    New Member, new bike! Couple pics

    Hey all, Not really new to 3 wheelers, but its been a while since iv'e been on one. When I was a teen I went through a yamaha bike and my bud had a Big Red. Best thing about the bike is that I could watch as it rolled down the mountain, chase after it, hop back on it and keep on riding! Almost indestructible.

    Today a Honda 185s came up on KSL(Utah's classifieds) for $225. Got him down to $200 It starts on first pull, and the light works! This bike isn't the most pretty thing in the world, but I really don't care. No front brake and no seat.

    Plans: Bigger motor(still researching), front shocks, rear shock setup, and put a seat on it....

    I have a spare 200cc honda that needs a top end rebuild. Auto clutch, 5 speed, out of my tr200

    Your 185s doesn't look bad at all for $200, It runs too!

    Im happy for 200 ha, I was thinkin about a 200cc but I think for the effort of the swap I want something 300cc+. By no means am I a master fabricator, but I can efficiently use a tig and mig welder. I should probably start this project with a different bike because if the added work working with a frame with zero suspension. but this is what I got. Thanks for the offer tho!
