new trike atc 185

[trimoto55]

Well i had a 225 trimoto few years back after i got rid of it i always had the itch for another trike to ride in the snow. After searching on craigslist i found an atc 185 that needed work that i picked up for $150 bucks. After i bought it the stator primary coil needed to be replaced so i got a new one and got it running. One day later the CDI died i seen a really good deal on an OEM honda ignition coil and seeing mine looked a little shady i bought. Im currently waiting on a new CDI to come in so after that it should be a runner. It was missing the muffler which i bought from a member on here. It also needs new steering stem bearings and a new front tire and im sure it will be a great runner here is a crummy cell phone pic!

Are those forks bent? It's a good project to restore anyway. Have fun!

[trimoto55]

the bow in like that on both sides i was wondering the same thing with people that have the solid front end do the forks bend in like that?

[shortline10]

Their def bent , should be straight and the front fender is customized to fit .
That was a great deal , i've been looking for a 82 185s like yours for a long time now for a project and cant seem to find a decent one .

They look bent to me too. Congrats on the new project.

hey did you get that from the guy who had the xl 500 motor in a 84 200x frame for $400. He had a few trikes on yesterdays Philly Craigslist but no pics. was that him???

[trimoto55]

No i got it from a guy in perkasie PA like 3 weeks ago. He had a best offer ad up so i offered 150 and he thought about it for a few min because he wanted 200. the trike is in good shape but needs also a new seat cover and the frame repainted which i will do after winter i just want this as a crusier for the snow. The motor is clean and when it ran it idled perfect

Not a bad looking trike. Great deal for 150 bucks. Those forks are bent you will have to replace those probably :(

Maybe thats why the tire is flat? That had to hit something hard.

[trimoto55]

i wanted to get a suspension front end so i guess now i have to so if anyone has one in decent shape at a reasonable price shoot me a PM!!!

[leviblue]

I swear I saw the ad with the pic on CL. Thats a great find and you can't beat the price. I keep telling people East Pa, Jersey, and Dele is the place for cheap three wheelers. Everyone is pulling them out of the garage and putting them up for sale. A buddy of mine has a good fork, just gotta get ahold of him. in the mean time check this out sale-dhjpu-1458758953@craigslist.org

Looks really clean aside from the seat, and front tire. Good snag!

[trimoto55]

Yeah there are some good deals around here and parts are pretty cheap for these i think trikes r the funniest thing in the snow, i go out all night and day on the covered roads!

[trimoto55]

I forgot to mention the left sid eof the tank had a little dent but the inside is perfectly chrome not a speck of rust

[jeffs250Russell]

I think I want one.
