Well after some help from you guys with deciding what motor to use I have decided to go with a KFX450r Engine as my powerplant. I was think about a KFX400 or a KX500 but you guys were right, just do the 450 engine.
The Trike will be a 1986 Tecate. I plan on doing a Green, Black, and Chrome/ polished aluminum look and color scheme. I plan on running a headlight.
For suspension I plan on puttting on a set of 2005 KX250 Front Inverted Forks with a custom triple tree. I am also looking at different swingarm options, I may just go with a standard Tecate swingarm but am looking at other possible swingarms like the yfz450, Trx450r, KFX450 swingarms as the aftermarket will be easier to get. I paln on doing around a 5-6 inched extended swingarm with a +2 axle.
As for the powerplant I will be adding a little more power with a port & polish and some minimal work for now but once all done may add more. I also plan on making a custom Dual exhaust. I know there is no performance gain here but its louder and it looks cool.
I plan to spend $3,500-$5,000 between bike parts and machining. I know some good connections to get good deals on machining and I will be doing all my own polishing. I am expecting this project to take me until the end of May to where I can test it out on the dunes and then tour the coast with it and my custom 250r.
Any suggestions you guys have let me know. I will be posting pics as I go and will be explaining what I am doing as I go. I am plonning on doing many more projects like this over the next years that includes the 84-85 Tecate, 350x, 200x and the 83-84 250r and the Tri-Z.
