the 350 is way too big but the bigest problem is just getting everyting to fit the carb will have to go through the rear shock from what ive heard thats the bigest problem

Here ya go, just put a 500 motor in it. That is a 83-84 200x and the frame has been extended, but I'm sure anythings possible. Wonder where that trike is today?

86/87 200X's are nothing more than Mini 350X's without Oil Coolers. ANything is possible.....but is anything worth it? :?:

It wouldnt be worth it, Just go out and buy a 350X......by the end you would have had enough money to buy maybe 2 350x's.

It would take some work, but it could be done. The 86 chassis is much more well suited to a bigger engine, but still would need some significant mods.

Why would you want to, the 200x is poorly suspended you would just have a 350x with no suspension just get a 350x frame.

Maybe some conversions are a waste of time and money, but who knows maybe this guy has a free 350X motor available and a 200X chassis he aquired cheap. Maybe he has basic cutting, mount fabrication and mig welding skills that will get most of the work done. It doesn't have to cost a fortune.
Like the Blaster motor in a 200X question I asked. There is one near me I can get cheap but doesn't run. And if you look around, there are a boatload of Blaster motors out there. I think that would be a totally trick set up!

About ten years ago a guy that used to have a Motorcycle/ATV/Snowmobile repair shop around here had just finished one when I stopped in to pick up a buddy's sled. He said it fit pretty well. My question is why not look for a 350x frame to put the 350x motor in, there is really no advantage that I can see to putting theat motor in a 200X frame but maybe I am missing something here.
