Thought I would share some pic of another one of my 200x s . This one is pretty much all curtis sparks old skool stuff . Sparks ported head , cam , Valve springs , header and lightened crank . The carb set up is an aftermarket alum intake with 28mm mikuni flat slide . The +2 swingarm is kinda rare made by CT racing and im also using an aftermarket shock spring I believe made by works . The tank is an old IMS short track plastic tank . rear axle is a +6 durablue . Front forks are 1983 atc250r which I believe gives it 3 more inches of travel plus it makes the trike sit better with the longer swinger .

I bought it about 5 years ago in pretty rough shape , had it shipped all the way from calif to florida . I really dont know to much history on the trike and basiclly bought it for the motor . I did a total resto on it and added the CT swinger and fork set up and had the frame power coated red . I have a set of SRP low pro rear fenders for it they just need painted .

No the 83-84 R forks are a few mm larger so you have to use the 250r tripples or get the 200x tripples machiened .

I thought it was a dico at first but comparing it to the one Billy has its different :wondering . The way the shock bolts to the swingarm is totally different and it has some huge gussets at the bearing carrier that are very different from a dico and the tubing is larger and more heavy duty on the ct than a dico . I guess CT could of had dico make them with ct's specks ? Lets see pics of yours to compare .:beer

Seen this machine in person a few weeks ago, pictures can't do it justice, its REALLY good looking and has some great oldschool parts on it. That tank in particular really threw me for a loop at first!

Thanks Billy , Was great to meet you in person, Next time your down this way look me up again .:beer
