She cleaned up pretty nice...

Hi Gents,

I know that a lot of you are racers so this '81 ATC200 might not be up your alley, but I thought that I'd post a couple pictures of my fall project. It started out as a $300 basket case, didn't run worth a crap, missing lots of parts, plastics in tough shape,... But this was by no means a full restoration, more of a clean-up, tune-up, and make whole again kind of project. A head rebuild and carb clean and rejetting (thanks to the great info on 3WW!) got her purring like a kitten again, and a lot of the part sources mentioned here on 3WW helped me to fill in the missing pieces. I'm pretty happy with the results, and having a ton of fun cruising around on it!

Looks good just be careful where you park it might not find it till snow flies (just kidding ) the camo looks better than most I've seen

Is that camo tape? It looks really good. Nice job.

Most of the time people try to camo their bikes, it looks like crap. But you did a very good job! What did you use?

Looks like camo cloth to me, but thats just a guess. Looks good man, its not always about speed on here. I have way more uses for a BigRed than for my Z, but I cant find a Red. Sometimes it is good to go a little slower and smell the roses.

Nice machine !

I have one of these also, sorry I don't have a current picture.
This was camo when I got it but I have since removed the paint
since the plastic is in really good shape.
I love the old hardtails and this is my favorite ride.

Good job man. Looks like a tough trike. The 250es in my avatar is one I bought about 2 months ago, not running. I paid $250 for it. I know have it running and am in the process of installing new wheel bearings, front and rear brakes and cables. Moving slow but doing it right.

Thanks guys. Yes, I used camo tape, Cabela's sells it in two different camo patterns. When I first got the trike it had been painted all in olive green, pretty ugly. My buddies thought it looked like something out of WWII that a German soldier would ride around on! The camo tape was a huge step up.
