Looks good man! Im actually doing the same to my ytm right now.

Wow nice job! It really looks nice.
A few months ago I acquired a YTM 200EL (barn find); it runs and everything, but I've gotta get it cleaned up and also get the brakes working. It's not going to look like yours, but I think it will be presentable.

Nice work! Looks really nice. Have you gotten it dirty yet?:naughty: :lol:

[newfiebullet]

thanks, man refinishing the fenders worked wonders for appearance. and yesterday i got her very dirty lol, spent the day on it yesterday, my muscles are aching today haha...but i love it works great, just dosent have much top end power,1-3 i can keep up with my buddys 250 big red . in 4th he gets me and when i got to 5th he just walks all over me.

Nice trike!

[hawaiirider]

nice job!! those 200's are good trikes, amazing climbing and mudding better than a honda and i own a honda...
heres my old one i called it the snotrike

Did you paint your forks and triple tree together as one:wondering

[newfiebullet]

trees are black and forks/shocks are gunmetal....noticed today the clutches are toast, time to put in the new ones, never got to do it after all cause i didnt have a socket to fit and didnt know the size so i just put in the new springs.also got a lighter set of tires. so it should be a beast in the mud...has a hard time holdin second in the mud now and 3rd just bogs out.never did get the carb workin right. 1-3 has normal power which is what i use 85% of the time , 4th is mediocre and 5th is crap just nice for cruising. so im not gonna mess with it anymore.

Not trying to hijack but are the ytm 200e's rare? my friends and i just picked one up for 20 dollars, has uncracked plastics, has all around racks, headlight tailight and toolbox there, had both keys on it and a real low hour machine. The plastics just have that brown dust crap on it that you shave off with a razor blade. We got it running to, just needs a little tlc like lubeing up the brakes and stuff. Nice YTM btw!!!!!

[newfiebullet]

never thought they were rare but a 200m or 250 big red deff out number them around here 10-1
