Hello Guys!
I just became a proud owner of 2001 Trail Boss 325 for free courtesy of my neighbor, whose Honda Quad I got running after 6 years under a tarp in the back yard.
Well, Boss came to me in pieces with some nuts and bolts missing, carb put back together with half of the bolts, broken seat, broken throttle lever, chain rusted out, brakes almost metal on metal, rear master shot and body that was repainted by a brush! Other than that I was told it ran great last time (might be years!) ago! LMAO! Beware of "FREE" vehicles!
I started hunting for parts on eBay, Amazon, Bike Bandit, ..... Any particular place that you guys can recommend from personal experience?
Also when I checked into throttle lever switch, there are multiple part numbers all over the place yet they all look exactly the same to me from that era. Am I right? Can I instead of p/n:2010204 use p/n:2010335 which was a "B" option on BIke Bandit? I mean if my Boss came with one p/n can I just buy the other p/n, or even from a different machine and just swap them as long as they have a throttle safety switch in it? Prices seem to vary significantly.
This is going to be a fun project and I am not trying to be sarcastic. I am a professional mechanic by trade and worked on far more complex vehicles as well as some very old classic restorations.
Thanks Guys!
