erickson483 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I picked up an 87 back in february in pieces. A box of parts, and a motor with a cracked case. With all your help, money, and a lot of time I got her all fixed up. I got it running Friday before memorial day and took it up that day for the weekend. She ran like a champ.....until I cartwheeled lmao. I bent the shit out of my j arm and cracked my rear fender in half but it was a hell of a ride! Here's some pics Now after she cartwheeled It's not 100% the way I want it but I had to rush to get it ready for memorial weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infamous039 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Now that you have destroyed the J-Arm you should call Stellar and have him make you some +2+1 J-Arms that will last longer and handle better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFH87 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 How were the trails there? Never gone to the gladwin area before only st helen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erickson483 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Its about 30 min north of Gladwin but the trails are nice. You find random bowls and sand pits. It's pretty sandy though so its very dusty. But it's a good variety. Lots of good hills, whoops, woods, fields, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
