My new (old) 87

[nutwarrior]

Well today i went and got an '87 to play with. I like it and can't wait to take it out. Check it out and let me know what you think.

 

[nutwarrior]

A little bigger one.

 

[teamexileracing]

WOW! thats the nicest looking warrior ive seen in a long time. Its soo clean, and for the year it looks even better. Did the guy that you bought it off of not even ride it?

 

[nutwarrior]

Thanks. The guy i got it from said he only had it for like 8 months. But i don't think its ever been ridden very hard. It really needs new tires though, it can't even wheelie it just spins. I'm debating between keeping the gold rims or getting ITP C series. What do you guys think?

 

[yamarider]

I'd keep the gold rims, they give it a cool classic look.

wow..thats clean..very clean..and yeah def. new tires..I would recommed kenda knarly 20 inch tires..

 

[nutwarrior]

Yeah i'm pretty sure i'll get kendas. Either knarlys or klaw xc's. And i'm thinkin 20 inchers in back, 21's in front. My wifes warrior has 22 inch klaws and I really like them.

I know I will buy the gold rims from you if you sell, mine are starting to look a little beat up

 

[97warriorrider]

idk about the XC klaw..I never liked them and i know of some people on here that hated them..i run a 21 up front with 20's in the back on my 400ex and it works perfect in the woods

 

[missouritrailrider]

gold rims definitely

 

[nutwarrior]

I'm leaning towards keeping the gold rims for now. It looks so retro I don't think i'll change the overall looks too much. Just a few subtle changes and some mechanical upgrades you won't really see. Retro/sleeper so to speak.

 

[sp1tekiller]

Wow, that is almost too original too ride. Nice find!

 

[galaxy5oo]

Super clean 87. I would not get the ITP C Series whatever you do. (Just my personal opinion). I have a set and they are way to heavy. If you go to chrome I would get something different than the C Series.

 

[nutwarrior]

Update... I am sticking with the stock golds. I just got a set of 21x11x9 Kenda Knarly XC's mounted up. Took out both of our warriors saturday just to mess around, (finally had a nice saturday off) and i really like them so far. On a side note I switched out the shifter on my wifes 89 for a YZ250 unit off of ebay, really a nice upgrade! Mines next!

 

[ridinfast03]

Post up some pics man I dont like my shifter either..

 

[dave76]

The direct shifters do make a big difference.

 

[DeadLastRacing]

So the YZ250 Shifter is a direct switch out / bold up? If so Im buying one asap.

 

[courchaine]

Yfz450 shifter is also bolt on....I got a IMS for like 35$ at the job and it makes a very big difference I've never fall in neutral since I got mine

Are you doing something different with the lighting?
