Bought this 83 200x w a xr 350 radial twin carb motor in it, very clean built not a garage build for sure. Who made it? Says west coast on swingarm was told it was used for racing. Currently torn down for restoration.

I see 83-84 250r plastic tank on it. Why ask is what it is, it's a cobbled assortment of parts to make a toy no different then today's leta use what we have builds. Xr350 bike motor of its time...a turd by today's standards

[hawaiirider]

Not true. Mickey Dunlap races one like this and Honda prototyped these as well is the info I found so far. The radial motor rips! Not looking for negativity looking for the history on these pre 350x race trike

[HairyJR]

Nice tease, now let us see the rest of the pic's taken before disassembly. I think Powroll built Mickey's XR350 trike, also think he said it ran hot.

It's NOT Mickey Dunlaps but was machined by a professional. Previous owner said it was raced in early 1980s

Yes I would like to the pictures is ya don't mind!!!! What I see isn't a "cobbled mess".............Ol Deuce

You should send a couple pictures to Dunlap. He might know who built and / or raced it. Seems like it was built from the same blueprint as his. Nice score!!

Looks like an amateur level built race bike to me. In that case absolutely ask Mickey.

Definitely not built by a amateur, excellent machining and high dollar parts used. I think most amateurs would put a pipe and cam in to race not pull the motor out of a expensive new dirtbike

Don’t pay any attention to “The Douche” he’s just a troll looking for attention. I think you have a sweet piece of retro history honestly. If you look at dunlaps Proto type atc thread it’s almost identical. Fenders engine tank even the chain tensioner. If you do a tear down and restore please do a thread.

Little does Shawnyourknees Powell know, Dan knows who I am because I helped him on a few projects when people here were being arrogant as usual. Run along Mickey Jr.

Hey Dan. It's Damon AKA DohcBikes. Just bustin some chops.

Mickey sucks.

Good to hear from you, you think this is a powroll or west coast built trike? The rear tires are unbranded 247357

[hawaiirider]

Glad to see ya still trikin. Can you tell us anything more about what the guy said? Post a bunch of pics of the parts would ya? You said it was tore down at the moment?

Owner said it was tt racer and parked in 1987. He was very old and had got it from his sons friend or something.247358247359

[hawaiirider]

All original, for tt it would hold spacers fine. Just spoke w Dunlap, he said the rear tires were a prototype he tested

[hawaiirider]

Just spoke w Dunlap again on FB he said his was a one off prototype so someone must have liked his ride and just tried to copy the design. Must have been a team that built it as well machined as it is

I think it's a conspiracy. Perhaps I should start a thread in the open forum and ask about it. :lol:

I'll support you Barns. You've paid your dues, time for a Star (Stars are so last month anyway) and a probationary edit button.

[hawaiirider]

Alright boys thanks for helping, I know now it was a privateer bike not dunlaps. I'll finish restoring it and put it on eBay the kids want to go to Disney so it's got to go
