factory rear, and radiator plastics with the stickers Planning on a bunch more upgrades including the desert tank, and desert lights. (have a hi-flite desert seat) PRM skid plate and rear desert grab bar. currently have 350X headlights, I just don't run them. Also the 500.00 dollars in new plastics plus I'm still getting a new front fender, and headlight I'm not going to run on an everyday basis. I have cheap Maier plastics so when I ride.

The 200X is completely stock, except for the six-pak rack in the rear, and only needs a seat cover. It starts first kick, and I believe it has never been rebuilt.

Bought the 81 250R, and the 85 200X for 1000.00 dollars, and it included a corvair dune buggy, and trailer. I bought the 85 250R off of my brother for 900.00and have about another 1200.00 into it plus more on the way.

The 81 is completely stock except for the seat cover. I have the original wheels in my shed. It is currently sitting on blocks awaitng a complete rebuild. It still runs though, just no one rides it.
