ATC 185 Questions?

[NWDave]

I'm getting a good deal on a Honda ATC 185. The trike is in great shape, runs fine and all, but has the rigid front forks. Is it worth the effort to swap over the forks to the newer style with suspension?

I've also been researching some fo the big bore kits, which use the 200cc cylinder jug. Is there a productive gain in power with these? I'm a big guy, and want some more low end grunt.

Not only worth it, but some would say a requirement! The non-suspended ATC's will beat you to death, but even the limited 185s-200s front shocks make a huge difference.

Dunno about the big bore kits, someone else will have to answer that one.

Is the front hub/brake assembly the same on the non-suspended forks as on the telescoping suspension forks?
