Lord of the trike
Kasey-- as always, I am impressed with your builds! Well done Sir!
No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

These Builds make the gears in my head turn. What years of bikes have you used? I have been doing some part number searching on line today and seems like a guy could easily build one of these out of a yz250 as well. Looks like they both seem to use the same swingarms. WR seems enticing to me being street legal titled. I know your a busy dude but details please? I'd love a winter project and some incite on which parts to start looking for would be cool.

Old Bods require lots of TLC..........LoL Ol Deucethese 2 machines have the exact same rear suspension,, the difference is the trike has a +4 length over the stock length of the quad,,, it handles like a dream ... I did not shorten the forks because I wanted more cushy travel for this old body,,,,,,, as you can see in the picture they look pretty much the same from the tank back,,,, because they are including the stock airbox . same shock linkage and shock,, I cant wait to get my white one done so I can set it next to my white yfz too!!!!!
DO the Best With What you got !

Hi Kasey
I'm putting together the parts for one of these machines. I've got a doner yfz, an extended yfz swing arm, extended axle, hubs, wheels, custom atc250r ten inch rim, and a set of raked vtx triples.
I was looking at doing a steel frame one because I thought it would be the easier conversion, but I noticed you've use an intermediary bracket between the rear sub frame and the main frame on that alloy frame yzf.. Is that a custom bracket or is it a cut of a yfz frame?
Also I've managed to pick up a set of raked 3deg vtx triples, this will reduce the trail of the completed machine. This should lighten the steering a bit. Admittedly, I won't know the resultant trail until the whole thing is bolted together. In your experiences do you think a raked triple clamp will cause some handling problems. Regarding Your conversions thus far, using standard VTX triples, how's the steering? Heavy like a standard tri z, our light like an 87 tecate 3?

I'm really eager to hear how the steering feels on one of these machines as well
