200S question

[nitric]

is it or would it be possible to put a electric starter on, or a kick-starter on a 1984 200S, im tired of pulling that dam cord,and hurting my back in the processes.
thanks

There is a company i think they were call goki that made electric start kits for trikes. But they were pretty spendy.

You could look for a 200m tranny and put your top end on it and make a battery box for it.

Or just keep your eyes open for a 125m,200m,200e,200es, Any one of them had electric start.

[nitric]

would it work if i put one in ?and would it fit?
thanks

The 200s and m trikes were pretty much the same. I do know that the M models had a small indent in the lower part of the down tube to clear the starter motor. You should check to see that the S model has the same before attempting the switch.

thanks for the info

I agree i think the indent could be reproduced with a hammer but i dont know if any strenght of the frame would be comprimised in the process.

And the 200x motor would bolt in there and give you kick start. But i dont know if the kick starter would hit on anything in a 200s frame.

200s/m tried with his 200m electric start and it wouldnt fit.
P.S. I saw some ads in dirtwheels for not goki starters didnt apear all that expensive.

I dont think there would be any place to put a battery box on a 200s, because the place where the battery goes on the 200m frame has a plate covering it on the 200s. If you are interested I have a 1984 200m frame I would sell cheap. I don't know if everything from the 200s would bolt up or not.

Couldnt u just mount the battery where the trunk/toolbox is :confused:

[shannon96]

Yea you could probably do that.

You could also mout it on the solid swingarm, behind the tranny. It's solid and flat. Would just have to cover the batt.
