hey, my buddy's little bro has this atc 185s that doesnt run, i sold my atc 200 to a friend, but it needs some major work, and theres an atc 90 in the town yard. so i though id maybe make 3 trikes into 1. i wanna put the 200 top end on the 185 case, put the 200 recoil and starter motor on the 185, put the 200 elecrical system on the 185, put the 90 rear hubs and sprocket on the 185 and some turf saver 18x8.5x8 tires on the rear. then a high power light and new front tire. then the 200's charging system and battery. ive got the manual, skills and tools, can someone please tell me if these parts interchange with one another? i think it would be a fun little flat track machine :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: well ill have pics asap on this little prject, and i need to know the interchangability of these parts. thanx, tony

The 200s and 185s are interchangelble, my brother has both and has used the 185s for parts many times liike for the brakes and the rear hubs and wheels off the 185s. I dont know crap about the 90 though . We did use the 200s recoil on the 185s to attempt to start the 185 one time and it fit like a charm. All I can say for sure is the 185 and 200 are good pals and work together like best buds

well the reson for the 90 is because of the smaller flat track like tires. they are on 3 bolt rims, and the 90 has 3 bolt hubs. im hoping the hubs will fit the 185 axle. and the 90 sprocket must be smaller, and ill need a smaller one for the smaller tires and increase in power. id love a 200x front end, but high end parts are rare here. theres one racer:" DJ's 250r. the 200 has massive compression, i snapped the pull rope tryin to turn it over. and it runs great. so i just thought this would be a nice fun lil flat track toy. and probly fast, cuz the 200 wuz a fast machine. it wuz a quad. now trailprotrailpro probly scratchin trailprotrailpro heads on that one, but its true. the guy i bought it off of built a front end outta scrap metal and put oddessey front spindles and hubs on it, and re-drilled some honda car rims (12") and put nice 25" tires on it. it had foreman front fenders. it wuz great, but i bent the teeth on the rear sprocket, and sold it for 40 bucks and bought some smith goggles. but he still has it and probly would sell it back for 40. so that top end on the 185 would be sweet. im hoping the 90 hubs would fir the 185, but if not, the rear honda rims on the 200 are drilled to the honda 4 bolts, and i could buy some like 18x8 or 9x12 tires. thanx again for your help, and ill get pics soon, thanx, tony.
