    buying junk we don't need.

    200x frame listed for sale, seller mentioned he thought everything was in the shed and if it went to the trike,It was included. Go look at it this afternoon and the whole bike was not there. the frame, swing arm, shock, disc and sprocket and grab bar,foot pegs on the frame. Front forks, wheel, tire and disk up front. in the shed is a motor, carb, handlebar with thumb throttle, carb and most of the wiring harness with cdi. only other thing found in the shed was the seat.
    motor does kick over and feels like its got compression.
    why did I buy it? no idea. got it for $100 probably over paid but its only money right? jim

    When I read the title I thought my wife had signed up and started a thread.

    I looked at one today, ad said good condition. I show up and it was a bent frame, flat rear tires and some broken rear fenders. All for $250!! I left it, you didn't do bad!

    I know this is too far gone to be worth putting back together. But, I've got seat brackets, 185 hubs and rims, a mystery at gas tank, coil, switch. I know there's a head pipe in the box of parts, not sure if it's a 200x or 185s pipe.
    I bought 2 complete 85 200x's last summer, got titles,.fixed the brakes etc, then sold them both because of bad knee, now here I am wanting to bring another one back from the dead. I do have a 185 or 200s motor in the shed, maybe turn it into a autox?

    so looking at the pile of parts, I'm thinking about bolting the motor in and see if it fires up. If it does I'm thinking of collecting parts to make it rideable.
    So how far gone have you guys brought a trike back from the dead? jim

    on my 200x motor in a 185 thread, there's a pic of my new $60 185s that now runs. so a buddy at work asks if I had any 3 wheelers for sale, his cousin is starting to flip them. I show him the 185s and tell him $200. I've got new seat cover, brake levers, plug, tire on the way, I was keeping the tire. By the time I get home, I go out to look at the poor trike and call him back, told him I decided to keep it.
    But I told him I have the 200x frame, new seat cover, seat, seat brackets, old 185 bottom end for $150. so I made some room and got my $$$ back. plus threw in a compete 350 Chevy. jim
