Just a little plastic polishing, seat cover, and the new decal kit, and she's good to go.

Very nice. Not real sure about the black wheels & forks though. These are great trikes. Never seen a front rack like that on a 200e before. Mine sits above the headlight. Looks like a different rear rack too, does it mount through the 2 holes in the rear fender or is it attached to the grab bar only?

The rack on the rear is from a 225 dx. Fits to the grab bar. The front is a ytm 200E front rack ordered from dennis kirk- no longer stocked.

Yes, The overspray on the front tire is before I wiped off the excess with MEK. Edog, I can only assume you were being sarcastic....Point taken. I was in a hurry to take the pics cause the wife was leaving with the camera!

I like the black forks and wheels. :crazy: Just my taste. ;)

i bet that front rack can be flip mounted..seating it above the headlight...although now i think the geometry would be all wrong???, did i meantion thats a nice ride?

Thanks for the kind words, James. Look carefully at the front rack. Flip it, and it would be at a 45 degree angle! I saw your edit....good catch!
Much to Edog's excitement, I have since got the overspray off the front tire. :rolleyes:

How did you get the overspray off the tire/how long did it take?

a pressure washer should take paint off the tire.

Thanks for the kind words, gents! You should have seen this thing when I got it. :( It was complete, but needed a lot of work. Sure was worth it, though. :cool:
To get any overspray off , I use SLX- Denatured Alcohol. Cheap and good to clean surfaces when applying decals, wiping off overspray, etc. Anything stronger could damage plastic/rubber. Pressure cleaner works, too, but I the SLX is like way easier.
