    YZ 490 Conversion

    Hello folks I picked this gem up right down the street from me in Orange, CA on Sunday. It appears to be a YZ 490 converted to a trike. I am trying to figure out if this was a kit that was available or just a garage conversion. Forks and triple clamp are really nice. Someone asked if it was possibly an old 3B bike, which I doubt, but the original fenders are yellow. Any input or info would be greatly appeciated!

    It may not be an original 3B bike but I bet I could make it look a lot like one with what you have.
    It's definitely Old School Cool!

    That's a sweet trike! I wish you luck on reviving it, it's gonna be a beast when it's up and running again.
