Short ride video of my hybrid 200x

[HaggLE]

Really wasn't expecting any cred coming for the 185, it's nickname is haggletron 2. The beauty of using the xl185 bike frame is the engine bolts straight in.
Gotta credit mart for the fabricating though

You bet Mart! KARMA does come around and that's when even if possessions are lost, the thief has his bad day.........

Too bad you didn't know to run barbed razor wire around your storage. No one can buy or ride that without someone seeing it.

The good guys always get the bad end of the deal!!

We all love seeing your projects!!

Yep they'll get what's coming to them mate.like I said all it needs to be is sold a couple of times then it'll resurface even if its painted, trashed, flogged, burnt, Whatever its still identifiable disregarding plastics, seat, axle, and tires nothing on that trike was stock or will fit anything. I remember every single nut and bolt on it like the back of my hand.

why did the big 4 not make this bike!!?? that thing is awesome, and so is your 185! i did the same type of thing with my 200x, used a xl200 frame

Not sure why they didn't make a 125 mate would've been nice I guess.They would've sold like hot cakes I reckon.
The 185 isn't mine I just help with some of the welding etc.We are doing heaps of changes to it very shortly so we will do a thread on it.She goes really well very torquey and its getting fresh paint fresh rear guard new head stock angle different rear shock.should be good fun we love changing stuff lol

that 185 frame looks like my x.200's did with no lower engine cradle, i took a 200x cradle and welded it in after i realized id break it jumping. that gave me a adjustable swingarm lenght/more chain adjustment too.
i built a swingarm one off and my mount looks exactly like yours, yours doesnt work well?

cool sounds good mate,We haven't had any strength issues as off yet this bike doesn't get jumped only ridden around on the dunes etc.we beat the adjustment issue by using the 250r rear carrier in the swingarm so it has the eccentric adjuster.everything works fine its just the shock is blown at the moment and we had to have the trike built high as it is due to a knee injury but I went with not enough rake in the headstock so we are going to fix that issue and I have 250r shocks laying around so it may end up with a linkage system see what time brings.

yeh deuce shes deff a screamer lol
