    1000x - Drag Racing 9/3/2012

    So I had a 1000 sport bike motor and a busted up 350x frame. Only seemed reasonable to combine them. Turned out to be a pretty fun little trike. Check it out.

    A whole lot of motor is an understatement.

    It handles pretty good considering what it is. It's not the prime rig for jumping but its perfect for cruising the long, straight, flat trails around where I live. So far its only been up to about 80 mph but that was only 2nd gear so I think there is more left in it.

    Yes, wheel spin can be accomplished at seemingly any speed. I had to build a gas tank that fits under the seat where the air box used to be. You can see it in the 4th picture on my original post.
