    Let's see you're 'odd' trike mods - tire chains, custom paint, home-made etc!!!!!!

    I am looking for some inspiration on some 'uncommon' or even 'ghetto' (or redneck) mods.

    Looking for some with dual tires on each side in the back (5 tires total), maybe an axle and wheels on the wheelie bar, tire chains, home made plows/trailers/racks/treads/2 or 4 wheel conversion, etc

    I've seen the usual ones, mostly pristine trikes. I'm looking for some that may not be pretty, but have a cool feature.

    Have seen some on craigslist nation wide, never locally. Even if it's a crappy hack job, I want to see it. Have a few chain drive 200s laying around, may want to make something fun out of them.

    Here's my 110 with a 200x axle and disc brakes. it took a good bit of machining to get it to fit but I would do it again in a heart beat.

    Back in the 90s a company called Orbiters (spelling?) made foam inserts that went into your wheels and kept mud out. they did get water logged and heavy so guys would spray paint them to seal them up so they wouldn't soak up water. My brother might still have one in my garage, I'll look for it later on and post a pic if I can find it.

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    I got a nearly free ATC185 that I'm kind of fixing up. The seat itself needs to be recovered and the plastic frame directly below the seat is okay but the rest of the rear fender is all busted up. I was thinking of buying a pair of random matching dirt bike fenders at my local motorcycle junkyard and kind of bolting them to the side of the trike to give me cheap ass fenders. I'm also bought a set of cheap fog lights from Harbor Freight that I'm going to use as headlights.
