ATC110 exhaust options and tire options

[dz]

Well, I picked up a nice 1985 Honda ATC110 with the optional rear rack and optional rear hitch assembly. Both rear tires are different (one soft tire and one hard tire makes for a very not so fun ride) and the front tire is severely dry rotted. I love the 110's (have three of them and one apart) but am a bit on the heavy side. This is the nicest one I have, and I was wondering what exhaust options I have (I know of DG and Cobra), not really fond of the cobra but I don't know how loud the DG is if it will be too obnoxious? I'm a bit on the heavy side and was looking just to get a little extra help outside of going to a bigger trike (the 110's are sooo much fun to ride). Which brings me to the tires, what are the best options I have for the squishy type tires or suspension type tires rather than the hard walled ones. I'm gonna get that ebay carb. I talked about before which is slightly bigger than stock so that may help a bit, I'm by no means trying to build a dragster LOL. And, here are some pics of her!

Those tires look way overinflated to me. Check the sidewall for recommended pressures which should be somewhere around 6-8psi. Overinflated tires would explain the hard ride. Cheng Shin tires always have worked well for me when it comes to a stock appearing replacemt tire and they still have the soft sidewalls for that soft cushy ride you are missing. If you really are looking for a soft cushy ride, you may want to try something with suspension. The 200e big red is a nice ride compared to a hardtail. You could always try to find yourself a suspension framed kit on a hardtail. A major step up in fun and comfort. And if you really aren't trying to ride the bike really hard, it can give you many years of a nice soft really cushy ride. You could even go as far as purchasing a rear shock custom tailored to your size and weight. I'm around 250 myself and really enjoy the ride over a hardtail. And then you have the added benefit of having something not everyone else has. There was a 200s frame with a weld on suspension kit on it on ebay. It would be a good start to a nice unique trike. Also you may want to look into adding a suspension front end to your trike which would go a ways to help cushion your ride. Do a search on here, but I would believe a suspension front end off a 185s or 200s would be a direct bolt on and also give you the benefit of a front brake. And they are usually not very expensive used.
