    My First Trike.

    Hey guys, I'm proud/Honored to say that I have finally bought my first trike. A 84' 200x. For $600 it was worth the trip. Runs/works like a beauty. But other than that I've posted a few pictures of my baby and was wondering if anyone would take the time to give me some tips on what I should do and maybe find some good deals on certain parts. Thank Again.
    -Matt

    Nice score for $600!!!!
    But what are you going to be using that trike for? My recommendation would be to take those huge tires off of the back, and replace them with some smaller Holeshots..

    Hey edog, would have never thought someone would actually respond to this thread since i posted it maybe like a good month ago lmao!. but yeah sure, here's what it looks like so far compared to what it looked when i first bought it.

    p/s- don't mind the seat..the cover that was on it before was really getting to me so i tore it off lol.
