well my 200x that ive been working on is still a pile of steel in the back yard lol but i found a complete 200x parts bike with everything on it from a guy who just restored one. He knows what the parts are worth so it wasnt exactly free but it gets me a hell of alot closer to getting mine together, aparently the guy who had it cut the front off the frame to try to stuff a 400ex into it, but failed lol. So seeing as i have a good main frame for my 83 ill just swap the swinger and everything to it and call it good ill be picking it up tomorrow before work so i should have a few pics up for you guys before i get flamed with a this thread is useless without pics :P

hes also got 3 other 200x engines that are if various states of needing a rebuild, might pick those up later when some money allows. Had to buy a new truck so money is kinda tight atm.

let me knwo if you cna get a 200x frame swinger and front fork setup. basically a roller w/o a motor setup or plastics. jsut wondering how much they cost.

[gizmo_22]

thats basically what i started with a year ago, was a freebie but in rough shape... as far as parts go, your best bet is the people on this forum

[steven 250sx]

good stuff man, get your bikes going so we can go rip it up

[gizmo_22]

its in the works man, wont be long now... got a few people here at work that want to hit up blue mountain and go play in the sand, couple dirtbikes and a quad or 2 so once my bike is good to go we'll go play

don't expect much from the tri-z though lol i'll say i'm novice on it but still i ride it like it's a 2 stroke

[gizmo_22]

lol ill be a novice on the x too, only ever rode my hardtail up there but its fun

[steven 250sx]

i was up there proboly 2weeks ago and i got stoked hardcore but scared at the same time cause i know i'm goign to try it sooner or later lol but yea have you ever been up to pabino pit? they got little and big stuff with wide open areas

[gizmo_22]

cant say i have, but id like to go see

[gizmo_22]

well guys got her home today, i dont like how the frame has been cut in 4 pieces on the down tube so im thinking ill sacrifice the beat 83 for the down tube and weld it in one shot, then get it running it looks like its in amazing shape tho for whats there, front brakes work but need new pads, rear has no brake fluid yet so its unknown with that... Swingarm bearings are good and tight, ordered some chain tensioners for it today, should have my mounts within the next week or 2 and have the engine in anyways as promised some big pics What you guys think?

[steven 250sx]

omg she looks good boss, but why cut 2 frames up? whats wrong with the 83?

[gizmo_22]

everything lol

[gizmo_22]

its really beat and i found some spots where the frame was "modified" by the previous owner, and the 84 stuff wont bolt up without a trip to the machine shop... so its easier for me to cut the 83frame and get myself a good strong 84

[steven 250sx]

ahh ok well get at' er

[gizmo_22]

that is the plan, cutting and welding should happen tomorrow afternoon and i might fab up a rear brake lever while im at it... wont be long once parts are in
