200ES Rear suspension mods ?? Any thing out there

[bucket]

Just spent an amazing 4 days in the woods banging logging roads high and low on a hunt. Have an absolute blast on my '84 200ES that I restored, modernized its electronics and set up for a dedicated hunting rig.. Some of the roads were pretty rough, and after a good sledding season my back is SORE.

Here she is, in all her glory takes me anywhere and always works, love the HID setup, reverse lights and everything else I rigged on it. But I took a buddies quad down this bumpy stretch of road and honestly it didn't even seem bumpy anymore. I love my trike and am not about to switch for a 4 wheeler, but the thought was on my mind is can I add rear suspension to it ?

I tried lots of searching but maybe my sun addled brain isn't working right, but, anyone done this ? Is it worth it, can good gains be made ?

There would be a ton of obstacles to overcome. I'm not aware of any projects where they put a rear suspension on a hard tail Big Red. I know you love your machine, but I think if you ever hopped on a 250ES Big Red, you'd love that one even more (full suspension).

Has been done before. Unfortunately the photos have been removed, but it came out great. Maybe PM the guy see if he still is around.
