Hey... I'm Rick "Ziggy"W.
I'm from Indiana and I'm axiously waiting to pick up a 82 Honda 200, Sat. am.
Reluctantly I have to admit I don't know squat about them, but ready and willing to do what it takes.

I'm already enjoying what I've read.

welcome to trike'n.

the only advice I give to people new to 3 wheelers is, dont put your feet down!

I can tell you how many times Ive run over my own legs

[edog]

:welcome: :welcome: :welcome:

We would love to see some :pics: of this Trike when you get it?

Any thing else you can tell us about this 200?

[Ziggy]

LOL, since you mentioned it, I crashed a restored 78 HD 1000 and done a reak job on my leg.

ratvespa, advice well taken.

[Ziggy]

I suppose many have seen the pic from Ebay. I talked with the guy on several occasions and got a good feel for it.
I hope (and really think) it's as good as he says.

We'll see.

That has to be the lowest post per day I have ever seen.


heh, yeh, 10 post since 2003! I got too many other internet boards that waste my time, I don't need other one to suck me in!

[tyman]

that front tire looks too big... lol.. it looks like its exploding out of the fender...

[kxttecate]

Looks like it's in real nice shape. My first trike was an '82 200 and I had a lot of fun on it. Those old Hondas can really take a beating! They are a blast in the snow. Just don't go too crazy with a trike that has no suspension except for the tires.

[Russell 350X]

Weclome aboard! Awsome site here eh? Nice looking ride too!(if you get it). This old 200's are insanly reliable and so much fun. Enjoy dude!

[maggiesboy]

welcome to the madness / addiction. These guys (and gals) are great, lots of resources and know how are here for yer pleasure (and pain) :D

[firehart]

I used to run over my leg at least once every time I took mine out.

[Ziggy]

Thanks... thanks to all for the welcome.

1st question, what parts interchange with the 200?
The only thing that is wrong with this one, the headlight is burnt-out.

I'm going to get it Sat. morning.

:beer :w00t: :beer

[edog]

You can Buy a New one from www.denniskirk.com

[SYKO]

dennis kirk for a bulb?? now thats over kill! goto the local auto parts store, thats where I get mine, usualy they are some kind of european replacemants that work.

[Ziggy]

Hey thanks.

I'll need to see exactly what I'll need. No Bigger there.

Secondly, what about a rear cargo rack? Did they come with 1, or is there a variation of the 200 that will work?

Ziggy

[SYKO]

im not sure on the rack, as im not a big red kindy guy, but I think it was an option, and you have to cut holes in the fenders to mount it, that thing looks clean I wouldnt do it. in my op

[Ziggy]

sykoLincoln, I value your opinion Bro...

I'm actually more into originality anyhow.

here's my restore of a 1978 HD 1000 Ironhead

[SYKO]

now thats something there to apreciate!!, I look like a hard core biker guy, but I got out of cycles a few years back, to many of my freinds got killed, (mostly becouse they didnt know how to ride) and I have had a few close calls, (idiot drivers) if I ever get back into it, it will most deffinitly on a hog, that looks real clean man!! very nice work, we know for sure know that little trike is in good hands.

[Ziggy]

I had a 73 74" FLH for years.
I got away from bikes as well. I happened across the Old Sporty and had to have it. Like the Trike, something I always wanted, ya' know?

If you care to see, heres a short slide show of the transformation

[Ziggy]

Oh and by the way, that site was set-up for show-case restores and the like.

[SYKO]

VERY NICE!! if you click on my yahoo page in my sig you can see some of my work as well, and I like that site! im book marking it.

[Ziggy]

Wow, nice page. But the Dude takin' a dump, just ain't right... LMAO

And nice work too. I can appreciate your talents.
You're obviously multi-talented. Thumbs-up Bro!!!

[Mr. Clean]

nice ironhead, old harleys get a bad rap, nothing like a solid mount Milwaukee vibrator.

Here is my 79 resto to date. Like the 200 also, Who says Hondas and Harleys dont go together.

[Ziggy]

Wow, that's looking good. I can't wait to see it together.
Is the frame paint or powder-coat?

Thanks for the pics and you're right, nothing like a Classic Ride! :beer

Base coat clear coat polyurethane. Everything has been sandblasted epoxy primed and painted. The motor is all new with kick and electric start. Need to find a way to stop spending money on the trikes so I can finish it.

[Ziggy]

That's what I used on my 2-tone. It's great to work with. What all do you have planned, stock, semi-stock or what?

As to my 200, I'm so anxious, I can barely contain myself. :lol:

[Mr. Clean]

semi-stock, no real major changes. I added an alternator, bigger peanut tank, electronic ignition, mini apes and 10.5 inch shocks. Everything else will be stock.

When you get your 200 post some pics. I found this website and about a month later I was driving home with a 250r in the back of my truck. Three months later and I came home with a truck and trailer full of 250r parts. Look forward to the pics.
