Who here flips trikes?

[MrConcdid]

I think it is the same, people who can afford a toy, have land to use it, So if I have land and money and 14 days off, I would enjoy riding around the property on a new vintage Honda.
I kept my distance and met outside. lol

Yea, would be kind of silly to buy an atv, but then live in the middle of the city and can't ever ride it with out a road trip involved. Same logic of owning a boat in a desert. I did sell my old enduro bike to a co-worker which lived in the city. He had a truck to transport it but still seemed silly to me. I would go crazy living in the city though, so maybe there's a whole different viewpoint from someone that lives in the city.

I have flipped dozens. Even sold a few.

Badum tsss.

Heres one I built for 100 dollars and sold for 450 about 5 years ago

[Maynard James]

This one I bought for 200 and built a custom 10:1 compression engine for using an XT225 piston and a shaved head. My brother owns it now.





It looks different now with Mudlites on the rear. The motor is very powerful. We sent the head to Zforce and had him serdi cut it port it and shave it. Some might balk but it is surprising. No 4 wheeler up to 500cc will outrun it.

Another DX that was built from 2. Had around 475 into this one and sold for i think 1800. (Been a while)

[Maynard James]

Here is one that I built to be 50 state street legal and rode 1300 miles in 5 days from Arizona to Nebraska. Cost me around a hundred, maybe 200 to build. Sold for over 2 grand. Shouldnt have. I could easily build one again.

[MrConcdid]

Now your talking. Great looking flips.

I had planed to keep this one, I really like the 200m wider front end, it handles great. but I want to use it to finance my 200x build, now that I have the X and knowing it needs a complete rebuild and a kickstart spring and backcut, I think it may get a little expensive. So Since it turned out so good, lets see if it will make a buck. It is a risk, there isnt much market for race styled bikes, I may have to swap the tires out and add a rear rack to sell it. lol. we will see.
I have a trick L.E.D. headlight set up on order, let see if it make it here in time.

Sad to say, I Sold Smokey Joe, as a Flat track style ATC, customer liked the wider lower stance so Its off to a good home.
and I am off, to hunt for some more atc.

That's a lot of smoke, probably more money than what it's worth to fix unless you cut corners anyway, probably best to sell it as is to someone. With that much smoke, I'd dare to say broken ring. I just helped someone with an ATC110 that smoked like that and that was their case atleast.

[MrConcdid]

It wasn't that bad PS2fixer, Basic top end rebuild new: hone piston, rings, valve guide seals and lap the valve the exhaust port was almost completely closed off from carbon build up.The muffler was slammed full as well, I had to remove the baffle and clean the inside and really blow it out once I rebuilt the top end. then put the baffle back.
It runs great now, no its not perfect but it dosen't smoke anymore, starts right up (electric) and pulls hard through all the gears, so far it was my favorite flip.
What more can you ask?
As for cost yeah I was chasing that one a bit, but in the end it turned a good profit well worth the effort.

[ps2fixer]

I see, just someone rode it till it started smoking, and just kept riding it for the next 10 years lol.

I usually like OEM original - but this build is awesome. Nicely done.

Oh the Quarantine...... Well I got to feed my flipping addiction. So off I go,

Not only did I pick up this sweet 200m, named "Wacissa" small town in North Florida where it came from, I made an investment into myself and bought this sporty little 6x10 trailer, so I can haul more atc's seems like when I find 1 there is always another near by. I have a big 24ft equipment trailer but wanted something small to get in tight places.
This 200m "Wacissa", just needs some TLC and a tank and fenders. It should be a quick flip, I have already got it up and running and it rides good. Out of all the hardtails I like the M the most.

MrC.

[ps2fixer]

Nice, you should be able to fit about 4-6 3 wheelers on that trailer if you stack them in right =).
