I'm new to the three wheelers, and just started to collect some. the main reason that I started was that i wanted to build a fat cat. Right now i have a 110,chain drive big red,shaft drive big red and a 250sx. If I was to pick one to build a bike out of, which one would be the best one to use? This is going to be put in and out of a boat, which will be much eaiser than a trike. More of a utilty type bike than a sport bike.

Hows the sx working out? I kind of like the idea of having reverse. Is it geared alright? I will be mostly doing trails and logging road,nothing too fast or jumping. the 70 is cute and light. i have a 110 which is pretty much the same. What did you use for a back wheel,sprocket etc?

The SX gear ratio is almost the same as the original trike,maybe 3-4 mph faster,the reverse is very usefull for a 2 wheel of this weight.

The 70 use a 110 chinese atv motor,the rear and front wheel and front fork are from an atc125,the rear swinger is from a yamaha dt175,need to be modified alot to fit the larger wheel and monoshock.The rear hub is an atc125 hub modified to install a sprocket on it.
