    Post that up!


    I'd love to have that many different engines available to work with!
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    It got sold and i want a shorter swing arm with the same travel as the front because I like riding hardtails but I hate small bumps like washbord and the sharp impact from rocks basically like a bigred250 but smaller and faster since this is a endro motor with long gears I can't stand close gear motors they top out to fast

    I got a couple KZ400 motors to play with, but nothing to stick them into yet.... YET

    Thought about dropping the klt200 engine and putting in the kz.
    I just wanna go fast. If your not first, your last!!

    I love things that are modified... And I have nothing but respect for the guys who do it with detail and care. Not slap whatever junk is laying around into a glob of crap. I believe in fit and finish, and safety. Not hanging crap together with 2 bolts, bungee corded parts and bedframes... I am yet to see anything ever get "finished". For gods sake, if you are going to do hatchet work, dont post it. And if you do decide to post it, expect to get opinions. Good, bad or indifferent. (there is a huge difference between a "Engineer" and a "cobble job")

    No trikes. Too old, too crippled. Unless I find one I can't live without!

    I'm impressed its in there. Is that a 250ES tank? Everyone wants to rag on this trike but come on guys....remember when you were young and broke and wanted to ride? For a cheap trike its pretty cool. And with the proper engine mounts it could actually end up being a good trike when finished. How funny would it be to waste a band new quad with something that looked like that. Everyone said it couldn't be done, and he did it, that counts for something in my book.
