    Do most of you prefer vintage parts or something like this....

    I thought that this looked pretty cool, but would rather try to maintain a vintage appeal if I was going to throw down some serious cash on a trike.

    Then again, if I had some time and money I'd like a chromey trike and a vintage trike

    i like the tricked out look. i dont like OEM much, its too plain. something prefectly OEM when its old is cool though. i just like to make things my OWN.

    $10000 grand is way steep in my book. You could own a nice 250r and a TPC for that price!

    I guarantee you he saw Andy's eBay auction. Yes it is nice, about $6,500 less nice, and that's being optimistic.

    I got a question, because I just can't see all the chrome, and this sounds stupid, but did he chrome and then powder coat over it? Because I have seen alot of 250r's really, really chromed & the motor is painted, and so is the frame. I don't really get the chromeing thing if it's covered with paint.
    83' 200x (son's). 85' 200 auto-x & 85' 125m (daughters). 84' Tecate(?). 85' KXT Tecate (mine!, mine!, mine!.)+ some others but don't feel like typing them in.
