Looks like a good start to a nice machine. At least parts are cheaper for the 84-85 when compared to the 86-87, for the most part at least. Will the motor run? Good luck!

RIP Trace.. Godspeed.
What kind of flat track tire is pictured on the blue frame?
Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.
