    My Honda 200e/s 2 wheeler conversion

    Here's my latest project, a honda 200 2 wheeler conversion made with mostly parts I've had sitting around. 200e frame and motor, 200s front forks and fenders, (front and rear) and a yamaha bw 200 swing arm. I will add more pics if you guys are interested!

    Not bad should be really fun.

    Few things to help out from things I have learned from friends builds and mine.
    The jack shaft slack will drive you nuts!

    Since you are using an 83 big red you have to be really careful on the chain to prevent breaking the case or wearing it.
    The bw200 inner sprockets are 530 not 520 chain. Not sure if they make a 530 front for the 83 or if the 530 chain will clear the case inside.
    Might want to check. You can always cut the inner jack shaft sprocket down to a 520 but trust me, try to keep 530 on it.
    That chain is really under stress on speed changes and with the case being so closed in the risk is much more.
    The 200m my bud has broke many a front chain.

    My bw200 has not broken the front on me. Slack on it really annoys me riding it.
    Noisy and jerky!

    Try to get the angle of the swing arm pivot, front sprocket, and jack shaft all in a straight row.
    tack the bits in place and sit on the rear and see your alignment with the shocks compressed.
    The chain will always rub the guide on the swing arm but you can move the shock mounts around or the pivot to make it not rub most of the time.

    Saw one recently on a ride. Really neat way they did it up.
    They added a little plate to move the pivot back 3 inches and 3 beefy chain rollers right in front of the pivot as chain guides.
    One in the middle of the chain, one above, one below.
    This way the chain will never rub the swing arm and will stay tight in a line.
    As the arm drops the lower and center wheel hold the chain in place for the shaft.


    The front end will need work.
    Rode one that the guy cut the neck and pushed the front end out a few degrees. Guessing 5 or so.
    The bike was really twitchy and hard to control in rough stuff with the stock 3 wheeler nearly vertical rake.
    Flipping the forks around helped.

    Adding length to the forks really helps as well.
    The one I just saw had the kawasaki front end on it.
    They cut and extended it to make level the bike for the front is already low and the frame rake made it lower.
    Like this front end but with 3 inches added to it.

    I totally understand where you're coming from, I would never cut up a perfectly good 3 wheeler, this is made entirely of single parts that I have aquired from buddies, and /or previous projects, and believe me I still had a tough time cutting up the frame!

    I actually used a bw outer sprocket for the inner sprocket to match the stock honda 520 sprocket, and tried to keep it as tight as I could initially, hopefully it will last, if not I may have to add a tensioner of some sort. Thanks for all the other info on the front end stuff, this is all definitely an experiment for me.

    Thats cool!
    Nice Work!
    Got to fab up a neat skid plate and crash bars.
    Bud did not add those and broke the clutch cover a while back.

    Do you have any fold up pegs? If not might want to make some.
    Those stock ones with no give will take you down since the bike is so wide.
    Used some fold up ones from another year, think it was a 200s but can not remember.

    A guard and chain on the shifter is needed as well. To exposed as a bike.

    The look it has screams auxiliary fuel tank.
    Like the ones the old trail 90/110 bikes had.
    Might be a neat add one to offset the pipe on the opposite side.

    Like the way you made the stock pipe look like a stock bw! Nice retro look in the mounting!

    You might have room for the chain rollers i mentioned.

    Are you adding anything like a tab for the set screws that adjust the offset bushings?
    Or did you replace them with regular bushings?


    My buds bike how he changed the rake was to cut the front down tube out.
    Torched the top tube right behind the bracing and bent for his rake.
    Then he rolled a new down tube so it curved right into the old spots.
    Had to cut off the tank mount bolt and move it back a little.
    Gave the tank a little upward tilt. Not much.

    Your work is way better then my buds cobble work.
    Cant wait to see it all done so I can show him.
    I got another old frame outback that has issues. Might convince him to rebuild his.
    He built his swing arm out of pillow blocks, 2 inch square tube, and an old street bike swinger. Its ugly.

    Actually doing some final assembly now, should be an interesting ride. The seat from the 200e still fits, as I did not change that part of the frame, I will also try to find some busted up old fenders that I can trim into side panels, and to fill the space under the seat. I left all the factory mounting tabs for these as well. I also welded in tabs on the rear to run a front 200s fender.
