Hello fellow threewheeler fans! I am new to the sight. Been looking through it and so far I am very impressed by the wealth of info here. However I haven't been able to see many before/after pics of some of the restorations going on with these three wheeler gems. I just got bit with the atc bug and I'm itching for some inspiration. I bought a 81 ATC200 yesterday and after a oil change, carb clean and rebuild plus a spark plug she's rearing to go! Heck of a bike and a testament to Honda engineering. Would like to see others builds and what kinds of modifications they were able to do. Thanks!

Well, I finally had some time to get some work on her done. I took her down to just engine and wheels. Cleaned her with a wire brush and some elbow grease. Then I rattle canned her with black on the frame and mufflers. Then I took the tank, bondoed it and painted. I hate to see the old decals go away, but I will have some repros hopefully soon. Still gotta get a seat cover and freshen her plastics up. I am wondering though if I should paint the forks black or just go with Red. Suggestions anyone? 165380
