[TrikesRule_FOOL]

Nice I have the same exact one sitting in my shed. All original some minor fender scratches from riding. It has only been riding a handful of times since 1994. I'll have to dig it out and clean it up for some photo's. It's buried behind a ton of junk right now.

[Tri-ZNate]

Trail Pros shens

[Bryan Raffa]

Trail Pros shens

[ScottZJ]

Nice snag for sure! My new yammer had the same aweful tires on it. Hey if you want to sell that rear grab bar and tail light, mine is needing one bad. :D

[300rman]

Trail Pros shens

[TwoHundredEx]

Looks like it cleaned up pretty nicely.

[WaimakRydah]

Trail Pros shens

this will probably sound like an idiotic question but ive heard about these "Trail Pros" in afew threads relating to yamaha trikes and was wondering. What exactly are they?

[Bryan Raffa]

HEAVY CHEEP TIRES..after a nuclear fall out the only thing that will be left is cockroaches and trail pros..:eek:

Trail Pro populations have outnumbered OHTSU Tires. Seems like every pos atv I see has a set on 'em, oh and your DX Raffa ;) shens

[Bryan Raffa]

[Gag_Halfront]

It's the battle trike's long lost twin!

I think your bike is the good twin and the battle trike is the evil twin, though.

The battle trike is protected by a special coating that make sit highly resistant to "clean".

[edog]

Does a Tri Z front end fit?

[Bryan Raffa]

NO it does not .. the tripple tube is flared out and will not fit through the frame neck

My BW front end is the same way...I tryed both

[brapp]

git it ragg man i seeis that what ya got for my b-day lol

[maggiesboy]

looking good on the progress..... how many machines are you working on at the same time Raffa?

[drhatc200]

in response to the trail pros i got them on my 200x and everything ive had them in thay seem to do good. but people say put something different and you will tell a difference. havent got the money for good set right now. im looking at the scorpion by kenda from dennis kirk.the trailpros was on it so im gonna run them till i can geta better set.

[Bryan Raffa]

[Huffa]

Starting Issues... New battery,,still starting issues,,

Pulled the starter and opened it up .. sealed starters after 30 years..ya it was nasty..
Sprayed down with carb cleaner and tooth brush.. Noticed that the brushes are getting low (will order)..
cleaned armature,Shell/caseing..ect..assmbled exactly the way it came apart, Being careful to set aside both O rings before spraying with carb cleaner, or they will swell.

[Bryan Raffa]

assmbley.. new Grips and light switch
carefully install O rings
before installing the starter grease it up good! keeps the water out!:idea:

[Bryan Raffa]

and this is what you get...

[Bryan Raffa]

[QUOTE=oldtime3wheeler;796040]I like how the front rack is above the headlight so it doesnt get blocked while night riding.[/QUOTE

thats off a YTM200ERN:beer


spotlight and Bow/gun holder are on, Bought another new battery,and the brushes take a dump in the starter:( , Also put some new rope in the pull start..(good thing). gotta hit up Radioshack for a female cig lighter for the spotlight and get it wired up..1 mil candle watt.:naughty:

[Bryan Raffa]

Finally got the cigarette lighter hooked up and all hard wired in. Also got my Battery tender all wired up also... no more dead battery... back her in and plug it in.. got a nice quick connect if I wanna take the Ammo box off the back.:D
