1987 LT230EH QUAD RUNNER EXHAUST OPTIONS?
By: redwhiteblue Date: January 3, 2016, 8:11 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
I came across these 2 LT230EH's left in the woods behind my
friends place. I bought both for less than $200. I'm using one
for parts and trying to get the other one put together. I have
2 factory exhausts that are in lousy shape. I've searched quite
a bit for any aftermarket exhausts proffered for the 87' model.
Apparently DG started making pipes for the LT230E in 88'. I'm
out of ideas and was hoping one of you guys would know if there
is an aftermarket option. Is there someone I could go to for a
custom header pipe and possibly a muffler? I'm wanting to
completely go through the motor and transmission. I was wanting
to do a big bore on it, and I'd like to get it back to like new,
just with a bunch of added HP & torque... and if anybody can
tell me what kind of things I can do to the motor, that would be
great. Do they make cams, bigger valve job?, custom +4swinger,
wider a-arm?,....I'd like to bore it to a 300, updated and
larger carb if needed..? What options are there for an 87'?

I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a LT230. Those things
are turds.

It's still a part of our quad history. I managed to find 2 of
the first year LT230E's.... then swapped parts to the other one.
They may be turds from the factory but I'm wanting something
more powerful and a wider stance so it's not leaning as much
with Steelers shocks for about $1400. Add a custom swinger,
probably for $500 maybe more, New ITP rims with razor rubber.
The motor definitely needs rebuilt too. Anybody got
recommendatios for the motor work? While I'm in there, it makes
sense to go through all of it. My 85' LT250R can get rebuilt
once i harvest some walnut trees this winter. I got both
covered I think. Just 2 of my walnuts will bring more than
$1200! And I'm loaded with them. ;D

Of what history?
The lt230 isn't part of the lr250r or lt500r history.
It might be apart of general quad history but that doesnt mean
shit. That is like saying, well the gremlin is part of history,
I should spend lots of money trying to make it faster when it
really wont.
If you want to spend money on an inferior quad, go right ahead.
But good luck finding any performance parts for one.

I'm not sure what got in zillafreaks butt but just know one
thing, the rear factory hubs on my 85' 250R slid right onto my
87' 230E. If I looked closer I'd probably find more stuff that
the quadracer influenced. As a matter of a fact the a arm
bushings on the 230E look very close to the 250R's. So I guess
you could say they were in a way intertwined. It may be an
inferior quad but I think he's wanting to change that. Am I the
only one reading what redwhiteblue posted? And besides, if he
has the money, I'm sure he will find someone who can help him.
If you don't have anything nice to say, find somewhere else to
vent.

Are Cobra exhausts still around? I know they made cheaper
exhaust pipes for basically every four stroke ATV.

I don't know but now I'm researching them to find out. Where
can I get a set of new fenders for the 87'?

Maier still makes new fenders for the LT230E and LT230S.

I'm sorry what was that about no performance parts available?

It may be a dg exhaust but it's better than a stock one. I'm
not trying to go through it again, I'm just saying.
