    Been seing a lot of 200x threads on here and dot org lately. It's nice seeing people fixing these little trikes up for a change. They usually get beat and left for dead but they are awesome little machines when in good working order. With a little horsepower boost and some gearing changes you can really wake them up too. The stock gearing is horrible even with 22 inch tires. Throw some 18 or 20 inch tires on there and it makes them barely rideable in my opinion. What gearing are you running with those 20's?

    Stock gearing for now. It seems pretty decent to me. If I want to go fast I have my KFX 400 quad lol. Should I go up or down on the front sprocket teeth to make it more like stock gearing?

    Up on the front, down on the back. With 20's I would try 13/38. I used to run 14/37 with 18's and it worked awesome.

    I think it's a great idea, unfortunately, you'd have to use .125 steel or so to keep it's shape. Nothing thin will do the trick and last! OR, someday, mold our own pans from fiberglass with the metal sandwiched between the layers..........

    Yeah it was just an idea the popped into my head. I always look at my seat and it bugs me. Can you remove the cover and foam and put the old cover back on? My seat looks good except for the standard 200X seat bend. Figure thick steel and some strong rivets and it would work real good. If I try it on mine I'll do a thread on it (if it works good).
