Well, after my knee fracture I wasn't able to go up, I'm not going to drive 800 miles just to pick it up. So, once again I have to wait till next summer. I try not to think about it, because it just makes me miss it more. :(

Is about time I update this, so anyways its now at the halfway point, and hopefully in may I will have time to go get it and bring it home, I've been digging for parts and I'm going to do a desert tan paint job on it. Oh yeah, I found out it's an 1985, and to add to that I was looking through the articles and found this.

Those are 85 bigwheel 200's! Lol!

Well, well, well. The time has come.
After many years I finally came about and retrieved the big wheel.
It's been a big of a project and still isn't finished but it's getting there.
It mainly needs a few more cosmetics.
This was that first year I rode it.

Repainting and replacing missing bolts.




New parts...




Last thing was getting the headlight working, but the tail light needs wiring as well.

It runs much better now. After doing 2 oil changes to get the gunk out, a new oil filter and an air filter. I also found out that the engine was missing 2 bolts attaching it to the frame so it is actually held in place now. I also put on new sprockets and chain as the old ones were worn and so was the chain. It idles kinda funky, but once its warmed up its fine. And it hauls butt now too.
I will post a video after it uploads.

So an update on the bike, its been running really well and I still need to get the seat redone and some other things.
The only issue is that sometimes I get power loss and I think it may be carburetor related. so I'll either replace it with a better one or clean out the old one.
