Three bike barn find

[Newbee]

Hello all I'm new here. I bought a 200m, 200s, and 200es a few days ago parts seem a pain to find and some priced beyond belief. Is a recoil starter assembly really worth $200 to $500 for a 200s? It was missing when I bought the bike but heck this might become a donor bike because I can't justify that for a simple lawn mower recoil lol. Besides plastics is there anything else over priced I'll have to watch out for that you guys know of for these?

Yeah, prices for recoils are outrages. Just hold out until you find a cheaper one. I wouldn't pay more than $100 for one. I can only think of two other things that are highly over priced for a 200s the seat pan, and the exhaust. Cool find BTW. Can you post some other pics of the trikes?

More pics.

Just have patience. I'm assuming your prices came from eBay. If you wait, a reasonable one will come along. 200-500 is crazy unless it's NOS.

I just walked into work and was informed of another sitting in the barn of a coworkers family member they want gone. Unknown year and model but might get whole trike for $100. He said he thinks it's a 200E.
I'll post more pics. Took the 200ES strait to my buddies shop. It's got high low and reverse so that's my main project to start on. Got the 200m fired up but it's seen better days so placing it on back burner for now. The drive sprocket wore and popped the chain. Taking out chain cover and other items. Installed sprocket and chain but not wanting to test ride with a busted rear break assembly and no chain guard. It does go thru the gears and needs some carb work.
200s is missing recoil head lamp has minor plastic damage and 2 rear flats. That I know so far.
200 ES has newer carb was rolled so handle bars bent (not in pics) bent front rack and rear rack was almost ripped off. The CDI and coil was removed. Aparrantly last owner was going to try fixing the S with the parts. He did give them to me on pick up and has a front fender for me as well. I received a 185 tank as a spare as well.
Oh and he tossed in a 2007 tomos peddle style moped in the deal lol (none running)
