Hi Guys,
Just bought my first trike, a very cool KLT 185 in pretty tidy condition, I'm pretty stoked on it. I went around to a mate's place and saw it sitting in his carport covered in dust, cobwebs and kids toys (see photo). 'Whatcha doing with that' I asked, 'Not much, gotta get rid of it actually' was the response so a few hundred bucks later she became mine.
Needed new front tyre, brake cable, muffler, spark plug and brake shoes but apart from that she runs really well, doesn't blow smoke, has good compression and plenty of power. I'll post a better photo soon.
I remember being a kid/teenager back in the 80s, checking out trikes in magazines and really wanting one but couldn't afford one and dad wouldn't have let me anyway (probably would have axed myself on one back then). So yeah I can't stop grinnin' now. Great site you got here, found heaps of useful info already (after a klt185 manual pdf??).
Cheers
