Trikeaholic
04-18-2003, 10:42 PM
well, thanks for the compliment. I aint bragging, but I think my collection is pretty darn interesting. I am into all 1980's stuff, cars, trikes, music. I have a real interest in the aftermarket parts for of that era for my trikes. I just picked up what I believe to be a Hi-Performance ATV (company) KX60 to KXT60 conversion kit, and have alot of vintage aftermarket on my YT175, including the rear suspension conversion. Of course, the TIger, but I dont find that as unusual as the kits that I have found latley. My other trikes are basically stock, the usual bolt ons, nothing special. Although they all are pretty dang clean. The only one thats been frame up'ed is the Tiger for now. and I just started the Tecate 60 tonite. here is a pic of my Tecate 250, since everyone is posting Tecate pics

Hey Glen, make your addy in your sig. a link by putting: with the address in the space, and you get this: yamahaworld.tripod.com

sportvette- can't leave out Joel85350x. By what we know of his resto, I personally do not know of a nicer 350X!!
Tom batts- very nice trike,but my vote goes to Joel,sorry!

Now, might not be nicest, rarest, mintest,pertiest,stockest(?) SX on sight. But it's.........................MINE!!!! :-P :-P :-P

04-19-2003, 07:54 PM
MR ATC's 400X was pretty damn hot.

Hey MIK6....what are those tires (size & type) on the back of that one 86/87 T3? They look almost like front tires...maybe 10 inch rims? I love those....gotta have em...

not the pudyest not the bestest not even done yet (headlight back ordered) but looks better than it did my lil x.
we need a poll on the most ragged out rat trike i have that in the form of a 85 350x (gonna restore)

Honda300ex
04-20-2003, 11:18 AM
Digger.... I think you need alittle white or blue in there. But still its a nice trike compare to how it looked when you got it...

DIGGER DOG
04-20-2003, 11:26 AM
I agree honda 300ex actually the paint doesent match cant tell from pic
but tank and frame are lighter than plastics i didnt use pj 1 primer so i couldent clear coat i did clear coat the frame and it orange peeled had to re sand and paint.the top of seat on top of gas tank is tearing so i may get a blue seat and re paint tank white . i definately agree too much red.
we learn from our mistakes its my first resto.

Honda300ex
04-20-2003, 11:29 AM
Yeah, maybe start with a blue seat and white tank fins??? That last post was my 300 post!!!!!! Now i am on 301. Wish my project would get here........ :evil: :x

DIGGER DOG
04-20-2003, 11:53 AM
I may just go back to orig.color scheme white tank,black seat (cover)silver engine skid and swing arm

Honda300ex
04-20-2003, 11:57 AM
That would be nice but maybe a blue seat cover??? I like that alot b/c that is how my dads old 200x was.. Here is a pic of me on it when i was five... It was mint and he sold it for $650 to some kids that blew it up.. :x
I still have those back tires today they are on my 300ex long live the strykers!!!!!!

DIGGER DOG
04-20-2003, 12:04 PM
yea the black seat is orig. for the 83-84 i think but since the trike is not stock (extended axle,turf tamers + itp rims,twist throttle,old era k&n handle bars) may be a blue seat would be appropriate i too like the red white and blue color scheme.

i think tom has the nicest 350x here

Joel85350X
04-21-2003, 05:06 PM
Ditto on Tom Batts' 350X. My 350X is maybe one of the nicer modified trikes but Tom's is the best original condition trike. Always brings a smile to my face, Tom.

04-21-2003, 09:35 PM
I think I have the MOST Rare ATC 1985 250R, ITs all Yellow and Chromed out, if you want proof, email me and I will send a pic.

