Thanks moe, that looks really professional. Nice to see you shot a few good deer. Was that with a rifle or bow??
Also how did you make the clamps that are on the end of the 200es forks??
Does it make the ride a bit smoother???
How did you rig up the front brake???
Does it feel funny with the front end higher up??

Thanks again

Matt

Hi Matt, all the dear were shot with a rifle.
I cut the clamps off the 185s forks and welded them on 200es forks,that let me use the 185s shocks.
I don't know if it's smoother, At the hunt was the frist time I've had this trike out,It feels nice with the ft end sitting hight.
I had to make a spacer to use the 200es axle,the brake slid right on,I still need to find a ft brake cable.

Moe,

Does the 185 fork legs fit right into the 200es fork tube???

[moe]

Matt,No the fork tubes are also from the 185.

What kind of exhaust do you have on the big red? It looks great. WHat brand of rear tires are on there?

[moe]

The tires are CHENG SHIN $60 CANADIAN. The exhaust I made my self from flexible steam pipe rated for 2400psi, It has a corrugated sleeve on the inside and a stainless steel wrap on the outside.
