my new 84 200x

[wide'n'low]

i picked this up a few weeks ago. its a 84 200x. the guy i bought it from had set it up for ice racing, the local track is in sioux falls. he let this go because he found a 350x
its in great shape mechanically and cosmetically, the only blemishes were a couple small dings in the gas tank. it could use the valves adjusted (slight tick sometimes, its not all the time) and forks redone. thats about the only work it needs.

its had a topend rebuild after last season to be competitve for racing, the motor was ported and polished. a xr200 or custom grind cam was installed. i has a k&n filter/outerwears lid, and i believe the exhaust is a super trap. it has a 12x9 douglas rim in front, proarmor teather. it has a rebuilt stock carb also.

i bought this to convert to a sand trike. so far ive only done small things.
i removed the rear fenders, took the number plate off and swapped a 03 blaster nose to it. painted the tank matte black, updated honda stickers. got some 8x9 rims and put 18x8x9.5 six paddle sidewinders on them. i picked up a mikuni vm26ss 29mm carb for it.

heres after the first ride(got muddy:)) with the blaster nose on it.


i was wondering if there are fork rebuild kits for the 200x all i can seem to find is seals. or should i swap to a 250r fork? ive at least found spring kits for them. also what are the 200x forks filled with air, oil, or nitrogen?

im having a hard time trying to find a sand tire for the front. any suggestions?

comments and suggestions welcome

Why would you remove the rear fenders?

i took the fenders off for the "dirtbike" look, that and when im going 50-60mph over the sand theres no drag being caused by them.

thanks, i like how its turning out. i wanted a more modern look. heres some better pics of the exhaust. notice the crazy turbine baffle.

lol, my buddy refers to it as "the wingless dragon cyclops thing". got the valves adjusted, way more torque than before. i have a feeling with 24's i could get this thing up to 60

I have a brand new DG exhaust system for an 84 200x. $50 and it's yours. Motorcycle superstore sent me the wrong exhaust and would not take a return. In box never used.

In box never used. the sparks is worlds better than the dg, why would i downgrade. plus its being parted, i sold the motor to a buddy to help him out with his atc as this 200x is my spare atv at the moment. the money i get from the part out will go towards the blaster i have sitting, needs a bigger carb and reed system to run at full potential.


lol So whats the blaster wearing now, an ATC number plate???no the same hood just black lol.
