1983 yamaha tri moto 225dx project

I don't have any experience with skis since it usually doesn't snow enough here to need one. That said, it looks good to me. Your limiting factor is always the rear tires. Once they sink, you're done.

I'm planning on running paddle tires in the rear.

That will help some.

Here is a closer look at what I built. Everything will be welded together using square tubing and flat stock, and where the shaft goes through the "frame" there will be 2 carrior bearings built into it. The shocks will be supported by steel and framed in with the rest .

I also have a pair of those ITP Blackwaters that I use on my 350X in the sand. I call them "semi paddles". They work fairly well in snow up to about 4" deep. Much deeper and they don't work so well. I included a peek inside my "compressor room" at some of my extras.

I actually got the black waters for my warrior for grass drags, I want paddle tires like the ones in your second pic

The V paddles are for my Tecate4. The straight ones at the bottom are pretty worn. I got those for cheap from someone at the Midwest trike Rampage in 2013. I can't remember who from. Maybe jb2wheels? In the box, is a pair of aftermarket 400ex rims that are on my 350x right now and the tires in plastic are the Cheng Shin c828 Lumberjacks that are on the back on my YTM225.

Thanks again for the info !!!

Here is a random pic I took today of the 3 wheeler with the moto 4 250 rear fenders.

The swing arm bearings are shot in the 250.

Those fenders look like they were made for the trike.

[IIIhellbillyIII]

They fit perfect other than the cobra pipe hits the rubber

The 2 heads I have are different, or something is missing on one ?

Yes. The first one doesn't have a rocker shaft or arms.

[IIIhellbillyIII]

And 4 bolts snapped off of it. That is the head I got with it so I'm going to use the one I bought

Good idea.

The top end gasket kit came in on Thursday so I'm hoping to have it together this weekend
