    Atc storage

    Hello 3ww I have once agian come for advice. I am running out of space in my storage unit and need to fit two more trikes into it. I have seen pictures of people storing their trikes on the grab bar with the front wheel up in the air. It would for sure save space but how do I do it safely. Do I need to drain all fluids? Obviously batteries will come out. My main concern is leaking fluids.

    Thanks,

    Store my 350x like that. Just drain carb, make sure fuel level is low in the tank. Simple as. Let it sit a while before you kick her over when's she's back on all 3s.

    They used to store them that way at the Honda dealer.

    There is no problems with storing them this way. It's been a time tested question with the same results every time. Stand em up proudly!

    I saw a really nice set up on here some years back. Shelves were made and a set of machines on each shelf. It'd look good, but anything over the 2nd layer would be a pain to swap machines out I'm sure!

    Someone on here has a mechanical elevator system set-up. I'd try and search for it but I'm at work right now.

    ^^^Crazy70man has a home made trike elevator made out of a winch. I am sure there is a thread about it. It has been a few years, and it still works great. You shouldn't have a problem storing them on the grab bar though.

    I have a shelf I built that I can wheel machines up onto and put others under. I can fit rear to rear 3 wide or of rear to front 5 wide on bottom and 3 wide side by side or front to rear 4 on top. that is a total of 9 trikes on a shelf if stacked deep but I got a big shelf. I am about to redo it and cut it in half width and loose about 4 ft in length. It will hold 2 on top and 4 on bottom when done.
