    Talking 1981 honda 185 atc question???

    Just bought my first atc. The 185 has the pull starter on it and was told you could do a conversion to a kick start. If this is true could some one give me some help is on how to?
    Thanks,
    James

    first of all welcome! As far as I know, the only way to get kickstart would be using the entire bottom end (or the whole engine) from an 83-85 200x. Everything should bolt right up for the most part, and then you would have a manual clutch instead of the auto clutch.

    You can get an electric start kit, but, to get kickstart you are talking major mods. You would be better off just buying a trike with a kicker.

    the 185 is a nice trike, my cousin used to own one. It was awesome!
