why put a big red motor? why not put a kxf 450 motor in it so you would have a 450 kawi trike....

84's big red engine are shaft drive, so I don't see how you are gonna turn the axle??

And 84 Big Reds are non-rear suspended - solid mount driveshaft from engine to rear axle - how would you put rear suspension on this unless you did IRS on the rear axle??????

So either 82 or 83 big red engine....
Did you ever rode a honda atc 200cc, maybe this engine is not powerful enough...

Put up some photos in the for sale section or on ebay, and let the kwacker live.

I seriously can't believe that you can't get a buyer for it.

If you do proceed with the engine swap, why go to the trouble of KX500 forks. That will cost you a fortune to get working.

I'd suggest, fitting the honda donk and leave as much of the kawasaki standard as possible. You would have the best brakes and best suspension that any ATC200 Big red ever had.

One cool looking Green Auto X.

well that should have alot of power. You might want to consider gearing it down. The tranny ratios in that 600 are made for higher speed.

I think it would be sweet when its done. :pics:
