Has anybody else noticed that it has a Westcoast swingarm, aset of H-tracks,looks like maybe an older durablue axle. It's close to me,but not close enough. I hope someone that will respect it for what it is, will pick it up. It might be a real "Diamond in the rough". Also looks in the one picture like it had numbers on the rear fenders, maybe a sign of its past.

Holic, look at the first picture that pops up when you go to the auction. On the swingarm you can see the white paint and if you look close you can see the blue 'W' where it once said Westcoast. That thing looks barn fresh.

From the way the dude talks in the description, he doesnt know his head from his foot. He probly just somehow got it in his possesion and the previous owner kept all the pipe/engine stuff.... Atleast thats a good explanation, but who knows.

Easiest way to tell thats a WestCoast swingarm is looking straight in from the back. Look at the aluminum bracket on top of the swingarm that linkage strut bolts too. Dead give-away. It has a two position mount but its hard to tell that from the pic.

That's exactly what I'd like to find local. an 85 with that swingarm and axle. and to think I used to have two 84/85 WestCoasts. :(

Is the seat on that trike shaved down or are they always that thin? Why is the vice grip clamped onto something on the pipe side? Cool bike, I wish I live close to that.
