I know a few years ago someone was making a rear end kit for the 185s/200s. Would anyone if anyone still puts one out? Thanks, cman

Not sure if they still produce the aftermarket suspension for these trikes, But you might be able to find one by searching on Yahoo.com ..
I will post a few pictures of my nephews 200s with an aftermarket swingarm on it. Seems to be an easy mod.

As promised:

Here are a few snapshots of my nephew (Extaftian2)'s 84 200's trike with rear suspension. The whole mod looks like it didn't take much time to perform. And it even uses the stock brake system.

You may notice the only drawback is that the frame could use a bit of strengthening where the brackets attach. In picture #3 you see just under the alloy clamp where the frame has cracked and been welded.

Hope these images help with your own project of adding suspension to your trikes.

Sorry but I have no idea of where this kit came from.
