    how much $$$ into a non sport trike?

    Just curious, How much do you guys put into a non sport trike? I've got a 70 that im up to about 300 bucks. and it still could use plastics, seat, maybe a set of rings. Oh its got 110 hubs so its go the 8 inch rims on it.
    I got this 86 200S awhile back. paid $250 for it, it runs great, no smoke, only issue aside from a good cleaning, it needs a set of plastics and a seat cover. Absolutly no rust in the tank, no dents etc. its even titled. jim

    I would say that 200s is worth fixing up a bit just because it's a 1986. You don't see those very often.

    Of course, like all of these things, once you start putting money into them you have to be aware that at a certain point you'll never get back what you got into it.

    It depends if you’re going to keep it for a while or not. I would replace the headlight and seat cover on the 200s but not the fenders. I can see the fenders are cracked but they are not drooping so unless your going to keep it for a while and don't ride it where new fenders can get smashed up then I wouldn't spend the money. Around here I doubt I could get more then an extra $75 for it with new plastic, and with new plastic running $150 that’s not a good deal.

    we've got about 1200 so far into our two atc70s. just a lot of little things here and there that slowly add up to something impressive.
