Gidday from kiwi land.

:beer Awesome site you've got going here dudes.
I first came in contact with the mighty trike when asked to remove an old ATC 200Es that had been dumped over a bank & was leaking petrol & oil into a friends garden. I dragged it out with my truck, threw it in the garage & never touched it for another year or more. Then the day came that the garage had to be cleaned out so I put some fuel in the beast, yanked the pull start twice & the bloody thing burst into life. I was gob smacked!! I then brought another ES off an auction site dirt cheap for parts. Then I spotted a 200x which has joined the fleet.
So from doing a favour for a friend by getting rid of an old piece of junk, I'm now busting to get the three trikes sorted out & do some riding in our rapidly approaching summer along with some trout fishing in our amazing outdoors.
I'm currently recovering from a broken shoulder blade after coming a big gutser on a back country ride when I hit some ice on a bridge. Luckily my trusty 09 DRZ 400E only suffered a busted clutch cable & cosmetic scratches more than can be said for my ageing 48 year old carcass.
I will make sure I post some pics of the trike trio.
One question I do have is about the 200x. The frame number is JH3TB0522EK307 which when I checked on your site said the trike was a 1984 200x. The engine number beside the front sprocket is MD10E-5000800 which doesn't seem to line up with anything. Can any of you gurus out there shine some light on this for me?
Thanks guys :wondering:confused::lol:

welcome to the forum
the engine number will not match the the frame number if thats what your asking!!

[jb2wheels]

Welcome to the madness. It always starts with one. They multiply like rabbits - especially the 70s for some reason.

Can't tell you anything about the EIN.

[Corey Antrevor]

Thanks. I realise the engine number wont match the frame number but the engine number doesn't match any of the 200x range of engine numbers or any Honda engine numbers I have searched all over the web.

[Corey Antrevor]

Thanks. My other half has mentioned the multiplication factor a number of times with phrases like "how are you going to ride 3 trikes as well as the DRZ"???? I daren't mention the quantity of her shoes stacked in the cupboards........

[jb2wheels]

Clearly a wise man!

That EIN is weird.

[jakep53]

got some pics of the engine and engine number?

[DohcBikes]

Welcome. Engine pics please!

kiaora!! nice to have you aboard!!

[YTZ drew]

Welcome aboard! I know I have the engine ID number information here somewhere... I'll find it and post back when I do.

[Keepah Rolln]

Welcome to the site..

[YTZ drew]

OK, my info was less detailed than I remembered, but here's what I know. All the 200x engine #'s start with TB05, Xr185's start with ME, XL185's start with MD or L185- depending on year, XL200's start MD06, so it sounds like you might have some cases from some sort of XL bike engine.

[Corey Antrevor]

Well done with the Kaiora but not to sure about Cartmans arse :w00t: It's good to feel welcome & to be among the trikeminded. Just having a bit of bother getting pics done on the 200x engine at the moment as I am trying to get my garage / home workshop organised so I can actually get some work done on the trikes. Getting parts away over here can be costly business as we don't have the population & with Aussie being our nearest bigger neighbour they are not that much bigger or cheaper to ship from than the states.
I did manage to score a bucket load of ATC parts at a swap meet on Sunday. $20 for a wiring harness including ignition, headlight, CDI unit & all the left handle bar switchgear.
Ka kite ano (see you again)
