What did I get myself into?!?!
« on: May 18, 2013, 05:10:51 pm »
So just picked up this bad boy as it sits in this picture for $200. Needs a battery and some carb work and put back together. What type of headache am I looking at? I've never worked in an lt80 before.

When you are ready for more power research "macdizzy". Dont know if he is here, but ive seen him around on some of the 2 stroke sites. He has some port specs to make those Rip!
I make carbon case savers, and sprocket covers for a bunch of crazies that own ancient bikes, Wait, I have an ancient LT250 too!!!

lt80 is the man when it comes to the lt80's. i think he is on atvconnection.com
i tried to talk to mitch about getting him a spot on here, but since Mitch does not like him he wont give him a spot.
but i think he builds some of the fastest 80's out there.
life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sidays totally worn out shouting "HOLY SH*T...WHAT A RIDE!"

Don't recall what my Dad wants for it. I'll find out tomorrow.

Nothing to it. I have a PDF manual if you need. Easy to modify. Do the clutch mod, pipe, wheel flip and your smiling. I put narrowed full size atv bars for a better fit.
