    honda200s1984 - Thank you so much - great 225!

    Honestly this thing will turn out every but as good as my others. Not bad, not bad at ALL

    I took a measly hour to wash the thing up 1/2 decent and it's amazing what a simple wash job did for it.

    If the motor turns out to run decent, which I see no reason why not, this thing will end up being nicer then your 200S!

    The muffler which I thought was rust was only dirt! Fine shape it is.

    The seat only needs to be patched at the location shown and small typical minor ones that tear at the seams underneath. the ones underneath just need to be stitched back up.

    The bars I straigten out with my own HE-MAN strength. Well not totaly but a heck of a lot better then they were.

    The camo paint seemed to preserve the schroud graphics also. I took 10 minutes with super fine steel wool and look at it.........IT's GREAT!

    It really doesn't look all that bad with that paint job either. When I 1st saw it I thought who would do such a thing , but all in all it's not so bad. I will take it off though.

    The rear fender mud flaps (all 4) are A-OK also. Rear fender should come out really nice also.

    Anyway here are some wash job picks. NO WAY is this turning into a parts bike. Most likely set till winter or at least till i get my other 2 done.

    Thanks again!!!

    Even the rear turned out 1/2 decent.

    Trike need alot of TLC yet but for sure it will come out looking fine.

    Hey, that light schroud you gave me, it's for a 200 but will still fit I see.

    Hey thanks.

    Give me a few months and you'll wish you had kept it.

    Maybe I'll sell it back to you but you'll have to drive alllllllll the way out here this time.

    I'll have a coke ready for your mom and a for your Uncle.

    Slatington PA - You did the mapquest for me so you should know???

    Waaaaay east of you. 287 miles to be exact and 4.5 hours or so.

    I noticed something peculiar about the way the engine is painted

    Both 83 & 84 that I have, have the inside cases NOT painted. This 83 is painted but appears to be factory. I mean it looks factory but I don't see how that could be on the same years having 2 different paint schemes?

    Did you paint that and if so it's holding up quite well. Paint on the cylinder & head are stock for sure and held up better then my other ones!

    ALWAYS keep me in mind if you see a trike for sale, even if it looked as crappy as yours did.
