I want to see your homemade trikes. Were talking dirtbike to trike conversions,quad to trike conversions,Drag bikes with crazy motors,engine swaps, anything different from what the big 4 was selling.Ive got dreams of buying a tubing bender and building a trike of my own from curent production machines kind of like a mutt if you will.

This question leaves a lot of leeway here. Do you count trikes with aftermarket suspension kits? Tigers? Cagivas? Franks Racing? Husquavarnas? There were tons of trikes the big 4 weren't making, but used some of their parts. Then there were companies that converted over streetbikes and dirtbikes to 3 wheelers with a few simple parts. Then there were the aftermarket companies who would sell complete frames, but use engines from dirtbikes or streetbikes. I think more aftermarket conversions than homemade. And I'm sure they were a touch safer than some homemade trikes I've seen as well. Even though I've seen a few homemade trikes that have been mighty fine.

Nice Hooter girls!!! When i use to travel every state east of the Mississippi my coworker & I use to rate each state hooter girls. GA,KY,Tenn & CT were always the hottest.
In the mall of America MN they also have a Hooters on the 3rd floor. The best is they had a Pregnant Hooters girl and not like 3 months she was like 8 months. Now that was funny to see...

Bought this a couple of years ago. '85 350x with a 1974 CB 360 motor in it. Wound up parting it and I forced atctim to take most of it off my hands :lol:

trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro you? I've owned plenty of trikes and just cause I don't own one right now doesn't mean I'm not trying to find another 350x to restore. You guys are just as bad as dirtbikers, who the hell cares what I ride or what you ride. I love trikes just as much as quads, I bought a quad so I can race/compete which is NOT something I can do on a 3-wheeler out here.

Hey bud, too bad you dont live near OHIO or the sorts. I have to drive 5-8 hours every weekend we race. Im lucky enough to have some friends in medium places that will take me the rest of the way.
