Finally got myself an 86 200x! UPDATE IN THREAD W/PICS. New engine...MORE PARTS!

[Trike_crazy]

Some parts that I have picked up recently.

Blue brake hoses

Full stainless bolt set

Heavy duty foot pegs. These are some nice pieces

And an Magnum rear carrier with tapered bearings.

Picked up some more parts since my last post for my 86. I bought a white light shroud from shep1970 that looks awesome, a Coffman exhaust and a tank with no holes. I also picked up another 86 X to use for parts then put back together as an auto X with a trx200sx engine I picked up from the parts king himself captainweezy.

I've taken it down to a bare frame and have been trying to determine what color of blue I want to do the frame in and what color to do the swingarm in. I'm torn between doing it like an 87 and doing it the same as the frame or doing white, silver or gold. The last 2 pictures are a loose idea of what I'm going for. I dont want an exact copy though but I do like the all blue and white and my goal is to eliminate all of the red from my X other than the taillight lol and the wording on the caliper guard.

The blue/white looks nice. I have to ask where’d you get the white chain slider? You have it easy, my sons favorite color is orange.......I’m trying to figure out how to make “orange/white” look good when done, prob not going to happen gotta try though. (Maybe)

Ps- I could make ya a blue tailight too——ha

Just depends on funds. I'd like to bring it and run the 200x class with it. If not I'll use the 86 auto X I'm building from leftovers.

That'll work! I'm hoping to have my auto x for trikefest as well. Looking good though.

So the postman dropped this little bit of shininess today. I took a quick second to test fit my billet tapered bearing carrier that I picked up a few years back. I'm almost done collecting parts but now I'm preparing for a deployment so it's going to have to wait a little bit longer to get finished. But damn that axle looks good!

Well as life goes I have no updates for this current project. I'm currently on orders to deploy so this isn't getting worked on until at least this time next year. But I will probably be buying a few of the last parts I need so that I can come home, have it all powder coated then reassemble it.

Thanks for your service. Stay safe.

Well I should have another round of parts coming for the 86 X project. A set of aftermarket fork air adjusters and balance hoses, lower fork stabilizer and a set of aftermarket fender mount hardware. I also found another rear caliper/disc cover in white to go along with the white front one I have. The most exciting part are the blue carbon shrouds that are going on this thing. They are so nice even my wife thought they were awesome!

Some of it like the exhaust and the stuff I have double of are going towards the 250sx project that I'm also working on.

I'm super excited to get started on this project but it's all going to have to wait until I get home next year from this deployment. Until then I'm just keeping an eye out for old school aftermarket parts to buy and later install

That's gonna be a really nice 200x

With the amount of time and money spent on parts I hope so. I'm just trying to cover all of the details that might get missed.

I have a theme or direction I might go with that I wasn't originally intending going with it. I'm not a big fan of red so that's why I was going all white and blue but after seeing some pictures of an 87 xl600r I'm thinking about doing the paint scheme similar to one of those. I'd be doing the engine in red and plastic in white with the tank having the red stripe. I want to set this 200x apart from the rest and build it to my liking and load it with a mix of cool old school parts and some new stuff that is being made up today. Hopefully I get one of the last parts I have my eye set on to put this build right were I want it. Just waiting on paychecks to hit lol.
