thx for replying! I came to that conclusion by just comparing the bike online. Its very similar to the 2000 khs fxt trail. On the bike it just says its a khs a3500 and on the bottom has some type of writing either in Chinese or Japanese. this is where i get confused and dont know what to make of it. The bluebook bike looks like my bike. But if it was a fxt trail then wouldnt it state that on the bike, then I wouldnt have to go on a wild goose hunt. Thanks again. still trying to figure it out. Wish someone could read Japanese or Chinese, whichever it is.
