ATC "swap" refrence is a GO, POST YOUR SWAPS!

[BigReds Forever]

Ive noticed there has recently (and for a long time) been a lot of questions about which parts interchange with what. Well, I have alot of time on my hands and would love to volunteer to compile all this info into a nice, usable document. I have quite a bit of the info, and have been compiling posts. I will still need info from all of you guys as well. I plan to have categories for each "receiving" vehicle, and under each trike will be categories such as "axles" "forks" "breaks" ect. Each of those categories would have a list of interchangeable parts listed with the model and year of the "donor" parts. There will also be a column for "bolt on" or "some modification required." Im thinking of making it a pdf so everyone can access it, and it can be well organized and professional looking.
SO, pending poll results, I will begin working on this shortly. I would like you guys to suggest models to include. I was originally planning on just doing the hondas, as i have no other experience with kawi or yami trikes, but if you guys can get me the info, Ill compile it.
Also, this will be a thread to post your CONFIRMED swap parts on, and also discus swap ideas.

I think it was Dirtcrasher who had a very similar idea a couple weeks ago.
He wanted to make a "Trikepedia" kinda like Wikipedia, doing exactly what you stated. Not sure if he's started on it or not though.

For you swap ideas, I can tell you that a 1984 Suzuki PE175 engine will fit in an '83-'85 200X frame, with "some" modification.

Ya, I actually got the idea when i was board last night, and trying to find the mm of 200x forks. Then I found that thread on axles where dirtcrasher was talking about it just a bit ago, and I figured id get some feedback before i started. I love to do graphic design/database/pagemaker type stuff (i know, weird) and just thought Id offer up my services.

[TwoHundredEx]

Well I definitely think it's a good idea, and if your willing to go through with it, and spend some time on it, I say go for it!

[overdressed1]

Fantastic idea. Some of these trike are gettin pretty old and certain parts can be hard to get, especially if you need em quick.
Obviuosly I'd like to see the Yamaha Tri Z on the list.
Good luck with it champ.

[rally4x4racer]

DO IT!! You and dirty need to get together.. Please cite your references if you do it.

Some day we will be organized like the MOB!

[Yamada]

Good idea. Sure I would like the yamaha trike to be included in your "files". I'm sure a lot a people will share their knowledge.

[oldskool83]

i think its a good idea. i know when i get a new toy i request a new denniskirk catologe and go thru eveyr pag and circle the alike part numbers....

this way i can search on ebay and sore things under different models but things are all the same.

did you know a TRX90 clutch plate set is the same as a ATC185/200? yeah!

[BigReds Forever]

cool! thats the kinda sweet stuff id like to have in this book.


SO, start posting your swaps! Heres what I would like included just to make it easy:

-Name of recieving and doner's MAKE, MODEL, & YEAR/YEARS

-Name of the part

-Vender, if applicable for aftermarket (things like exhausts)

-Direct swap, or slight mods..(I know all parts can be made to work with "some mods.") Id like to limit this reference to minimal work such as adding extra washers, small amounts of grinding/sanding/clearancing, things of that nature. Also, if it is a "slight mod," please briefly describe your mod.

-PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR SWAP WORKS! Indicate if this is something you have successfully done yourself, have personaly seen on another's trike, equivalent part numbers, or whatever confirmation you may have.

-Indicate parts number (and source of parts number such as Honda, Manufacturer, Dennis Kirk) If it is needed.

Im excited about this. Its going to be really cool. And don't worry, All contributions as well as 3WW will get their fair share of credit for this.

[Dirtcrasher]

It's something we've needed for awhile. We still have members desperate to find that one part and sometimes there is a perfectly acceptable alternative. Such as the front calipers, many of the CR80 etc are almost a direct swap. Really, whats the point in rebuilding a 22 yo caliper when a caliper just a few years old will work.

I don't know exactly how Wikepedia is set up, I haven't spent much time there. But the fact that PEOPLE can add there own insight to a given subject is superb. I'm not saying an article of sort won't work, but a website dedicated entirely to the ATC community in alphabetized order would be sweet. If you can't easily edit a given subject, your gonna use up allot of ink and paper, lol.... Partially because of false information.

[steven 250sx]

do it and it will help alot of ppl plus solve some issues of posting pointless questions.
p.s. no such thing as a pointless question to me anyway

[ATCT]

i think its a good idea. i know when i get a new toy i request a new denniskirk catologe and go thru eveyr pag and circle the alike part numbers....

Does Dennis Kirk's catalog have part numbers for OEM parts for most 3-wheel and 4-wheel models? If so, that's impressive and something I'd definitely want to see.

But, I do think the swap post is a very good idea. I'm always interested to see what "improved" items might work on what I have.

[BigReds Forever]

DK doesnt give OEM part numbers. They only sell aftermarket stuff as far as i know (except a few oem tires for new models). If you want oem partnumbers, both bike bandit and service honda have the factory microfiltches on their sites.

[jenndnn3]

Oldskool, are the part numbers the same?On the trx90 vs 185?

I have run into this, parts interchange, however #'s do not match.
