I haven't been on a 3wheeler in 22 years! I switched to quads in 86. About 6 months ago someone gave me a 85 Yamaha 225 shaft 3wheeler. I cleaned the carb and it fired up. After 5 minutes riding, it all came back to me. I was hanging way off the fender in a full lock slide. It was way more FUN then my quads. I needed more!
I have since bought 6 more 3wheelers, but they even though they are more fun than my quads, they weren't as fast. You see my quads didn't use to be fast enough either, that is until I slammed a CR500 and a XR650 engines into them. This leads me to my plan.
I want a Honda XR650 3wheeler! The engine is counterbalanced, it has Mega torque, and has way more top speed then the CR500. (I GPS's my quad at 94 mph) After some measurements, I realized that the stock Aluminum motorcycle frame is very close to my 350x. I started planning the conversion. All my quad friends think I am insane. My wife just shakes her head and walks away. I really thought that I was the only person on the planet that would do such a thing! That is until I stumbled upon 3wheelerworld.com
I just never imagined that all you demented people are out there. I have been reading about all of your conversions and custom creations and I can't get enough. When I get this trike done, I'm gonna drive across the country to Trikefest. I'm glad you are all out there because I'll need some advice and help with my project. I would like to know what anyone thinks about my plan.
I'm back on 3.
