Project 84 200x.

[frankydodo]

Tire end to tire end i have 40 3/4" and now with the hub and new wheel i'm getting 45 1/2 not bad!

[frankydodo]

Do you know what universal fork boots fit the 200x ? On ebay everything i see is for 250r or 350x

I found some the other day. I typed in "200x fork boots"

[frankydodo]

I found some. Just had to change my country on ebay lol!

And yesterday i sandblasted my frame ! And today i painted it all black.

Its not that i dont like the r109 red. Its only that my fender are going to be white. And trust me its going to be awesome all black and white with a just a very little pinch of red.

when you blasted it, you should have gusseted some of the frame to keep it from crackling. too late now unless you feel like blasting and repainting.

[frankydodo]

Well. I will probably never hit the track with it just normal trail riding. does the 200x frame have weak spot that crack often?

[frankydodo]

Today i sanded and painted my swingarm in silver!



If everything goes well by the weekend i should have a rolling frame!

Terrebonne near montreal! You?

St-Elie-de-Caxton near Trois-Riviere!

[oscarmayer]

I would ask Mickey about the 200x weak spots. he would know better than me.

[frankydodo]

the 200x frame bend all the time at shock mount back to sub frames. the break all the time at the front engine mounts. They need to be gusseted up good not with straight welds or metal pieces either. Watch out the rear tires you chose...GNCC's will not power slide and have killer side bite...I had same tires and hated them on 3wheelers plus they dog the power way down. I went with OEM LTR450 rears which worked super well! good luck with the build, I've built too many 200x's

Some tips if you a larger rider of 5'6" would be to run higher bars or use an extra set of triple tree handle bar clamps to add about an inch in height.

What rear tire did you uses? I bought them because they were cheap as hell and the guy gave me 2 4-snow! Also ill check for the gusset a friend of mine is a welder and have his shop.

Edit: i just saw oem ltr 450 you talk about the tire? Not the wheel right?
Another update ! Engine is in!



I had to grind one of the spacer like 1/8



The front engine mount fit like a charm



The only mount i will modify is the upper one. It works upside down. Ill have to check that



Overall its a very good week!
