and another 185 is coming home.

[Jim mac]

don't need it, but that's the best kind. Another 185s project. pics will be posted this weekend. I was going to put my extra parts on a 200s frame sitting in the yard, but I don't have a rear fender or a seat pan for a 200s. So I'll make another complete 185s, put the fenders back on the beater 185s and have 4 fairly complete 185s and maybe make a stripped down 200s, just a frame, seat and tank type beater trike. jim

1982 185s. motor spins, has compression. 200s front end? jim

It may be a 1983 185S front end too since they had front suspension. Lumber prices are pretty high right now. That's just so you'll be forewarned when you start wanting to add on to your garage so you will have a place to keep all of your new trikes.

I checked the vin number, came back as a 82, the motor is a 200s motor, maybe tje front end came from the same trike? I've got a 85 200s frame with a nice front end I'll probably swap over. I was missing the front axle which this front end has. I'm missing some of the engine mounting bolts, a few engine bolts, carb, pull start thumb throttle and cdi, front and rear fender. got all that covered.
And yes, room is really tight. 2 trikes are now sitting covered in the side yard, this will be there too. got 2 70s under the garage patio. jim

getting quite the collection. I once had 13 all running and legal. It became to much. I recall though having fun swapping things around like you are doing. even made a couple "auto X's" fun times.

I few years ago I had 5 110s and 3 70s. sold a 110 to a guy for 200 bucks and told him he could have the 3 other 110s for 100 bucks, I kept the nicest of the 5. the last 3, tires would hold are for a few minutes, I started all of them and drove them onto his trailer. its sort of getting this way again but with 185s. so far 3 runs, 2 have titles. I boight this because it came as pictured and a extra 200s tank. And it was only 50 bucks. jim

[Jim mac]

stuck a 350x front fender just to see what it looks like.

and I have a pair of weld wheels off my car listed for sale, guy has a 84 200m he wants to trade. It kills me, im really out of room, trying to stick with the 185s platform but another complete trike with front and rear racks is tempting. jim

Jim is getting back in his groove.

Keep at it, strike while the iron is hot.

What's going on there?

[Jim mac]

I noticed that when I got it off the truck.
going to tinker with the 70 first, then I'll get started on this trike next. guy I got my 350x from texted me pics of a 200x sitting at by a buddy's house, trikes been sitting for awhile, he's going to find out if it's for sale jim

[350for350]

well so much for sticking with the 185 platform. That's all right. There's worse things that could get you off track than trikes.

Nice find for the $$$$! I noticed the extra tank in the bed of your truck. Trade the rims for the 200m, if nothing else, use the front forks on something else and put the engine in a 200x frame-auto x with electric start!! Keep rolling Jim!!
