New to me 200s

Well she isn't any garage queen, but it runs and that is 100% better than most I bring home.
Plastics on the rear are trashed and Franken-mended on one side. Probably going to get new plastics in the spring.

It does keep idle high and only slowly comes down. Thinking new cable and carb rebuild.
I'm assuming that the original carb and rebuild is better than those cheap carbs on eBay?

The tank is PERFECT inside no rust at all.

I was surprised at how quick it was even with my fat butt on it. This will be going to PA for riding this summer.

I just bought a 200s with the high compression piston in it, it smokes my stock ones. What a difference. But there all fun

If you get new plastic would you want to get rid of the old?

[Dirtweed]

This one is getting torn down Saturday and ready for a full powder coat and ordering all the parts I need to make it new again for riding this summer. My brother has his torn down already for the full treatment. I might have a fully functional trike and could go to Trikefest this year. :cool:

The other side it all cracked and Frankenstein stitched together. Not worth saving.

Dirt weed I just picked one of these up rode the hell out of it last Sunday.

Hhhmmm...Plastic such a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotr ailpro to get...

Tore down and headed for powder tomorrow. Found that the tank has a repair on the bottom so no blasting for it. Darn.
Going to have to get it painted and then coat the inside. Got my brothers 200s and nephews '85 Tecate to take in as well.

Can’t wait for the Pics...

[Dirtweed]

Well this one is moving along well. Got all the parts and three frames back from the powder coater. Just need to get them my skid plate as I found a much better one.
Front rim is going to be here soon so nice new shiny rims all the around. Should start the build in a couple weeks. Even got the nephews Tecate frame
and parts back.

Cool. Looking forward to seeing pics of it when it is finished.

My Brother got his rolling tonight. I'm off to SLC this week, but will work on mine in two weekends.

Also got my front wheel from Tim today. Tires will be on next week.
