Help with a mystery Honda and an ATC 200E

[ailll1]

Thats what i'm thinking too because of the tanks decals and rear fenders.

Hard to say from the fenders but the gas tank and the headlight doesnt lie.
That front fender looks like a 250ES fender
Maybe has a front end swap?

Yeah boys, Tape got his name from the massive amount of Electrical tape used to hold his back fenders on. I actually think someone has screwed with the back fenders...not so much the front. The back ones are not only cracked up and covered in tape, they also have a strange texture. I'll take a close up tomorrow. It looks like someone tried painting them or something.

it looks to me like a 84 200s. the tank decals are the same as my 84 atc110 and so does the front fender. (different tank shape though). i am almost certain that the front fender is atc110 or 125m. it would have to be rigged though because the 110 and 200s fender mounts differently.( i have an 85 200s and 84 atc110 and atc200es)

These pictures could be proof of Tapes fenders being switched about. The front one has a ton of holes around where it is attached to the front. And the back fender has some weird texture going on. I know someone painted some parts of it. This could be from the tape being taken off and leaving some goo that hardened or paint.

could you take a pic of the top of the frame with the seat off I can tell you if the fenders I have will fit, its either a 185 or a 200 I have fenders for both.

the front forks look like the front forks on my 1984 200es big red

[RubieLee]

RiJiD-WILL, I'll get you a pic as soon as my dad feels good enough to go out to the shed and take one. I assumed this trike was a 185 since I also have a 200 and this one is a bit smaller than my big red.

This is an old thread, before I thought it might be a certain model, but now I'm fairly sure that this trike is a compilation of a bunch of different parts...so RDH/86200X, it wouldnt surprise me if the front forks were different. With original wheels the trike sits kind of uphill in the front.

I thought they made the 185s and 200 in 1983. My bike says 1983 on the sticker on the frame and its a std 200.

i found this post and it looks like the same. i didn,t know how to copy it so i hope i did it right. its suppossed to have a pic.

hey, theres a sticker on the riders right side of the head tube that says the modle no. and year manufactured...

[RubieLee]

No. There is no sticker on it. That is why I'm on here asking

[mi500]

oppisite side of the sticker there should be some numbers stamped into the steering stem but they might be rusty and hard to see. the engine size is pretty easy to see tho, just look on the base of the cylinder at the back under the carb its pretty easy to see if you look on the side oppisite of the exhaust. i was told mine was a 185 but i happened to look at that when i got it home and was plesantly supprised to see 192 stamped back there. once i realized that the vin was stamped on the oppisite side of the steering stem of the sticker that was mostly gone i was able to run it and it came back as a 200. i was happy to find out it was at least mostly stock.

I have a 192 Big Red. Thats how I know I've got a 185 thats got a 192 motor in it. The frame has been resurfaced or re done or something. The fenders are homemade. But thanks for the suggestions. I'll look some more.
