200x hub swap and something on the side!

[f76]

I recently purchased/traded an 85 200x in good shape for a basket case money hole 84 250r and blue point tool cart. 200x came with DG exhaust, extra great shape fuel tank, complete gasket set, new clutch fibers, pro taper bars, and a Goki electric start installed! I hadn't seen a 200x with Goki on it so I was pumped for that. Anyways one downfall was the two giant ugly trail pro tires on the back... well used (how is that possible right?) and out of roundness so they caused the whole trike to shake at higher speeds. read about the trx 250/300/400/450r hub swap so I decided to give it a try. Mr.Clean sold me a great set of hubs for a great price, special thanks to Mr.Clean! Craigslist provided a set of wheels off a 300ex with half tread ohtsu h-trak tires mounted on for a nice price. bolted everything on and best upgrade I made to it so far. The speed shake is gone, handles great, and the lighter tires do make a difference for agility and performance. Before with the stock 200x hubs and 22-11-8 trail pros the rear width was 43", after the trx hubs and 300ex wheels it sits at nearly 46". Here are some pictures next to the 350x with +4" durablue axle. Oh and my high performance insect fogger.





Anyone know if that is the stock kick start lever? It is severely worn out and flops around while riding. Good news is the electric start works, just need a battery. Anyone happen to know what group size battery fits in the box by chance?

looks like a stock kick starter to me. alot of times the base will crack on them, or split open causing the slopppiness. or the bb thats in there is stuck, and wont allow it to lock into its channeled positions
