That's great! Something different than the restored trikes. I think the only thing I would change if it were mine would be to paint the tank and engine flat black like the rest.

i had (kinda still have) one like that but it wheelie's way too easy ..... i think the top pic looks the best but its your dream

Usually i paint all in black,..my 200m was all black! But now one of my friends have one all black,...and want to be little different!! So my new concept is to keep the gaz tank stock( in remember to the origine of the trike,LOL)!!

......And for those who prefere the first pic,....I can tell you, if you have drive the before(pic) and after, drive the after(pic) ,...
You'll maybe change your idea!!.......Its the day and night!!

Ok, It seem clean before so,... it just like clean (on the first pic)
And me too I like an original one(stock I mean), but this one one was destinate to go racing with my bunch of trikers!!!
