Does anyone know if 83 atc200x's came with a swingarm skid plate? 83 has a diff style swingarm than 84-85 200x's. I can find 84-85 plates but nothing for 83. My swingarm has 4 holes on the underside which I'm guessing is for a skid plate.

Yes it did, and you are correct, they came with a different style swing arm. I had the same problem when I had my 83. I could find them for sale on eBay but just as cracked and damaged as the one I had. Mine got ripped off the tabs and had a few splits in it.
All I can say is keep and eye out and try a few different variations in the search bar to try to get one to pop up.

ehhh, maybe I'll just end up making one out of some 1/8" steel.

*6 month update*
I had to chew on 2 dilemmas I was having with swapping the 250 into the 200x so I bought another project trike. 84 200s. Here is a picture of it shortly after I took possession. What you see it what I got. It didn't run, had no brakes, tires were junk.
and here is the most recent pic. Ebay carb, bought a pull starter (which I had to rebuild), rebuilt the kill switch, acquired a headlight, replaced the triple tree/ front axle, front axle bearings, rear brake shoes & cable, rear hubs, 3 tires and 1 tube, fabbed fenders, resealed the rocker box/ cdi cover. Retapped about every hole on it. Still a work in progress but it goes and stops own its own now.

I did make progress on the 250r swap though. I have the engine mounts done and figured out what I'm going to do about a chain tensioner. I'm still hung up on what to do about the kick start dilemma. I'm either going to have to modify the frame, which I have to do for the exhaust anyways, or have some goofy kick start shaft the moves the lever away from the engine which is going to cost a lot more. I think the last thing I was actively working on was trying to get the bearing races for the swing arm pivot, out of the swing arm. Anyone have any suggestions on that?

From pa, built many 200x's before Ephrata pa here
What you need to do about the kicker is nothing other then extend the shaft...you need to do a flip seat or cut the rear fenders back some and use a short blaster or banshee kicker.
Need more rear world advice call or stop into to see mike @ www.HREatv.com in Middletown.
