Hey everyone,


I just bought a 84 200s with and extra engine and 3 extra tires and rims for $425. The bike is in pretty good shape and appears to be 100% intact, about 90% of the bolts however are finger tight, kinda scary the guy who sold it to me said his kids rode it around in the back yard.

Anyway I plan on turning it into a 2 wheeled fatcat hunting trail rig. The plan so far is..... use a jackshaft on the rear of the frame to move the drive gear over and also use it as the suspension pivot point. After hours of searching I have come up with using #50 industrial keyed gears and #530 motorcycle chain. A 4x4 go kart hub and a 8x8 4-100 yamaha blaster rim attached to a 1" keyed shaft. The goal is 100% reliability since we plan on doing some 40-50 mile camping trips.
