Hand Gaurds
head light & mount
air box
triple tree
seat mouts

all parts buying is on hold for a bit got to work with what i got for now

[250sx]

wow! that's a reinforced seat!

[Friendly Giant]

is that what it was lol

[84honda200s]

should be a fun build up for sure man. they arnt too hard to tare down then build back up. plus if you take it apart piece by piece you will be ok. just make sure there are only 2 people and not many more. if you have more than 2 of you parts tend to get lost or mixed up and then you forget where they went. i think dammit is still selling manuals pretty cheap. it wouldnt be a too bad of an idea to hit him up.


anyway good luck on the build. ill be fallowing it.

[Friendly Giant]

ya i was thinking on buying a manual but e bay has like 2 or 3 of them for a 200x i did not know what one would have step by step with pics if any one knows a manual like that post or pm me any info is a big help

[dan_badgley]

ahh who needs a manual buddy you got me!!! lol (Jokes)

its starting to look like a 200X again lmao

[dan_badgley]

Yeah were getting good progress!!! look even better in the pics!
Its on it way to be a rider again!

[84honda200s]

looks like you need a new chain and axle on that bad boy. if you need a rear axle let me know.


ill take some pics of my rear brake set up for ya. it will help give you something to go by. ive bin told the stock foot brake wont work because it mounts to the motor ? and the 200s/185 motors dont have the place to put them on. sooooo ill show ya what i did. many people come up with many ways of doing it. ive seen one out-x that used a hand brake on the bars (like your front brake) but i wouldnt think it would work too well. i dont think a front master could build up the pressure needed to get to the rear caliper. but what ever.

[Friendly Giant]

ya im going to get a new chain and rear axle for it as soon as i can

if you could post a pic of the rear brake set up it would be a huge help
i dont even know were to start on that lol

Thanks F.G

[Friendly Giant]

Thanks alot 84honda200s :hail: :hail: any thing would be better then what i have lol

[84honda200s]

do you need a front one as well ?

[Friendly Giant]

i think my front one is good i will have to cheek next time im at the shop

[dan_badgley]

Remeber Giant. You do need a front as well as Rear.. last night when you cleaned up the chain.. get some lube on it.. It should be ok.. If not mine is free to you!

I just bought another chain from 84Honda200S So its all good. FREEBEE!

But I would say you need a front sprocket, sprocket retaining clip, rear sprocket, and Axle and swing arm bearings..

So we can get that gal back together. We need to take pics of her again tonight!

So whats up with the post where you said?
Quote ''YA YA all in do time young dan ...patience is a virtue lmao''/////

Its a freebie.. I did not mean you have to pay dude. lol

[Friendly Giant]

update
last night we got the swing arm off hopeing to clean it up and paint it soon
we have to work on geting the axle out some one welded the hubs on it lol thats going to be a fun job

i was jokeing around with ya dan lol

[84honda200s]

just cut the hub rite off. i got the axle for ya. you can mess that axle of yours up real bad and it wont matter. but yea judging by them pis ill bet those anti fade nuts will be one pita to get off there as well. looks like you are going to have a blast ha ha ha. good luck man !! if i were closer to ya id be wrenching on it with you and dan no problem.

[Friendly Giant]

ya we are planing on useing the grinder to cut off the axle in half no cule how it going to work lol
ya it would be cool if you were closer meny hands make light work

[dan_badgley]

JUST A FYI for when you log on next dude...
you owe me.

I scored you triple tree's and a complete air box for CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!! So yeah.. now your just needing to get that rear swinger in gear!

[84honda200s]

here is a picture of the rear brake set up.

[Friendly Giant]

Thanks for the pic it will help us out on makeing one for it

[Rex Karz]

An 86-87 200xBrake pedal IIRC, takes very little modding to work. Almost fits right on.

hmmmmmm that makes me think.

[Friendly Giant]

Thanks for the info Rex Karz i will have to cheek that out
you would not happen to have a pic of that by any chance

[dan_badgley]

Yes Rex I would love a pic of this as well. AS Giant and me are the ones on the build.

I mean I looked online after your post.. I can sort of see one?? but could anyone get a close up of one?? or a example of how to?

I have a 85.... never seen or been on a 86 or 87 in person...

If you dont mind helping us out Rex.. and this is in no way post whoring it up.. Me and Giant need some more clear info and you seem to have it?? Can we pick your brain maybe score us some pics?

Hope this post dont cause ****..... sorry to post so much.

[Rex Karz]

Sorry, I don't have one at the moment. If you find one cheap, then that is your best bet. I'm not even positive about the fit, I gave my auto-x to my brother years ago, and he lives many miles away.

[dan_badgley]

kk thanks for responding.. Me and giant are on this build.
I think I am going to try and score the 86-87 hardware.. and see how I make out.. I think its the best option to look close to factory.. I can see how it should work.

I am going to snipe one on ebay and see if we can get it on Giants bike within a week or 2.

[dan_badgley]

lol.. BUMP GIANT..

you better get a move on.. I am beating you.. lol
