I am new here and to 3-wheelers in general. I took some pics of my two running ones, i just picked up a big red 200m yesterday. I've put a bit of work into the Yamaha already, replaced alot of missing peices, she is pretty much a complete unit now. Runs awesome, dont think its ever been rebuilt either. Only things left to do on the yamaha is get the lights working, i cant see that being to hard.

this one i like to call Frank'n'trike. It seems to be put together with all sorts of different honda's. With a whole lot of redneck engineering. It looks like complete crap but runs like a top, it has alot of power. Starts first pull everytime, haven't used the choke yet. Brakes were non existant on this thing when i got it, i got the rears working half assed now though. I've been using it for hill climbing and plan to use it in the mud when i figure out the chain tensioner, or lack there of, lol. When i got it, it was in far far worse shape than pictured. And the front shocks work awesome. next step is to get all that horrible spraybomb off it, and get some decent plastics. lol, and the grab bar i have gotten so dependent on.

Ya i have a couple of those stickers still, I liked it there so i stuck it. Ya that HONDA wrote on the side of the tank, makes her a hellfire hillclimbin' redneck machine i tell ya. It does climb like a beast though. I was going to get a chain cover for her, i dont like the idea of mud, branches, sticks, midgets and other things jamming in there. I like the way the honda is, it makes me not scared to hurt it. If my climb goes bad i just jump off and let gravity do the hard work for me, lol. And if (when) it does die i got a good running parts bike, mostly.

and i noticed the spacers as well, being new to this. i dont really know much about why in the sam hell its like that. Nor what i can do to fix it, lol. Heck i dont even know if i care enough to fix it. i will take more pics tonight of the real redneck engineering on this thing and maybe a vid of it running. can anyone point me in a good direction for some steering tires for these machines? 25x12x9 i think? i would much much perfer local to me, but beggars cant be choosers.... thanx guys

Your yam looks great and the honda is just a beast. I do not run chain covers on either my 200m or 185s, if i blow a chain on the trail i dont want to have to take half the thing apart trail side just to fix it......... And you should keep a midget tucked away in there, he can pull the rope for ya when your arm is tired. Oh ya i love the studded frt tireshens
