2012 Honda XLE 200 dual sport build, its pretty much done!

[hawaiirider]

Finally decided to post my 200x dual sport now that the police decided i can ride it on the road again, whew....

Ive been building this 200x styled trike for a few years now, aside from the rear shock being wierd and a carb issue when wheelied its complete:

This is its 3rd lifecycle as i kept altering the frame/motor

Titled/inspected by dmv in 2012:

Has xl200r/200x frames welded together, its 95% 200x frame now, powdercoated sparkle blue

Handbuilt chromoly swinger matched to trx450r rear end, 83 250r rear shock, no linkage

1983 250r front end, soon to be widend to fit a 82 model wheel and tire, is in process right now.

86 200x plastics, w clarke desert gas tank (clear)

1983 atc 200e motor, electirc start, low range, dg carb, dg pipe, webcam topend cam, wiseco 12.1 piston, ported, uni filter, titanium springs.

set of sand tires, off road tires, and street tires for it all on douglas wheels

Its been a good bike,
does almost 70mph pinned, climbs banshee hill and sidewinder no problem, i bet itd do widowmaker on perfect sand conditions.
handles absolutely amazing i can let newbies ride it, its that stable. rides ok on street not great, not going to lie...
jumps ok the 250r shock is stiff at first then soft (backwards?) the stock 200x shock it jumped amazing but was overly stiff and sat too low.

This is my one and only ride, i love it and its super reliable but id trade it for a chain driven harley any day.

more pics will come, vids too i have alot! this pic is the bike as it sits today, ill post the evolution.
