+2 axle, a good upgrade

**90nut** · 01-05-2005, 01:07 PM

I am wondering if a plus 2 axle is a good upgrade for my 85 200x? I found one for $120 and I was wondering if anyone has one and if you do how do you like it. thanks.

Totally useless, I'll give you $150 for it.

**twgranger** · 01-05-2005, 01:28 PM

I think it is a good upgrade, it will handle alot better.

**90nut** · 01-05-2005, 02:23 PM

well I guess I will just have to buy it if its totally useless! Just kidding man. I am planning on getting it. It should be here in about 3 days. The guy that has it isnt all the far from my house only like 8 hours away.

i had a deal going on one for 40 shipped. guy sold it localy.

Does he have anymore? You'll definetly notice a difference in the handling. If you ride the woods much though, you'll also notice "That those trees are closer together" heh.

They are nice on a track or riding open areas, but if you ride the woods in the midwest youll find that not only are the trees closer together, but its difficult to ride beside the rut in stead of In it, and youll find that it is a huge disadvantage in the mud, and that you get stuck on the swingarm a lot more. 2" in itself is not bad, but if you couple that with offset rims, or offset hubs, its going to hurt as much as help. Im probably in the minority on this, but if you need wheel spacers to keep it upright, you need more practice riding. As I recently advised somebody in a joking spirit, (because he is an excellent rider) "Get rid of those wheel spacers and learn to ride a 3 wheeler!"

I don't have a problem at all with keeping her on all three's well most of the time its on two wheels. I was just intrested in it because it seemed like a good up grade and I figure it would add just a little stability. You are right about the downs side being that trees are closer together and if there is a good trail goin up a hillside it is a little harder to get her in the groove.

If you're talking about the one Mudfreak99 is selling on another website, it will lighten your wallet, but is not likley to affect handling since you'll probably never receive it to install.

Hey.. anyone ever deal with this guy before :

Money Orders or PayPal ----> kmlmmp@webtv.net
Kenneth Lathers

Fultonville, NY 12072

Man this guy is slow on his responses..

**90nut** · 01-06-2005, 03:14 PM

Yea it is the one mudfreak99 has. I have also been warned abot him but he said he was going to ship it to me first and then I pay. so maybe this deal will actually go through.

Thanks for spreading that idea around Jenn!

That's probably why I cant find a set on ebay for less than $50.

**jenndnn3** · 01-06-2005, 03:45 PM

Perhaps you should look a lil harder.......

**350x'inNY** · 01-07-2005, 05:40 PM

Besides the 200X, what other trikes will these widen out a bit?

350X? (different than 200X right?)

81-84R? (seems like 83-85 hubs worked on my 82R)

Thanks!!!
