    I believe they're in NY. These are very futuristic looking with the way the seat and tank come together. I wonder how they ride? Gorgeous builds for sure

    Nice trikes! Any idea what the fenders and seats are off of?

    Did you put a tread up on your build? Sorry if I missed it. Link
    If you don’t mind.

    I'd be curious to know the seat height. They look a little too tall in that area, and a bit too "tippy" in the pics.

    I'm not sure, but aren't those seats off of a Suzuki LTZ400 or 450 quad? I would assume that the fenders are from the same model.

    The seat and fenders on mine are off a 2010 YFZ 450x. They look pretty close to those.

    I heated the seat pan with heat gun to get the seat angle to flow with the tank better.

    I don't know about those Husky builds, but the Yamaha 450 builds end up being about the same ride height as the YFZ 450 quad, mine turned out to be exactly the same height as my wifes YFZ. They end up physically being quite a bit bigger
    than a 250R all around. I have 3" extensions on my rear axle and it handles well.
    Stock length I believe would leave it quite "tippy" feeling.

    Very nice!!!

    Can I ask what your wheelbase and total width ended up being? Heck, I'd like to know every single dimension and angle if you have them available.

    Next time I roll it out I'll measure it up for you. I thought the size was going to be an issue but I ended up really liking it. It's more comfortable to ride because my knees aren't as bent and the suspension is 10 times better. The extra length works out well, you can use all the throttle you want without the front end lifting out of control. I've completely stopped any work or improvement to all my old trikes because it just feels like a waste of time now.

    WOW!! What beautiful builds, all of them!! My 350X now looks like a POS with all these conversions.

    Guess I have to build myself one...

    The guys who built these Husky conversions also sell pretty nice CRF 450R/X trike conversion parts. I have the website saved on my home computer and will post it here for you all when I get home this evening. The only issue I can see with them is the extremely high center of gravity from using the unaltered dirtbike suspension. Easy fix would be to shorten the forks and use a lowering link in the rear. Their parts look to be high quality and utilize TRX 450 seat, fenders, axle, bearing carrier, etc. The front custom triples utilize CRF forks with 85-86-250R hub with spacers and adapters to use CRF brakes and axle. I'm most likely going to use the triples in my next build that I am almost done planning and excited to share with everyone.
