I know where I can get Al rims for my 200s that fit the rear, but I'm not sure about the front. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

I know where you can get a 200x set of forks, complete with rim & tire, see how hard it is to convert.

Douglas wheels will custom make one for you.$78.96-
It will be two bell halves instead of a bell and a nose.( meaning it will be a booger to mount).Because of this you'll need to buy the thicker guage wheel. I wouldn't buy the .125 for the rears either if thats the ones you are looking at.Call them and talk to Anthony in the custom wheels dept.

hey studytime,
I put a 200x front hub, rim and axle onto my 200s forks...looks cool hehe
The forks I have are the suspension forks..like a big red? Im not sure , anyways I had a machinist friend make the correct spacers to center it and used a 200x axle shaft. I also bought 200x hubs for the rear and have aluminum rims there too...kinda weird but it looks cool and steers ALOT better...I will look around to see if I have pics of this thing. I built it from 3-4 diff trikes and what parts I could find, 83 185s frame, 84 200 engine, 185 fenders without the flaps, 200x seat, big humungous plastic tank, 200x carb. its crazy but it rides good :naughty: http://img35.photobucket.com/albums/v105/bethrcno/?action=view&current=P1010008.jpg

ok here it is before i tore it apart to paint, when I had it "mocked up" without the right spacers. The only thing wrong is the amount of space between the tire and the forks, kinda looks strange. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v105/bethrcno/P1010008.jpg

since then I put a front fender from a big red on it, so it looks somewhat better..and Im ditching the tank as soon as I get a petcock for a normal tank
