My 1986 Honda 200x Rebuild (Progress Pics)

[ProCarbine2k1]

Well I've been making good progress, and havent been keeping you guys up to date. So I will start from the beginning...

This was the day I brought her home, before the first wash.

[ProCarbine2k1]

Here it is after the first wash and start of the breakdown. Everything is actually in really good shape, just hasnt really been taken care of or ridden much.

Here is a quick shot after the motor was pulled. Notice all the blue and black stuff on the floor in the 2nd pic. Yeah, you guessed it... I bet there was 10-15ft of electrical tape (un-needed) surrounding the wiring harness. Ill have to post pics of the harness after I disected and cleaned it up, re-insulated and re-mounted it.

Engine after hours and hours of cleaning, degreasing, prepping, and painting. I need to clean the fins on the top end, but the top end really didnt need paint so I left it be. I am also in the finishing stage of my carb rebuild (went very well), just have to figure out how to mount the main gasket (not contoured like the stock one).

And this is how she sits. Im in the home stretch now, just gotta sit tight and watch the paint dry . Hopefully Ill have my new tires and wheels mounted up, along with my new exhaust next week.

the engine looks good, so does the bike so far. what are you plans for it, anything besides new tires, wheels, and exhaust? and get the rust off the tank.

[ProCarbine2k1]

When I get back from trikefest I have a new swinger waiting on it. I also have a new exhaust coming that should be here today (this winter I am fabbing a cr230 or cr150f on it). I will also be adding a custom rear shock this winter (probably a works)... and much more to come.

Alright guys, I had to cut my last post short because the ol' lady came over and the UPS guy finally showed up. Funny thing about it was that the UPS guy had a "thing" for trikes, so we ended up chatting a while about them. He said that he had seen a couple three wheelers for sale on his route pretty recently and took my cell and said he would fill me in. How cool was that...
Anyway, like I said Ive got to let the paint dry on the motor, footpegs, rear hubs, and motor mounts and start putting it back together. I still have to finish up the carb and put new seals in the forks in the meantime. I know Im forgetting a few things, so Ill be posting the details as it starts going back together...

[ProCarbine2k1]

The motor is in (not all bolted up yet but in none the less). I also flushed the forks, put in new seals, and boot on some new boots. Have the forks bolted up as well...

Here are couple pics of the tank in primer. I actually have the tank painted and ready for decals but havent taken pics yet.

[ProCarbine2k1]

Havent been keeping you guys updated, heck I havent been working on it much (got married, racing, work, college, air guard, etc.) But here she is almost complete. Ive got another swingarm I am putting on (new paint, bearings, taking off skid mounts), and some other odds and ends I am going to be trying to finish up this Christmas break.
I am also selling the 350x headlight shroud and lights, will be replacing with a number plate.
