Looking good. :-D
Did you cut the stering stops off of the 350x triple tree???
I cut the stering stop bracket off of the frame and welded a little nub in its place.

How is the suspension. Is the bike taller now? I put the 350x front and rear shock on my 85 200x. I still used the 200x swing arm. It looks like u used the 350x one. when i put my 350x shock on i made it so it has more travel, but when bottomed out it was the same height. so my bike is a little higher than stock. here are my pictures. the last 2 are of the 350x shock in my 200x. but i am sure you can figure that out. http://photos.yahoo.com/dacatt86

yes I cut the stops off of the 350x's triple tree. then I drilled a hole directally in the center of the bottom triple tree and put a bolt in it, but I rounded the hex part of the bolt off first. it works awsome. I did use the whole swingarm off of the 350x :twisted: it sits about 1 inch higher. I came across 1 problem using the whole swinger, it is the shock, it hits the airbox when you jump hard :rolleyes: oh whell I will just have to figure something else out or just live with it.

Can you put the 350X shock on the 200X swingarm, and if you could do you need to make any modifications? i'm wondering because i would like to raise my 200X up a bit to make it look a bit meaner. Thanks

Why do you have the forks clamped up so high? Wouldn't that make the dust seals bottom out on the bottom of your lower tripple clamp?

good S**T

that 200x looks mint. the exhaust is nice
any idea of the top speed then

The reason for the forks sticking up so high is that the thing would sit level.
otherwise the front would sit higher looking pretty stupid :x I need to change where the shock mounts to the swinger so that I can move the forks back down and raise the stance of the bike up a bit. no the dust seals do not hit on the bottom of the triple tree. top speed is 50 to 55 with a 12 tooth front and a 40 rear.

I put an 4"extended swingarm on mine and im still using the 200x shock.
It leveled it right out,and the ride is sweet.

Heres a animated pic of the trike before and after the changes .
Notice: The level that it sits is the same but the height has changed.
