Heres my story, 1984 i worked my butt off with my dad all summer he said before school started we would look at buying a atc. We did, the salesman talked my dad into getting an ALT 185. I wanted the racier looking ones but that wasnt gonna happen. During that year i flipped once and im sure ran over my leg 1/2 dozen times. Well about two years later dad brought me to Honda dealer by surprize and took home a 1987 Honda 200x. I sold three years later. Regretted it ever since. Meanwhile got married,house,kids. In 2007 i started buying late model 200x's and parts for them. Still have alt 185 outback hasent been started in 2-years though. I know u guys love pics so you will get some, my bikes are not restored, just gone through and cleaned up. I have a couple small questions/advice i need on a projed started 1-year ago. Its a 1986 honda 200x with trx200x motor. (Really only rear brake pedal placement) very tight fit... Any way thats my story. Ill post some pics when kids go to bed. Ill probably start a thread on trx build on different page.

Suzuki alt 185, yes i know its being neglected my bad...

[Shep1970]

Thanks redsox, its coming together nicely, only about ten issues overcome. Kind of followed that super x build but a few changes, i didnt want to cut engine block on this motor so new mounts were made and or welded. Ill start a different thread prob monday no later. Oh heres my( sons) yt60. Sorry for crooked pics, ill work on that, anyone know a easy fix, wish there was a rotate pic button here.

[Shep1970]

Heres my sons bike,he tore ALL apart then put back together w/help. He chose colors etc. no used on my/our bikes. Fenders for x-mas- tires from grandparents (dads parts pile) no helmet hes just posing did learn clutch very quickly, i made him learn on moms square when she wasnt looking..... He still rides on private land due to the states rules, he is just to tall to ride anything smaller

Awesome awesome awesome. Can't wait to see the green framed build, your sons X is really cool, and the neighbors tri-zinger was the first three wheeler I ever rode. Welcome to 3wheelerworld! Your builds all look nice, always wanted to see a fully suspended alt185. Just throwin that out there.

[jeswinehart]

I REALY like that green color Shep ! Welcome aboard.

Thanks dohc, keeping the boys involved keeps them off electronics...yes my lower groin when younger wouldve loved suspension. When i had suzuki running my wife not knowing bought me 6-ply tires for rear, soon after it was parked.didnt have courage to tell her why.she was too proud that she helped

[Shep1970]

Thanks jeswinhart, i got to keep wife happy, she saw a camaro with factory bright green metalic paint. ( she cliamed THIS bike when i started on it, thats ok. I dont mind kicking but electric start,reverse will be nice. Taking it slow though. More pics monday. I belive i bought steering cap cover from u? A couple other things too i think

Good man, that's how it's done

I had a very nice stock ALT185 that I REALLY wanted to convert to full suspension. I sold it to a bit of a collector and he was very glad I'd left it stock.

Yes, quite possible on the steering stop purchase. Far as i know I am the only fella making them.
Someday I will ride a 86/87 200X. And I predict I will be looking for one shortly afterwards
