Just found a nice atc 200s, it's been sitting in a shed for the past 10 years. The carb slide is stuck, so I have it soaking at the moment.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170406/07f36892b5abc9c06bc46710cb5da1b7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170406/7635c18b74c57ae82a7612600d7ef401.jpg

Looks pretty good. I'd recommend ditching the Trail Pros.

The rear tires. Trail pros are known to survive wars, withstand nuclear blasts, and have a tendency to be on about half the hardtails out there. They are heavy, make your hardtail really rough on the trails, and are I don't think anyone likes those tires around here lol. I personally lucked out and never got a trike with them yet.

With no rear suspension the OEM 2 ply tires were designed to absorb a lot of the bumps and humps on the trails. Now you can't get that style tire and that compound anymore but you can still get a cheap 2 ply knobbie tire like your front tire and it'll still ride pretty decent. The thicker the tire, the heavier, the worse it's gonna be on your back on a hardtail. Not saying I listen to my own advice, but it's still good advice lol.

I also found out the hard way that Trail Pros don't get very good traction in the mud either.
