Ice racing plastic? I'm not sure what that is....there are low profile fenders, but I believe those are just the standard Maier plastics.....Compression is bumped up so you have to push start it?? It looks like a good deal, but that guy seems like a fast talker so be aware.

another excellent point..

I'll translate the add for you;

"I bought this trike from I guy and just rode it and never really learned anything about it. I'm trying to make the fenders seem extra special. The guy I bought it from said there was motor work done to it, but I did not do it personally. The kick starter mechanism is broke and I don't know how to fix it."

Then you’re in for an enlightenment... if you end up buying / riding the thing, you’ll never go Honda again

82 185s with suspension. So it's very possible. Just not as much suspension travel as a 200x, but way better than a plain hardtail.

It's all 185s except the bolt on rear frame section for the suspension and the aftermarket front forks. 200x exhaust pipe, since you can't go with through the frame exhaust cause the rear shock. I do have another frame though, but this one is a welded on kit, already installed on the frame. I should have another aftermarket front suspension as well.

^^ I could duplicate that swinger!! and looks like a Blaster shock!! Piece of cake (after 10 hours of machine and weld work tough, :lol:)

Did you get the PM on the 350X frame from Ryan, Pat?? I haven't looked in awhile, maybe in the winter something will arise...............

Sweet stuff...

Someone go check out that Tecate!! 84/85 I've seen to be very fast!
