any ideas i have a 85 big red, and a 81 250r, would like to slap my wrecked cr900 motor in the 85 big red but unsure on how, because its no chain driven.
seen the other guy with the cr750 in one. i know its crazy idea but i would like to try.

Yeah, "good luck" is about all we can tell you. I honestly have no clue how you're going to do this.

if you were talking about the trike i posted up...that was done by a dealer 20 years ago, with infinite funding and some master fabbers. lol.

now if youw anna put it in a golf cart

google it, it can be done.

if you arent a excellent fabricator, or a good mechanical problem-solver, dont bother trying. you will just ruin the trike.

if you are decent at fabrication, and are PATIENT, you can do it. just dont rush.

Good Luck

I always thought most of the bike to 3 wheeler conversions were made using the frame/motor from the donor bike, and a suspended atc swingarm and such, maybe thats just for dirt bike conversions. Either way you go i agree that its not going to be an easy thing to make happen, and it will take a lot of trial and error with machining/welding...

yeah it might be alot easier to build a rear end and just use the bike frame. like the one in the pic, anybody know what rear end or how to start that conversion,

What I would do is find an old 185,200, or 200x rolling chassis and put that bad boy in that! Unless you can find an 1100 Gold Wing shaft drive motor to put in the shaft big red I would leave the Big Red alone.

I don't see why it wouldn't, if it breaks then replace it with a cut down older model subaru 4x4 rear end. Then you could but on some monster mudder or paddle tires. :Bounce

Wow this sounds fun! I might have to talk to some friends.. I'm sure I can find an ol trike to add life too. :beer
