those things are just way too expensive, im talking about more of a ghetto suzuki rm125 trike.

Might pay to have a good look in the http://www.3wheelerworld.com/forumdisplay.php/41-Mad-Scientists-Lair - I remember someone mentioning about a build of the same thing. I believe this is close to what you're trying to look for http://www.3wheelerworld.com/showthread.php/46119-CR250R-Conversion-to-ATCR250R except with a smaller bike.

From what i understand you'll need to modify the rear half of the frame to allow for dual wheels, Shorter shocks, and quite a bit of fabricating.
It might actually be easier to just buy a atc 90/110 and slap a rm125 in it?

I think he is just trying to throw something together and not spend any money or very little of it.

Theres i think a KLX that has been converted from a two wheeler to a trike, It looks ridiculous with the height it has and the seeing the guy try turn around on it is hopeless. It's on youtube somewhere.

Screw mini bike conversions. BC Redneck will build you a trike from a couple of bed frames and whatever else you have laying around.

That one in the picture is exacty what I was imagining. And being a BC redneck myself I was kinda figuring to put one together with a couple of bedframes or whatevers sitting around in my garage.
