Hate to be the one to tell you bro.......... but your motor is missing! :naughty: Looks to be in good shape to me, with a fresh motor you should be all set. Not surprised to hear your forks were shot....... that was the first thing i had to replace on my ES when I bought it. Felt like the front tire was bolted onto two cement blocks. Good luck with the build.

Looks like a pretty straight trike, my forks are seized too, anyone know if they can be bought new?

i think you need to find parts and rebuild them. when i get biggger rear tires i am going to raise them a bit and weld them in place mine are actually rusted inside

UPDATE: some new goodies for the engine and starting on the tank going to try some evapo rust in it it has some patches of rust in it, do i absolutley have to coat the tank after or can i wash it out dry it and refill with gas right after?http://img199.imageshack.us/i/dsc03620a.jpg/ and http://img194.imageshack.us/i/dsc03619g.jpg/
