My 180 dollar Craigslist big red

[rabid]

I decided last year i wanted another three wheeler, I sold my 185s a few years ago to help get a truck. I came across this one on craigslist, they wanted 250, but i got it for 180.00 i figured if everything was shot the parts were worth it (lol everything ended up being shot but i really liked the trike so i went on with it ) It came with a 200m frame, 200m engine, a bucket of parts and of course the 1984 big red 200es. The rings were gone, the front fork bearings were gone, the front forks were shot, the cam and head was ate up, the clutches were shot. With the extra 200m engine my friend swapped the clutches and i bought whatever else it needed. I still have a ways to go, i need the headlight a 200x carb and a few other misc things. I also put in a xl200r cam. It revs alot quicker than my friends 200. I have a few things that need to be worked out, it has new rings but it still smokes my compression test read out 130-135 so i will try replacing valve seals. The back tires are a little too large but they are basically new Dirt devil ats so they have plenty of grip