Its a long thread so why not throw up a few more pics.Tim sr,,lol you almost need a chemical suit and mask to walk in my garage nowadays.Right now my Tri-Z's are covered in dust b/c I havent touched them in a few months,lots of armor all on them though :0
Back in 99 when I started coming here there were only about 15 trikes to choose from.I thought mine(tri-z's)were the best looking until Hagen threw up some pics of his.I dont come here enough anymore to remember who's is who's but there are a ton of nice trikes here.Trikeaholic has a rare collection of butes.Howdy has the most.MIK6 and Jeb are the Tecate kings.Waterpumpers is clean too. Tom Batts has the nicest honda.The guys at Kearney have all of us beat.
...Anyways,heres my pics.

All trikes are nice!!
Full of mud or pristine, they all look good!
Heres mine.....

CHAINSAW
04-21-2003, 11:23 PM
I like that Tri Z with the blue and pink. Original looking is boring to me ( I know most of you disagree) I love to see trikes that someone has a theme to, and makes them wild and out of the ordinary. Its true that wild will turn more heads, but on the other hand, the real trike lovers do appreciate an original piece.

Cokera
04-21-2003, 11:29 PM
I'll say that a original bike is very cool, BUT I am going to customize mine quite a bit. Thats what wanted in the 1st place. But its really cool if you keep all the original stuff intact and adds to the value if you ask me.

BTW looks like a new site has begun there huh? {Gotta love the net man}

86250RZ
04-24-2003, 02:03 PM
Here are the pics of my 86R. So far my vote goes to tombats 350X, thats about as mint as you can get for an 18 year old trike.

85250Rfanatic
04-24-2003, 08:22 PM
DARN!!! That is the finest ATC 350X I've ever seen. I thought my uncle Derek had the finest trike (86250RZ). I have to say he has the 2nd cleanest now, but the 1st cleanest 250R. I have to hand it to you Tom Batts,that is a beautiful trike. I bet he had to pay a arm & leg for it, too. Anyway my vote is for Tom Batts 350X. I'd say my 85 250R is clean, since it is 5 years older than me :shock:. My newer pics are here and thanks for ya'll givin me the comments on it.

plkmonster2
04-24-2003, 08:25 PM
yeah, i have to agree, tom batts has absolutely the best 350x around. i wish i had it... :rolleyes:

Honda300ex
04-24-2003, 08:26 PM
Heres Coyleatc's 250r... I think it is pretty nice, he asked me to post them for him 8)

85250Rfanatic
04-24-2003, 08:37 PM
Don't know if it caught your eye, but i have a Kawasaki Tecate swingarm on my r. By the way Howdy, you need to have a Trikefest as close to Louisiana as possible, if that is possible. Thanks

04-24-2003, 08:42 PM
I didn't catch that, I thought it was just painted :?

Jeb
04-25-2003, 09:13 AM
85250RFanatic, saw the Tecate swingarm on your R! :shock: Before you posted, I thought it was aluminum and maybe you were one of the lucky few to have a cal-fab swingarm. it's gotta be a Tecate 4 swingarm. did the R bearing carrier slip right into the Tecate carrier? or did you have to use the whole tecate rear end? how bout the swingarm pivots? did they match right up? how do you like the aluminum swingarm?

very cool bit of customization! :-D

Hey holic, howcome you haven't ridden your Tiger? has the motor even been run? I know it's rare and getting and replacing parts is probably killer, but If i ever got my hands on a tiger i would definitely drive it

05-12-2003, 12:43 AM
hey ausatc70 on trailprotrailpro 75' 70 are the rear fenders custom made, and wut kinda pipe is that on it?

ausatc70
05-12-2003, 12:59 AM
yeah i had a mate make the guards for me out of sheet metal i reckon they look ok. i would love to restore it back to original but there would be some big $$$ involved. the pipe is custom made and is similar in design to the white bros e series pipes you can buy for xrs n stuff. i want to rebuiled the motor as its getting a bit long in the tooth but i also want to increse capacity. do u know how far they can be bored?? or if a larger capacity head will fit?? gotta get a new front guard as the one on it is a bit dodgy, i can get a repoduction one in color of choice for aus$55 but it is made from fibrglass? dont know if i could get a oem plastic one and it would prolly cost a fair bit.
