    Packed nicely, it's pretty incredible what'll all fit into a 200ES trunk.

    I carry a tool kit, tire pump, tire plug kit, tow rope, quart of oil, spar spark plug, and bungee cords, at all times. I pack the extra space with foam to keep everything from bouncing around.I forget what's in there most of the time. Looking at some of the new quads, they have a tiny trunk that's not nearly as secure. Matter of fact, I seen a 2019 Honda ATV trunk ripped open with a love tap from behind. The 200ES trunk is protected from that type of damage.

    Ok Boys, aside from a uni air filter, the Ultimate Hard tail, the Junk yard Dog is complete. She runs better than see looks, and she looks great. Like I said, I will not retro fit another set of plastics, just not worth it, but this one turned out very nice, no rattles, no squeaks it was done right, and i think it shows. The 84 big red is the best year of the 200cc class, it has the most options and with the 200 shock style front end, how can you loose. its the best of both worlds. Yes, I lost the front rack, I could have made it work, it would just be more time. Which I am all out of on this build. May be next time I will retro the rack onto a shock front end. It should bring a nice return on my investment. I know the stickers are not correct, but they catch your eye. Cha-ching.

    Nice job!

    You've done a lot to keep trikes going. Otherwise, they would've sat or been parted out.

    That stuff is definitely out there, finding it is the hard part. I know where one of those Sasquatch type trike frames is and knocked on the person's door two or three different days over a month. Someone was home, but never would answer. I could see it in their back yard, from the road.

    I think this one is finished, "South Port" became one of my personal bikes to add to the collection, this is what I envisioned when I bought it earlier this year, it took a little while but here she is.
    Upgraded kicker spring, new top end, mukuni carb, supertrapp exhaust (vintage) sounds awesome, new 18x11x9 rear tires on some D.I.D. gold wheels and a kenda upfront on a matching 11 in gold wheel, pair of 400ex hubs and coned shaped washers and nuts. She starts right up and the smaller tires is what the 200cc engine needed to give it a little more grunt on the trails. I am very pleased with how it turned out, I may opted for some new decals, but I do like the vintage worn look.

    Can anyone tell me about the chrome headlight/Master cylinder guard. Are they hondaline? aftermarket? or OE.

    Update, I sold the Ultimate Hardtail, "JYD" bike today, that empties the shop of all for sale bikes, dang now I have to go find another to flip.

    I bought this 185s a few months ago, got it running, rode it for fun a lot, cleaned it up and sold it and made a few $$

    I bought this 200x at the beginning of the outbreak and finally got it running yesterday and rode the h out of it! Local cop stopped me in town-wanted to look at it and told me it was a "very nice bike" and I was on my way. Still have to paint the tank black but it's a bada$$. NFS

    Well," Today was a good day" It was full of highs and lows, I went to pick up my 350x, and to look a 2 other bikes, a 200x (original owner) and a 185s.

    We went to see the 200x, found out he has 1 complete 200X and 2 parts 200X's, but would not sell any of them, we made an agreement for me to check back in a few months. I respect that. The 185s was a total piece of junk, no brake, like no pedals, no cables, no grips, no levers, more JB weld than metal holding gas the gas in, carb leaked like it had a hole drilled in it, no pull cord housing, non repairable seat pan, broken rack, like in 3 pieces, shock front end bent and rusted solid, 3 bald tires , if it wasn't a Honda, it would have never started. but it did, its the first bike I have ever passed on. It was listed as in "great condition" We couldn't make a deal, I played dumb, I ask about the brakes, he says these really never had any. The piece of junk was listed for $700, WOW some people.

    So while driving home feeling like I had struck out I went by a junkyard in Grand Ridge, Fl, We asked if by chance they had any old 3 wheeler's, your not going to believe this, he replied " yep, there's 1 in the back" I may have over paid for scrap price, but I picked up another 185s, just like the piece of junk I walked away from, no kidding. I paid $30 for this one, after an hour It runs, and after 1 more I drove it. no fooling. Wow, what a day, so I looked the 350x over after I got it home, I make the hard call to sell it as is. I posted a ton of pics and a good ad, with in an hour the sale is pending.
    What a great day, Spent the morning running the roads with my buddy and I was back home in just enough time for lunch and a nap.

    Everyone say hello and good by to my first ever 350x and Welcome home "The Ridge Runner" 185s

    Back in the saddle again,
    Picked up this sweet 1985 70 this morning, has no spark.
    Stripped a donor frame for the flat track 185 build I am working on.
    Also sold the 350x. I will find another.

    Well, less than 24hrs, I sold the 70, did my first sale using Paypal, what a modern world. I still prefer cash.
    The "Ridge Runner" is coming along nicely, Basically I am doing a frame swap with a 200, keeping the 185s shock style front end. The air filter attachment points are different, otherwise I cant tell much difference between a 185s and a 200 frame. The 185 frame was so rusted and bent, I choose to do the swap. I did notice the rear axle sprockets are different the 200 has the floating rubber cushions, while the 185 did not.

    I'm pretty sure it's an '81 ATC200 (no "S", "M", "E", "ES"...... just "ATC200")
