some cleaned up photo's since it may never look this spiffy again

note to install atv tire you gotta get a longer chain and move the wheel back in its adjusters to about position 6-7 to have swingarm clearance up front, these bikes are pretty easy on chains so stretch is pretty minimal, I think the adjusters go out to about 9 or so, i'll leave it where it is should I get an atv chain for the rear for solo work in shoulder seasons and keep the clearance...so with pretty minimal work you can make a tw200 into this, it makes definition of chopper I suppose as I hacked a bunch off it, minimalized where I could (lighting), redneck chopper, or gas powered mule, the tugger straps front fender/rear are handy when you sink em, we've drowned them many times in a day but get it out, drain airbox and away they go again, they seem to suffocate before they waterlock (touch wood we haven't waterlocked one yet), they are pretty unkillable and we do some stupid stuff at wrong times of year out there

I have a stealth mode also as I almost always ride in day and offroad only where I snipped the high beam wire, with high beam switch on I have no headlight, tail light and blinkers still work and should I get caught in dark I just flip switch back down to main beam and headlight good to go, not sure if USA bikes have always on headlights like Canadian stuff but just a tip in case you do and run mostly offroad for exploring etc.

almost forgot, some tw200 should know's...

1. you will never win any races on one
2. you will never pick up any chicks on one
3. dogs CAN catch you (borrowed that one from another tw200 owner who found that one out lol)

Cover a lot of country on them.

Bit tricky carrying skull caps though, can be a bit dangerous with antlers.

Jager, I'd probably own one of these if I could find one, the xr400 is possibly the ultimate trail rig ever...they never should have stopped making the xr400! I like your style.

Stinky how's that rear tyre go, certainly be a good footprint on terra firma?

Yeah, no idea why Honda stopped making them, they are a top bike, it just likes to throw me off regularly. I checked out that fx bike, they would be a weapon and a half I reckon.

But you really like the colour of my bike don't you, no eye saw can't see em colour.

Ya and u guys lucky to get street legal xr's we have to put on kits and change tires etc. Then find the right inspection place to get em legal and they cracking down and making tougher. I was close to doing an xr600 motard for street but shy away at end cuz wasn't sure if I'd get legal or not and the hassle of it all. I'm a sucker for simple air cooled singles!

A bone stock tw200 will go a ton of places I'm sure many would not expect, one does not need to do the stuff I did, I really like the little bike and know I may be it's last owner so tweaked how I wanted. Tough little bike u don't get thrown off, as said, no speed or momentum required, it will paddle foot pretty much anywhere, safe and stable.

I kept waiting for the bikes to get closer in size and scope to mine that I will be using during 1st rifle:

And in regards to staying on the trail? At 460 lbs this one wont be going far off of it, that I can guarantee!
