    KTM 300 xc trike conversion

    I've been thinking hard about a modern trike conversion. I also have friends with KTM 300 xc's and they love them. Has anyone ever converted a modern KTM two stroke to a trike? I did some looking but didn't see anything on the web.

    I haven't seen one. Closest I've seen to a KTM trike would be El Camexican. Try looking up his Tri-z build.

    I agree. Go for it. What are your thoughts on the parts selection? Swing arm? Rear end? Persuade an axle carrier from something else? adapt a different swinger? Counter/Output shaft to rear chain alignment? Different frame?
    I just wanna go fast. If your not first, your last!!

    FYI - the KTM quad swinger bolts directly into the KTM bike chassis. Thought you might enjoy this tid bit of info.

    The KTM 300xc is a 300 two stroke. Interesting about the swinger.
