Outta ask more than that Shade.  Used ATV prices are up.  You can always drop it if it doesn't move.

 

Looks great, as always.

i have not listed it yet on CL's, i might put it in at $ 2,300.00- $ 2,500.00 ?, i will wait until i am all done to decide on asking price. i have not test road it yet ?, so i will make my final judgement after i see that everything is working as it should ?. the shift lever seems to not '' feel '' right when i lift up or push down ?, i am hoping the clutch is maybe sticking on disk ?, or it needs adjusting ?, all i know is..is something is not right with it at times when changing gears ?!.

They leaking?  Look like they have decent tread left on them......

 

  Jeep , what you say , Dry rot !!!  Is that what that stuff  is called , as long as they hold air for the day  with no more than 1 bottle of slime in it , send it !!!!!  LOL 

 

 

After a good washing , very now and then ,  I spray my tires down ,  with a heavy coat of  Armor-All or some old school STP Rubber Protectorant which is almost gone , that is good stuff , don't know if you can get it any more  , and don't wipe if off , let it soak on , I hate dry rot

yep..they have decent tread on them bro..but the side walls are bad. i had to break them down anyway to fix the dents on the lips of the rims, figured i may as well just buy new tires. if you want these for your project 350's ?. let me know..i'll stash them back, hold them for you next time you head this way, free of charge if you want them ?. no they do not leak. :-).

If they hold air I’ll take them. Used one of the sets of my 350 tires on that Polaris SXS for the little one. Thanks man!

update: got the rims painted, installed, need to adjust the toe-in-out, front wheels are not straight. got the bottom skid plate cleaned and painted, installed. rear hitch installed, but have not painted it yet. was able to crank her up, and check my clutch adjustment, seems to be ok now ?!, shifts a lot better than it was, but i had to turn the adjustment bolt like 2 full turns counter clockwise !..lol. anyway, i will know more when i get it rolled out of the shop, and test ride it. then i will go back over cleaning it up, shiny and all, then take some final pic's, then post it here and on cl's for sale !.

Sorry shade that was not meant as a slam.  Believe it or not it was meant just the  Opposite,   I meant it that you are way generous and don't think you get paid Enough what you do. You turn out amazing machines when you are done with them and I always feel that you should get more for what you Do. I apologize if you were offended in any way it was not meant that way.

LOL.  Shade makes projects a lot nicer than I do.  If I just figure in part prices I probably do ok on flip bikes.  If I figure in anything for labor I'm probably paying myself $3/hour.
