[84honda200s]

nice man you got allot done.

[threewheelin-feelin]

nice job i bet that budwieser is helping the time go by;) man i sure wish i had a lighted garage to work on my bikes in:cry:

[maggiesboy]

nice work, keep the pictures coming

[gizmo_22]

lol thx guys... lighted garage = buy a cheap halogen flood lamp... get an old fan and some copper pipe to make a stand for it... tadaa 500w of working light :D

[honda250sx]

Picture of the spray bombs with the buds is great. Sums up many an evening! Looking good, keep em coming

[GoodKarma]

Wow, all that work and only 3 beers? You're a much stronger person than I am, 'cause I would have had to have 2 or 3 times that to get that much work done!:beer

[toocheaptosmoke]

looks good! like the flames on the cardboard :beer

[gizmo_22]

lol was messing with a really cheap airbrush... was going to do gold ghost flames on my green dressers but the thing sucked no control of the spray at all.... i love the spray bomb handle... works mint.. only reason tho is i couldnt find any black rust paint locally for my spray gun... have a small compressor and 2 paint guns but no body had any single stage black paint...they were all sold out, so spray bombs it became... as for 3 beers , thats only whats on the table heeheh the 24 was bout 1/3rd gone at that point... what im gonna do next time is take my laptop out and try to get a wireless connection so i can stream music out there... no radio anymore :( hell maybe even set up a webcam feed so its like shop cam hehehe ya i know im aalmost done the 24 so my typing isnt the best.. Thanks for the compliments guys... oh 2 more things... stupid question... if i change the main jet in the carb, do i need to change the needle 2? i want to swap to a 105 main when the exhaust comes in.. and i might have scored another 185s/200m... not sure what havent seen it yet anywhere from 0-100$ non running.. regardless its mine to make a suspended tricke outta :D oh and the 2 pics of the motors are 2 different motors... one with polished cdi cover is the 185 , one with recoil is the new 200 i got for 40$

[toocheaptosmoke]

Cool, I also have been trying to paint flames with my airbrush.($9.99 from Harbor freight :w00t: ) Those spray bomb handles are sweet, keeps your finger from cramping up, lol. Ever put the nozzle off carb cleaner on your paint cans? Really throws the paint for those big jobs :naughty:

[gizmo_22]

i dont care for it... causes too many runs in the paint... im used to the fan type spray from school as a collision repair guy (body man) so i prefer the fan rather then the round spray

[gizmo_22]

well some more progress since it was warm out today... cleaned all the crud off of the motor and gave it some high temp paint base is just aluminum and the cylinder and head are flat black and im going to polish the ends of the fins like the 350x's. The jeep is my moms new toy, its just a 4 banger, but its still a jeep she says and the rhino is the "retirement buggy" its sitting on its tracks right now and the thing works good.. the silver cavalier is my old beater, got it with 67000kms 2 years ago, now has 167000 and is on trans #3 and motor rebuild #1 and god knows how many axles and tires.. lol and the last 2 pics are my el-cheapo toy hauler a 1991 gmc 2500 not bad for 5 bills eh :P as always lets hear the comments guys

[honda_atc200es]

nice job i bet that budwieser is helping the time go by;) man i sure wish i had a lighted garage to work on my bikes in:cry:

ya man you and me both, i got one lousy light

[84honda200s]

nice toys gizmo. that is a heafty looking truck. im hoping to get my trike up and going this weekend. it depends on when honda decides to send my recoil parts out. i bought a oem recoil rebuil in hopes it will last longer than the stupid after market ones.

[Liquid-Darkness]

Nice trike.

[gizmo_22]

im getting anxious to see it all together again, but i need to fix some holes in the frame... then finish painting everything, i wish the pics of my motor turned out better tho... cam doesnt do it justice at all

[ceaserthethird]

Looking Good !

Keep it up

[gizmo_22]

well some more small progress, got some better pics of the motor and had to do a mockup...tunes were courtesy of my laptop by the window lol im surprised i got a signal

[honda_atc200es]

i have to say that is the best looking small engine i have ever seen cant wait to see it together

[toocheaptosmoke]

now this is how you haul 3 wheeler parts out of the elements :D

http://jkscott1.googlepages.com/img_0086.jpg


What! No seatbelt!? :lol:

[honda_atc200es]

What! No seatbelt!? :lol:

hahahahahaha ya man you have to protect the precious cargo

[gizmo_22]

lol thats why its in the cab :P and who can hurt 3/4 tons of fun let alone the stuff in it hehehe

[Vealmonkey]

damn dude, you have got to resize those pictures, you drive my dial up crazy! It only takes a few minutes to resize. I know the mods got on people for using big pics in their signatures. Give us people on dialup a break. I can't have all the fancy electronics and 3 wheelers too. LOL

[gizmo_22]

lol i did resize them all to 800x600 stock size is in the 2400x1800 range... ill start posting @ 640x480 and link to another site with the big ones....

[Vealmonkey]

Thanks for your symapthy for the computerly challanged.

[gizmo_22]

lol not a prob man , i do remember dialup... still have to use it from time to time as well

[Vealmonkey]

Now someone needs to repop the suspension kits and you'd be in business. Suspension on the 185s\200s is very cool. And easy on the ladies with no clutch. You just have to remind your drunk buddies to down shift.

[gizmo_22]

a friend is trying to get me a 200 something or other that will get choped for the suspension version or when this frame dies it gets choped ... hehhe

[gizmo_22]

well its alive :D going for a test and tune now :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[Mr. Clean]

Sweet, great job!!! You finished that thing quickly. My Uncles 185s was my first ride and what I learned to ride on in the Oregon dunes.

[gizmo_22]

its running ok for the time being, its jetted too rich at the moment and likes to load up with fuel if left idleing , other then that its amazing how much more power this has over the stock 185 , i still need to get my forks straightened and maybe shoot some paint but its a driver for now... might have scored a complete 200x motor for my other project bike :D not sure if i can get it yet though. might be riding next sat so there will be a new pic thread for sure... thanks for all the awsome comments guys

[3Wheelers4Life]

looks nice little imperfections but theres always something to fix on bikes but at least its something to ride

[gizmo_22]

ya well it wasnt a restoration, just a cleaning basically once i get another running trike then this one gets restored

[3Wheelers4Life]

yea well its better then nothing i hate being with out something to ride so if i sell one i try to get one as soon as i can i love riding dont we all?

[gizmo_22]

for sure man

[Bigred200]

looks good man!!!!!!!!!! what did you paint the motor with?

[gizmo_22]

high temp engine enamel, seems to be holding it out ok, havent gone on a long ride tho
