Can you make a 4 wheeler into a 3 wheeler, you know like a Raptor into a ATC????

dont do that...sell your three wheeler and buy a four wheeler. you will save money in the long run and you will have a better machine that you will be able to sell later if you decide you dont want it. they used to sell conversion kits in the 80s (and I think they still do) and they seriously depreciated the value of the machine they were put on, plus the cost between 1500-2500 dollars. $.02

I would also like to know if there are any companys out there that still make theese conversion kits. I have an old '86 200x in near perfect condition that I would love to convert for my son. I think he would be better off learning on a 4 wheeler than a 3.

It is stupid to ruin a perfectly good trike like that. Its not worth it! Also if your son learns on a 3 wheeler he will be a much better rider. Just put a block in the throttle.

I turned my ATC350X into a quad, I welded the front frame off my old suzuki lt230 onto the mid frame of the honda. Its pretty nifty, but I kinda regret the conversion. If I could have found a cheap 250X frame to mount the 350 motor in I would have opted for that.

hey vtweiner, if for any reason your son doesn't want your 200x let me know. Ive been looking for one in great shape and haven't had a whole lot of luck. Thanks

I heard a friend mention that you could buy a new fork for your three wheeler to convert it into a 4 wheeler. I have a 200s 1984 Honda. and wanted to try to convert it into a 4 wheeler if i could to make it a little safer incase my GF wanted to go Trail blazin just a thought if anyone knows where i could find one to order or find someone to make me one.

Thxs.
