Just got it "finished", still waiting on a new float needle and a air filter before I can actually test it out

Anybody tell what swingarm/shock that might be? It was a honda 3 wheeler, something like a 200S / X or such, but not positive. I need to know to get a new rear sprocket. Or- would most Honda trikes possibly use the same sprocket- as in 200s, 200x, etc using the same sprocket

its a 200x swingarm, the 200s didnt have rear suspension. And the big reds had shaft. The only sprockets that are gonna fit will be a different tooth 200x sprocket and maybe a 350x, 250r sprocket. How many teeth do you need to change? It looks scary.

Cool, thats what I needed to know. I'll need a new sprocket soon just because the one on it is worn pretty bad. I think the gearing should come out pretty decent as it is.

Sooo, does nobody think this is neat or what [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img], I thought it turned out really nice for starting from scratch. I know its not a hog of a motor, but I got the 250 and the swingarm/axle for 75 bucks, so I couldnt pass that up. I was gonna use a 300ex engine I have, but the 250 ran really well and I think looks better in the frame, what with the exhaust setup and all.

Well, I got to take it out and give it a good thrashing this weekend. It did awesome, my buds were pretty impressed with how well it did in the tricky stuff. Found a few quirks I needed to change, shift linkage for one and some adjustments to the steering.

Very nice. Can you get some close up shots of how you did your trottle and shift linkage?? Ive been wanting to build one for a long time now, but havent seen or come up with a reliable sturdy way of doing them. Thanks
