Doobee doobee doo...Oh, hello there.

Hey, peoples. I was given an old Honda frankenstein trike recently. It's an '80 ATC185 frame with a '83 ATC200 engine and a '84 ATC200S Keihin carb (PD85C).

I'm currently waiting for close to 200 dollars in parts to arrive in order to give it some much needed love. Carb rebuild, recoil start rebuild, new air filter, petcock, various gaskets and all that jazz. Thought I'd join to see what other trike knuckleheads are up to. Glad to be here, folks.

PS: Does anybody have 200 bucks they could give me? Just kidding. (No, I'm not.)

I have a 80 185 with a 200 engine also.

Info, if you have not found it yet.

Thanks MonroeMike, I didn't have the 3rd one. Dynomite!

Hoosier, I'll trade plastics? ? ? Mine are a lovely shade of spray paint blue. Thanks for the welcoming words. Everyone's been real nice.... and I don't even have big boobs.

Aw, man, Hillbilly. Way to rub it in. Although, I just rebuilt my recoil. Smooth as silk, it is. (F'in $80 it better be)


I found my new parts half in and half out of my mailbox yesterday. Satisfaction. Now, how to clean an airbox and element caked with a mixture of dirt and mouse pee.....

I swear to god mine are spray painted blue too!! But Ill bet somebody didnt try to fiberglass over the cracks in the plastic on yours. Heck you probably dont have a seat with enough padding on it for 5 normal seats, not to mention the ugly home made cover. Heck mine even has trailpros on it. Beat that. This is the pic of "The Ugly Duck".

I'll regrettably admit, I can't beat that. Although, you can't put a premium on ass protection... BUT, do you have a sweet bumper like this....

It's the small victories in life.

[hoosierlogger]

HA HA no i dont have a bumper, but I have the crappiest looking trailer hitch you have ever seen on it.
