So how many people would hate me for cutting this up? I would, if it weren't $3500, but I know there would be some unhappy people. Not my usual forum thread but........http://www.ebay.com/itm/Other-Makes-...US_motorcycles

That's a double edged sword there. On one hand you have a beautiful vintage two wheeler that many in it's condition probably no longer exist, but on the other hand, probably the nicest start you will ever come by for a Tricky Dicks 500 conversion. Seeing your work and knowing you're not a hack, I would be in favor of you getting out the saw, but only if the proper parts for the conversion were already sitting there.
Sometimes you just gotta go against the grain in order to come up with some cool shite.

Teaching quads a lesson
If I had a Tricky Dicks 500 kit on the shelf I would do it in a heartbeat. I think they only made one of them and that has been located. The "cutting up" is a figure of speech. All of their kits were bolt on as far as I know. The 200 certainly was.
Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.

I agree with Orangecnty if I understood him correctly. Figure out a way to keep the original chassis uncut and build it.
just make sure the AHRMA guys and CALVMXers on bikes don`t see it! Then you might get mean-mugged a little.
I would ask myself this: "Are there other WMX500`s out there? Probably. Are there more of them than CAGIVA 500 trikes? Yes.".....build it.
no brainer IMO

Cut it up, its not like anyone is going to race vintage motocross on that thing.
It would be a sick 3 wheeler though.
