I just got this find yesterday, thought it was an 86 till i started looking at it further. It needs a lot of work. It came with a motor. ill well be needing a swingarm and rear suspension setup. Any help would be great.

What is the little black plastic knob in the first pic? I was thinking a keyed ignition, until I saw it looks like something to aim your headlight..

RIP Trace.. Godspeed.
Its the keyed ignition
nice rolling chassis!!
How did you pay for this?
whats wrong with the swingarm? Is the rear brake caliper with a parking brake?
Its good for a start, you have the light bracket, and the air filter box that are rare to find!!!
the swingarm is a little beat up around the pivot, and yes the whole rear brake is there same with the front. what would be a good price for one of these. dont forget i did get a complete motor with it.
All the swingarm were like this because they didn't use to change the chain slider, they were out of stock.
It can be easily fixed if you have someone who welds alunimium.
What are your plans for this trike?
A restoration or you thing of parting it out?
yes i am restoring it, looking to order the plastics soons and start working on it after finishing up a few more projects around the shop
nice find man where in nh are you? ive been looking around this area for a t3 and no luck for a decent one with a fair price. what did you pay if you dont mind me asking? and where did you find it?
Nice find, good luck on the restore.
Depending on the condition of the motor I'd give $800 all day.

Good call !
My 86 swing arm had serious wear marks from the chain too. And like Alex said, it is very repairable - I used the method he said.
There a couple of us on here making/selling replacement sliders if you are in need.
sblt500 makes VERY nice and affordable sets and I have my own version that will basically do the same thing.
I am looking forward to future post about the rebuild, very interesting.
Nice score ! john
is there anyone remaking parts, like skids amd such.

There is a boardmember on here named SBLT500R that makes skids amongst other things. Holler at him.
