how much $$$ into a non sport trike?

[Jim mac]

Just curious, How much do you guys put into a non sport trike? I've got a 70 that im up to about 300 bucks. and it still could use plastics, seat, maybe a set of rings. Oh its got 110 hubs so its go the 8 inch rims on it.
I got this 86 200S awhile back. paid $250 for it, it runs great, no smoke, only issue aside from a good cleaning, it needs a set of plastics and a seat cover. Absolutly no rust in the tank, no dents etc. its even titled. jim

what do you think? is it worthy of new platics and seat? jim

[Dammit!]

I would say that 200s is worth fixing up a bit just because it's a 1986. You don't see those very often.

Of course, like all of these things, once you start putting money into them you have to be aware that at a certain point you'll never get back what you got into it.

It depends if you’re going to keep it for a while or not. I would replace the headlight and seat cover on the 200s but not the fenders. I can see the fenders are cracked but they are not drooping so unless your going to keep it for a while and don't ride it where new fenders can get smashed up then I wouldn't spend the money. Around here I doubt I could get more then an extra $75 for it with new plastic, and with new plastic running $150 that’s not a good deal.

i go with the new seat. plastics, well depends on how you ride her. don't want to waste money then crack something ya know.

we've got about 1200 so far into our two atc70s. just a lot of little things here and there that slowly add up to something impressive.
