got 185 for free and put every bit of $450 into it and it keeps breaking so i bought a 84' 200x that needs a tank and motor so 185 motor is going on and trading my extra 185 carb for the tank..also tires need tubes so im lookin at at least 400 into it including the price i paid by the time im done

I'm pushing around $4500.00 with no sign of stopping. I need more chrome!!

[dblshockpower]

Don't even ask..WHEW! I've owned this '84 200es less than a month and so far $2,200.00 with a seized fork yet to overcome..but it'll be 100% original with new oem tires, exhaust, paint, rubbed plastic, Harlan decals..and all metal was acid dipped except the frame.

[350Xccelerator]

wow thats a lot of money spent on a 200es

[83185s]

yea thats like..showroom 200es i wouldnt ride that after all that money..id keep it for looks and buy something bigger and/or faster

[dblshockpower]

It's going to be a nice 200 es..lol!

[dblshockpower]

We have 3 Foremans ready to go at all times w/everything necessary to overcome adversity..winches, saws, straps, tools, gps, bear spray and revolvers...450mi. of trail starts at the end of my driveway....still I'll use this es for years.

I'm right at 4 grand, give or take a few bucks. That is finished cost. I didnt expect to put that much into it, but then I never thought I would totally redo it. Now thats the money is spent and the Tecate is done, I think its worth it. This trike is gonna be around a long time. This is an older pic without pipe and seat cover.

I got over $1400 into her and I still can't get her started. No need to woory though help is on the way!!!!

[atcmatt]

Im guessing close to $ 3,000 for my 250es. And it is still nowhere near as good as I want it! I figure im gonna probably need to drop another $ 1,500 till it has a beasty engine and a good looking body/fenders. With this project and my ute project im gonna be sooo broke, im still in debt with my parents!

why we do this is beyond me...

i bought my second 86 r a couple of months ago for 1600. it was in good shape, but i had some extra time the last few months, and got a little carried away- as of now ive got another 1000 in it and havent even got to the motor/carb /intake/exhaust. i figure thatll be another 1000- 1500 for sure- i like to think my machine will be better than new- my version of how it shouldve came in 1986- i am totally in love with this thing
