    185s rear suspension

    What years did the 185s have a rear shock?

    honda?
    I have a 185 engine in an 'x' frame which was my first
    chance of having full suspension a few years ago.
    Other than the x or r models, I think rear suspension started with the 250
    e, es. in 1985.
    A fun thing to do is look at the original sales brochures.
    I think they're on the front page of 3ww

    The 185s never had a rear shock. The only way you could it it like that was to buy a bolt-on or weld-on aftermarket kit. Did you find a 185s with suspension or are you looking for one? I've got a nice frame with a weld on kit already on it if interested.

    Did the 200s ever come with rear suspension?

    I was looking for a cheap but mostly there rolling project and thought a 5speed manual Lifan engine with full suspension would make a good trail trike on a sport frame with the smaller tires and shorter wheelbase.

    I also like the idea of a 185/200s auto-clutch engine in a 200x if I can find one that needs a motor.

    The 200s never came with rear suspension either, unless it has an aftermarket kit on it.
