First let me welcome you to the list. On the front page of the 3wheelerworld.com site is a link to decode your vin number to get your model year. Hopefully you still have the vin plate on the fork tube. And I beleave the 185 is the same shift pattern as my 200, neutral is all the way up and 5 down. But don't quote me on that one. Again, welcome and just ask away, a lot of great folks here. Lot of the are off at trikefest in Indiana so the site is a little quieter than normal. Maybe next year ill plan to attend as well.
