I gotta admit the first time riding my 3 wheeler felt really weird, I was used to driving my dirt bikes too, but give it a couple hours and you'll love it, I would take a trike any day over a dirt bike now,
keep us updated still on how it goes

[ColtonGG33]

oh and what kind of trike was sitting in your neighbors yard?

NICE...Just found me my first three wheeler a great deal, 85 honda 200s for 90.00 bucks....not much work needed to get it running again ,just cleaned up the carb and bam bad boy is up and running,wheels had small leak but just put some slime in them and there fine now also cleaned them up a little but thats it for 90.00 bucks i think that was a great deal.
what u guys think?

[ColtonGG33]

You stole that thing duck4twenty. Awesome find

This might be dumb advice, but I know at car driveline shops you can get axles resplined when the cut down rear ends for drag racing. ever thought of by a piece of steel cut to length and getting it splined on either end ,and the middle for sprocket carrier? I know any decent machinist could make it on a CNC,no prob.

Fender looks good Yoomoo. Only thing I'd do is trim down the plastic at the frame crossmember to give it a more fit and finish look.

[duck4twenty]

anyone know if i can swap out my 200s forks for 200sx or x forks? or even 250r forks?
or any other forks that have longer travel.

You're hijacking Yoomoo's thread. Start your own to address your question - you'll probably get more response.

nice you stole that thing for 90 bucks.......i got mine fo free but it was a pile of junk basiclly in peices, now its looking so good im frantically looking for an axle solution so i can ride it


also duck4twenty not to sound like a mean guy here or anything but you would get alot more help with your own thread, but thanks for stopping in, and again nice ride you got there



@ 4givin: im not so sure that would be cheap, i used to work as a cnc mill operator and i couldve got it done for free back then but knowing what we charged it wouldnt be worth even trying but thank you for the suggestion


@ big G: im not sure were you suggested to cut the fender at? you talking behind the seat or under the seat buy the gas tank?, that silver bole on the black peice is the only thing secureing the plastics to the frame on each side so a total of 2 bolts then the rear seat rubber pads at the back are holding the back part of the plastic down to the frame, its pretty secure it just dont look as factory as it could i geuss, i might make a bracket for each side to raise the front of the plastics to just under the seat so they look stock?

[yoomooman]

i just now found a motorcycle salvage yard 20 miles from me, im gonna call them tomoro to see if they have any 3 wheelers, if so im gonna go down there and see what i can find....woot!.... god dont fail me now

[ColtonGG33]

Man I wish I had motorcycle salvage yard around here, I wonder how much you
Would have to pay? Or is it by the weight of the object

Yes, I meant under the front of the seat, below the gas tank. It just looks like the plastic sticks out into the engine compartment area. Not a big deal - just thought it might look better is it was trimmed back a bit to where the frame tubing comes down. Looks like the mounting bolts would still be in tact even if you did - from what I can tell from the pictures, but I maybe I'm missing something...
Anyways, good to hear you found a bone yard. They're bound to have a 185 or 200 kicking around it there!

[yoomooman]

i trimmed it yesturday and it looks a bit better, thanks for the advice BigG


as for the trikey its on hold till more money comes my way.......baby items come first at the moment.....

[yoomooman]

still have not gotten to ride it yet, no welder to make an exhaust and no axle solution yet, just start it from time to time to keep things oiled

[MasterYota]

Anyone know if a 200s axle will fit? I have one in a frame I'm about to haul in for scrap, I'm not 100% certain its condition, but hey, you can have it if you want it.
