hey, i'm pretty new and my friend (300exazzkikr) said there aren't many 3 wheelers around here, so i'm just showing you guys some pics of my crappy bike. It's a 1985 Honda ATC 200s. before i got it somebody had already "race cut" the REAR fenders, so i didn't do that. i had to get a recoil for it and i just rebuilt the top end (rings, gaskets and a hone) and now it starts pretty easily. the brakes don't really work, but you have to downshift through every gear to stop with the auto clutch anyway. i have a go-cart caliper and a 200x rear disk and master cylinder that i am working on adapting, i just have to make a place to mount the caliper. sorry for the novel, just saying hi. and if anybody wants to send my any rear fenders that will fit for free, you'll be my new best friend. these pictures are pretty old but not much has changed.

We used to have 2 old 110's(I think). I had fun on them:) I always liked how 3 wheelers were kinda light looking.

Looks like you need some foam there for your seat. That's gotta be a rough ride. :huh

when i got it it didn't even have one so i got a used one. it's held up pretty good although the rope did break once already. i just put it back through the handle and tied a new knot and it works fine now.

it doesn't just look light, it is light. haha, and surprisingly quick for a 200, although i wouldn't say it's really fast.

yeah, these pics are that old. i actually made my own seat cushion out of carpet padding and some vinyl sheet i had in my basement. it's ugly but it's just as comfortable as a real seat, plus i could make it as big as i wanted to make up for not having any rear suspension.
