I'm now the proud owner of a '83 YT175 ....

[Wickedfinger]

...... won it the other day. One of my dream trikes - a Hardtail pinger. Such simplicity. Shes a little rough but she runs like a top and has good, crack free plastics and new tires. Previous owner saw her sitting half under a tarp in someones back yard waiting for oblivion and rescued her.

[Billy Golightly]

Nice pickup Jon. I know Holic's little 175 is nothing to mess with, its pretty bad ass.

[42F67N]

I was watching that trike also but decided against buying another trike at this point,what did it end at ?

[03 ORANGE SHEE]

that is a nice complete one, you dont see that many of them or the 175 that often

[dovesprings250R]

nice score! have fun on the refurb. Looks like a fun trail bike.

[Unclediezel]

Congrats and whatever the internet equivalent of pitching a quarter at a friends new ride would be--( E- Good luck)
Any problems with Transport?- Did it fit ok?

[Wickedfinger]

.... man I was cursing you for a while!. I finally got it to fit in the back of the Durango by taking off the front tire, fairing and handlebars and loading it in backwards. It was pretty hairy there for a while but then it was all good. I should have just brought my trailer.

[350x'inNY]

I got a couple NOS HL Plastics for that.... going to put'em up on ebay soon.

[Unclediezel]

Sorry dude- Guess I shoulda asked the year- mine slid right in after the rear tires were off-No hard feelings????? best of luck--Gimme a shout when ya hit Maple run with it.

[Wickedfinger]

No hard feelings?????get outa here ...... please, everything worked out fine ..... lol.

[trikes4life]

I have one but, i'am not a proud owner, put 300 in to it and it still don't run. Looks nice though.

[angryyoung]

Wickedfinger or trikes4life..... feel like selling either of your pipes to me????? I deperately need one... theres one on eBay... but I dont have an ebay account or anything.

[holmstrom]

Would a yt125 pipe work on that?

[angryyoung]

i would love to know the answer to that, because YT175 pipes are RARE!

[Unclediezel]

No-the 125 pipes dont fit, ----or at least not directly.---E-bay account is the easy part--just go sign up----Finding your part is a lil tougher -so if its there and you need it ----go get it man!!!!!!!!!!lol

[Wickedfinger]

I may sound like a D*** here, but I do not feel sorry for you. Had you followed through in a timely manner ( 4 1/2 months ago ) you would have one now.

No reply about it ( that I can remember, I know there wasn't anything posted Publicly ).
Instead you posted this Ad 2 1/2 weeks later:

I didn't reply to that thread though. Why not? I felt you didn't want mine, so I listed it on Ebay. Then a day or 2 into the Ebay auction you PM'd me wanting me to end my auction early, and sell it to you ( You Failed to read the auction: I don't end my auctions early ). I pointed this out and told you to bid on it if you wanted it. You said Ok, you had some who would. Guess what they didn't bid ( the auction ended without any bidders ).
A couple months later ( after the auction ended ) you PM'd me again asking about it ( 1-2 weeks ago ). I didn't waste a reply. The moral to this story? If you would have follow through the first time you would have one.
Yea, I still have it, but I'm not going to play PM tag. I have every intention of listing it on Ebay with all the other YT175 and YT125 parts in one auction. I'm not going to play PM tag over it. $55 shipped to Canada ( Shipping alone is estimated at $26-$27 ). My info is in the sticker thread and the T-Shirt thread. Payment would need to be to me within 10 days from today ( No exceptions ) or it goes to ebay in the package deal.


Would a yt125 pipe work on that?
No, the 125's are different. I have one of each.

Wickedfinger, sorry to rant in your thread, but I felt the need. Now back to the topic. lol
I hope you have better luck with that machine than we have had with the ones we have owned over the years. Could ours have been a lemon( s )? if they were we got a whole bushel of them. lmao ;)

I sold them cheap because your a friend and because we are clearing the shop of any and all parts for these models. I need to make room for a huge lot of stuff we have comming. I was told there is 15-20 machines and enough parts to build more. No more details on this until I get them though. hehe

It has been over a month since I posted that. I thought I was VERY clear in my posting. But I guess not. I got NO reply what so ever. No Email, No Pm, No anything. Until Today.

Here is what I got 4 hours ago:

Did you sell that pipe on eBay, or do you still have it?


Totally unbelieveable............
