    I just thought someone should work up an 83 xc 500 and have a crack at that....down pipe, port work, bigger carb :eek: lowered shocks and forks, looks like fun.... I think the 400 would be waaay underpowered. I wonder when its on again???

    You know talking about auto's I had a Polaris 400L quad. With a snowmobile auto clutch. With some clutch tuning, pipe, carb jetting the darn thing would fly. With the speedo it spent 50% of riding miles in the air when compared to other quads. My point is everyone thought the autos were no good. Now there the cats meow. No shifting just picking the lines. The machine does it all for us. Maybe we'll see a auto husky again?
