Hey everyone
New to site and still reading lots and learning lots . A lot of good info on here.
I just picked up my first trike this year 250sx with a big red front end on it. I have since bought all the parts to convert back over to the proper front end.
It can be a real pain when you eBay it up with the prices on there. Just wondering if there's any swap meets around southern ontario coming up? I'd like to buy another parts bike.
Cheers

Not sure about Ontario, but British Columbia is pretty dry for trikes and parts. I generally have to go through ebay.

Welcome to the forum. Considering how popular the 200x front end swap is to do to the 250sx, you may get lucky, and find somebody willing to sell you their ol sx front end for cheap. Just a thought.....

I will keep that in mind. I didn't know the 200x would fit. I already bought the sx forks. But the 200x looks better and has better breaking system.
Any ideas for exhaust systems? Should I just keep if stock?
Cheers

Yes we have craiglist, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I haven't Seen one listed on it. Kijiji.ca on the other Hand seems to have a lot over in Quebec and ontario

Welcome to the board. Finding items on ebay or CL are what I call the "favor of the month", none for awhile then then flooded with several. Keep lurking and looking.

I keep creeping sites and eBay seems to be a little pricey but still seems to offer more. CL doesn't seem to work and I find very little on there.
How ever kijiji has been great. I've found 2 other people from one ad I posted looking for parts. The other people have don't even bother to post and they were easy to deal with.
I'm still kicking my self in the pants:wondering
I was in Michigan in August at a nascar race and spotted a few atc out front of this guys house. He had a 200x with the motor in a box everything was there for 150. Tank was good but the problem was at the boarder.
Wasn't sure if I was able to bring it back. I wasn't going to be held up towing a trailer and waiting a few more hours to cross
