Welp, the damn kids managed to hit a damn tree on my damn quad. Not sure what happened, but there was nothing I could do. They weren't hauling azz, but the kid hit the left front tire on a tree hard enough to turn the quad on its side. Kids are fine, and I got it flipped over really quick. I let it sit a while and she fired right up. Anyway, the left front tire is totally trashed. So bent and wobbly.

So:

I took it off, I took the brake drum off, and i noticed the bearing had 'slipped'. I don't know how else to described it but it was cockeyed in the drum. I re-seated it. The drum now SEEMS to run true. The wheel is still trashed. I cannot really tell if anything else is bent. Is there really anything else to check on these? Nothing is broken, and I don't see any obvious bends. Tie rods are still straight. Is there anything left to do but replace the rims?

Da*****, I JUST got this thing all up and running earlier this year as chronicled here on the forum.

Good thing no one was hurt

If I remember right the front rim on that 200SX is unique to that bike , different lug pattern , I have a whole bunch of parts from 2 200 SX's that I would like to get rid of cheap , are you close to New Orleans

yes , I have a complete front end , a-arms , knuckles , brakes , don't know if I still have the front rims , which are unique like I mentioned , I pretty sure I have ditched two sets as they would have been useless to me , also have the complete rear axle , with swing arm , hubs , sprocket , etc , seats , tanks , don't want to sell any engine parts as one day I am going to put that engine in a cart ----- I have never shipped much in my life and really don't want to get involved in it , I would like for the person to see it in person and have no issues to deal with

we had a lot of fun with the 200sx's , very fast , very maneuverable , runs like a bat out of hell , took a licking and kept on ticking
