Well I had my fun with the 200s I bought and I have started restoring the atc 110 I had purchased.

But It was time to get something that can rip a little bit and take some jumps so I went I got myself a 200x that was in pieces. I was looking around for one and had finally come across one that wasnt all beat to s*** and in basically pretty good condition for an old trike. I went and picked it up in 2 crates and a frame that only had a front wheel attached to it. The reason I bought it for the most part was because all the pieces were there and it was in pretty damn good shape.

Its an 85 200x all stock besides a Full DG exhaust. I put in brand new rear bearings and seals before the rear axle was reinstalled. Put in some fresh oil and cleaned it up a bit. All in all it took me about a day from some parts in bins to starting.

Restore wise I plan to-

New stock stickers
Put fresh paint on the Gas Tank of course with new stickers
Hopefully sandblast motor and other metal parts if I can get my hands on a sandblaster
Polish Front and Rear fenders and hopefully bring back some shine
New front bearings
and more.....

Here are some pics from what it was to were it is now. There bad phone pics but I will be getting some better pics after I refinish some other pieces. You'll get the idea.

Plans are to ride it for a bit learn some things then sell and upgrade to a 350x

I just got a 200x for xmas and it still is alot of fun to rip around on. The last one I had I traded up on a 350x and regret getting rid of both of those( especially the 350X). Im riding this around now and its nice that I can ride with my wife and kids instead of waiting for everyone to catch up like on the 2 strokes I rip around on. I think the 200x is a perfect all around trike for beginners or vets! IMO!!!

I took it out today for a bit. Just to have it running for a couple minutes. It has a small gas leak from the carb but other then that it rides great. after i fix the carb it should be good to go.

I ripped a couple wheelies for good measure. Hopefully this weekend when the weather is nicer there will be more to come.

I was looking at upgrading the piston to a 12-1 kit.

Would this require upgrading the carb or could you adjust the carb to add more fuel?

Nice build . That piston kit would be sweet. I was looking at them as well.
