This is the final Tionesta Trikes 450 built before becoming Jake the Snake customs. I am honored to own it. I picked it up from Jake and Tim weeks before Trikefest and tried my best to have it done in time but it was not to be. I knew the left engine case had been damaged and poorly repaired by the previous owners but it looked like it would be good enough to hold at least long enough to get through Trikefest. I was wrong. So it got pushed to the side while I have feeding my car addiction. However the last few weeks I have really had my 3 wheeler jones on so hopefully I'll be pulling it back out soon to finish it.
As you can see I'm going for a 85 250R look. Gold swinger and hubs, blue seat, red everything else. Still need to have my decals made. Anywho, here's how it sits as of now..... "IF" everything goes according to plan I'll be starting on my Cagiva once this one is finished...

I remember watching jake weld on that one at tims when we were rained out for a race. Wow...he does some great work.....tig welding not as easy as the pros make it look. He was letting me weld on a scrap piece in a vice, freakin hard to do man! Love the 250r scheme, nice work.

Looking GREAT Eric! Can't wait to see it all together. Just my opinion, but some gold wheels would really set that bugger off!

Yeah, the original plans called for gold wheels but I wanted to use my 10 inch front rim on this one. Who knows, I may swap them out.
