Hello my fellow crazies and trikers! I am from ohio, and grew up riding some honda 3 wheelers, and now I am getting back into it. I bought a cheap 200s and rebuilt the top end, and replaced the front plastics, and did some re-wiring. Along those few weeks of waiting on parts, and ordering new ones, I also bought a parts trike that is a 1984 honda 200s frame, with a 200e or 200m motor in it, minus a harness. I believe the front end is also from the 200m/e due to the fact its got suspension, and a wider front end than what a 200s usually has. But I have been wrong before, and I may be here. Well, after digging into that frame and motor, the rear end is shot. I mean SHOT. Bearings gone, axle bent, axle threads and nuts stripped, mismatched hubs, you all know the routine. Well, I have seen some of the honda 2 wheel conversions some people have done, I wanted to try my hand at it. Sooooo, today was the start of the project, well the hands on part at least. The idea part has been going for a while. I posted some pics to my album, so you can check out pics there, and give me ideas, feedback. Basically I am using a hard suspension front end from an old trike, and flipping it to make a swing-arm. Ill keep everyone posted. Thanks, sorry if this was too long a first post, I am just super excited to be online with a bunch of other trike people. My wife thinks we are all weird.

Pictures above are of what i started with, then after rear section cut out, the forks/swingarm, and a few pics of what it may look like.
