Well I just finished up on the old '82 200E last night!! I actually liked doing this machine, I have been messing around with the R's and X's for a spell now and it felt good doing the Big Red!! It is'nt a full restro on this one but it sure looks good ,I thought!!! I like the part of being vintage with this machine,I think it turned out real nice, How you all like my newest ATC ??? Any one else have a '82 Big Red???:)

I wish I could paint,I actually have a painter who has matched the paint to the Honda color,I believe it is Scarlett Red",and the decals are all done by one of my best vendors, Harlan Lynse- he has helped me out on dozens of restorations in the past!!

Looks great! I have a 1988 Ford Ranger GT that has a factory color of Scarlet Red. Cool that theyre the same!
Do you have a pic of the rear showing the fender decals?

You're 200E looks great!!! Congratulations on your completed project!!! My 200E is still in several pieces but I hope to be able to start putting it back together before to long. I still have a few more items that I need to get powder coated first though.

Looks great. You don't see too many early Big Reds like that - very nice work. Impressive.

Yeah ,I have seen one other '82 Big Red laying in the weed's about 10 minutes from my house!! I talked to the fella and he said he was gonna fix it up for his grandkids about 4 years ago!! Yep,today it's still in the weeds,just rotting away and I asked him a few weeks ago to sell it,'nope gonna fix it up for the grandkids',he said !! I guess he still wants it ,Ahe!!! Here are some pic's ,one including the rear wing decals which fit perfectly !!

Great job. I'm getting back into 3 wheelers after many years off.. I just came across a 1982 200e. It is pretty much all there, paid almost nothing for it. I haven't tried to get it running yet. It has been sitting in a heated shop for over 10 years and supposedly ran when it was put away. Do you have any suggestions for used parts vendors?

Love it man, just love it!

The faded black to grey tank graphic and Honda logo are not true Honda graphics of any year, is that correct?

...........and if so, they should have been!!

I love the subdued look, too cooool!

Nice work buddy! :beer
