1987 Honda Atc 200x

[Xander]

Hi everybody. Earlier this year, I purchased a 1987 200x form a guy in Chesterville. At the time I did not realize what I had bought. Since this is the first year I have ridden a trike, I didn't know very much about them. I've been reading some restorations recently, and thought I would post the progress of mine. When I got it, it was very rough, and needing lots of help. The main reason we got it was because the transmission was jammed on it, and it just so happens we had an 86 engine laying around from my dad's trike. He had an 83, third gear went out on it so he bought this, not knowing it doesn't fit. After he found it doesn't fit, he sold the 83 and this 86 engine has been sitting in our basement for about 6 years. Anyway, we bought the 87 and put the 86 motor in it. I will be posting pics of my progress later.

This is what it looked like when we first got it, the front hub and the swing arm bearings had about a half inch of play, it had 83-85 plastics on it no front fender, headlight was broken, wrong seat, and as I said before the whole tranny was messed up. We to the original motor out to be packed up for selling or fixing later. Then put the 86 in.

Good looking project, I've got two I'm rebuilding. The 200x is a sweet ride.

Yep, 2nd gen 200x is on my short list...... Love that little trike!

Thanks everybody. I love this trike too. Here are some shots of what it looks like first day we put the engine in it and re jetted it. We put the stock fenders back on. It looks better already. The second pic is what it looks like first time we took it to the trails. I took the headlight off because it was broken and I hadn't repaired it yet.

Welcome to the boards and the fever!!

I began taking the 87 motor apart to fix the transmission about a month ago. Originally, I figured it would only be sixth gear broken as the guy we bought it from said sixth gear was messed up, but when we spilt the case, as it turns out, about three single gears were broken/had some teeth broken. We bought a transmission off ebay. Here are some pics of what the old transmission looks like.

Here are some pics of the new tranny, installed in the crank case. Attachment 159866Attachment 159867

If anybody is interested in the old tranny, it still has some good gears and good shafts, also has a good shift drum, and two good shift forks. Looking to get about 40 bucks out of it. If your interested, let me know. Thanks.

Good stuff going on. Let's see more.

Ya know, it boggles my mind as to what degree a person has to abuse a wheeler to do that kind of damage to a transmission.... I mean, look at all the 250r's and 350x's with transmissions still going string and running like new.

Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing that revived '87!

I recently purchased some front and rear fenders off ebay as well as a seat, grab bar, and a tail light. Here are some pictures of what they looked like before I cleaned them up.

Here are some more pics.

Here are some pics of the front fender after I cleaned it up. The light is out for repairs. It looks much better with a front fender.
