I'm looking for an aftermarket lockout hub. Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure I saw these on some Kawasaki trikes. From my understanding, it would allow the wheel with the lockout hub to freewheel. Does anyone make an aftermarket product like this? I would like to install one of these on both of my trikes, if anyone makes such a unit, since I can legally ride on the town roads where I live. Yes, I understand that would be losing the stopping power from one rear tire, but I'm not going to be doing anything stupid with it.

I have a 1983 Yamaha YTM200K Yamahauler and a 1983 Honda ATC200E Big Red.

Thanks in advance for any replies. By the way, I'm not afraid of a diy project if anyone wants to share their own design with me.

Yea those kawi's with that feature was cool..we'd unlock the rear and do sick donuts till wanted to barf!!...Ive seen a few others here inquire about the same thing...other than using a rear from a kawi and adapting it or as Doug Domoko's the wheelie king did he used a lawnmower rearend on his 200s and then made turning brakes activated by which way the forks were pointed....so theres an idea...good luck!

Don't quote me, But I am pretty sure there is no way to remove the live axle on the 83 200e and put a limited slip on it. As the 200e is a solid axle and does not have a differential. I know the Kawi Had a differential which you could lock or unlock the locker in it. As for the yamaha, I know nothing about it. You would want a 84 200es if you where going to do something about this.
