    200x motor in a 185s?

    okay, just dragged home another sad derelict orphan. 81 185s. Trans shifts thru the gears but motor is stuck! got tyranny fluid in the cylinder right now , but if it doesn't break free, I've got a complete 85 200x motor from the project I picked up last week.
    will the 200x motor fit in the 185s frame? got it for $60. I think I might have a spare 185 motor, but just trying to see what my options are. thx jimClick image for larger version.

    Yes I believe it will. I'm not sure what modifications need to be made but I don't think it's much.

    That useable seat pan is probably the most valuable part on it.

    I've had this extra seat pan in the shed for years, I think they're the same. if so maybe it would make good trading material. jim

    well the Honda gods smiled down on me. took the recoil off, used a socket and ratchet to turn the motor over. cylinder was filled with trans fluid last night, stuck a used plug in it and it fired right up!
    now to order a new plug, brake levers, maybe a seat cover and a tire or 3. jim

    new tire came in this afternoon, got it installed, new brake lever and spark plugs. And it wouldn't start. jiggled the wire to the coil and it runs again. must have knocked it changing the tires. waiting for the seat cover, left brake lever and fix the headlight mount. got a tail light off a 200x, going to fab a mount for it.
    took it around the alley, forgot how much more get up and go these have compared to a 110.
    turns out the spare seat pan I had was a 185s pan. its got a he rjsted thru in the middle, but I'm probably going to use it and keep the good pan dry in the shed. jim

    Simple, low maintenance, easy to load into even the smallest pickup bed, and fun to just putt around. It's hard to beat the 185S for an adult sized, fun trike, if just wanting to keep something for occasional riding without $$$ sitting around between.
