Hi everyone, I am brand new to this forum and I had to join because of my recent project. Last year I was given a honda 200s threewheeler that was in a barn for 4years. I have fully restored the trike and it looks awsome, I had the front tire foam filled because I couldnt get the wheel to seal and there wasnt an aftermarket wheel available that would fit. The tire weighs about 50 lbs! So it may not wheely. Anyways I just got my new carb in today and tonight I will put it on as well as the battery for my goki electric start kit. So here I go after a year of work and penny penching I will see if she will fire! Im glad I found this site it is very informative.:TrikesOwn

You cant find a tire or a rim? If its a rim go to denniskirk.com and they should have some. Post some pics, always nice to see a trike around the boards. :welcome:

The wheels from dennis Kirk wont work for the front. I drove it in a farm field and it wouldnt go over 25 in the soft dirt and I couldnt even get to 4th gear. My front tire wieghs exactly 82 lbs! It is solid rubber. On pavement It will flat move! 48mph! greatness! I just need a wheel to lighten up the front and not waste all that power to push it. Or a place were I can get a tube. I realy want to get rid of that front tire, it weighs to much, its only benifit is it could stay up even under gun fire! LOL! Any ideas, I'll try to get some pics this thing is awsome it starts on the first touch of a button and idles perfect! Any ideas on that front wheel would be greatly appreciated.

That's funny stuff right there! :lol: :rolleyes:

Check ebay for a rim and tire for your 200s. If I remember correctly they're 22x11x8. If not an innertube can be found at any one of those big atv sites like dennis kirk or rockymtnatv.

Try your local tire shops.Several around here keep those tubes and tires in stock. As for your wheel,I'm sure there are several reputable members on this forum that would give you a decent deal on a used one.
