The looks and comments make riding a vintage sled all the more enjoyable ! If there are no part #'s on the side of that shield then maybe it is a do it yourself job ?

You can buy a sheet of Lexan and cut one yourself and then form it with a heat gun, I have seen some do a very nice job.

Nice!!!
Wow-look at the difference in the rear suspensions....does the one with the 83-up pro-action link ride a little better, or a lot better ??? I always thought that suspension rode pretty decent for its age, that is until they morphed them back into the early-mid 90's vmax's....then they were sub-par ......and the 96' XT's with the pro-action "plus" - oh my-finally a longer travel unit!!!
Love the look and aura of the 81' srx 440's - awesome!!!!!

thanks
but i blew one up trying too catch a apex ..
too much RPM for too long and those dam after market rings.
so back to the work bench with her..
pistons, rings are wiseco std
both sleds are 540 vmax motors
440 motors are benched
