Personally, I wouldn't worry about the rims, just get 3 new tires mounted on thick rims if your gonna be in the rocks Otherwise medium thickness is good. I can't tell in the picture, if the rear axle has 5 bolts then it's not 86 or 87. A 350X is less rare but they run 200 to 350$ on EBAY but you have trike friends here. The headlight would be on the expensive side. I love the 87 tank decals buried in clear!! Contact Onformula1 for suspension.īill007 can get you nice air shrouds, not sure what colors he has. Plastic, paint tank, recover set, tear it down and powdercoat the 87 swinger red and do the frame while your at it.Ī good used shock can be rebuilt if it's inexpensive. 85 and under has a steel fork cap but they are really not an issue unless they are pitted. What do you guys think? Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed the story and pics! I'm only considering that since mine is an 87 model. Anyone on here have the parts I'd need and could buy in one whole deal instead of piecing it back together off of ebay? I almost think I'd be better off to find a clean 86 and buy it for parts but Id hate to part out another good bike. ![]() Plus it needs seat work which I do upholstery, but it will also need new tires along with new levers. According to ebay prices, I'm looking at somewhere around $1000 bucks for new fenders, used rear shock, used front forks, brake system. The trike actually runs pretty strong, but smokes pretty heavy. Do the wheels look to be the originals, obviously the tires are not. ![]() The trike is also missing the complete rear brake system besides the disc. I'm also thinking that the front end is off of a 1st generation 200X or something else possibly. It's obvious that the rear shock is from something else and poorly modified to fit. I'd like to know what parts you guys see that are not original to the trike. If it was an all original 1987 in pristine shape then I would, but it's seen a fair share of use and abuse over the years. I have no intentions of sitting it away on a shelf to just look at. So, what I would like to do is restore the trike enough to make it a nice looking rider. Later that day though, I couldn't believe my eyes when I dug out that old title and the VIN matched the bike that was sitting in front of me! Sure enough, my uncle's old bike that he sold off in 1990 had found its way to me! I really didn't think just too much of it UNTIL I saw the key switch! I thought maybe it was a fluke and someone added it or something. ![]() Later that weekend, he dropped the 200X off at my place to check out and work on. To my surprise, my brother went and bought that bike for a helluva price. I forwarded the ad to my brother who lived a lot closer to the seller. I saw an ad for a 200X for sale in Missouri that had some pretty bad pictures, but I could tell it was a rough 2nd generation 200X. I tucked the title away with some others and hadn't given it much thought since.įast forward to two weeks ago. The interesting thing about the title is that my uncle had purchased the trike brand new and his name was still on the title. A friend of his owned the trike around 1999/2000 and had sold it but he couldn't find the title at the time. About 6 years ago, a local guy gave me a title to a 1987 200X.
