    Value of this 78 US90?

    just wondering what you guys see wrong with this trike and what you think its worth? Guy says he had somebody "weld" a spot on the frame and they melted the wire harness and now it doesnt run, says its been sitting for a few years! clearly it needs a seat and a headlight from what i can tell. let me know what you guys think!Click image for larger version.

    wouldn't pay more than 100 bucks for it myself, thats IF you can find a wiring harness for it cause there is still no guarantee that it'll work. Probably needs the carb and gas tank cleaned at minimum I'd imagine.

    Yeah, $50 is an alright deal on it.
    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.

    I got a 78 about 2 months ago, also $50. all tires were shot, needed rear wheel bearing, chain, brake cable, split the cases, built the motor back up, one bearing, seals gaskets, missing tranny thrust washer ... was missing front wheel and fender, needed seat cover, $27 china carb, jb weld exhaust holes, wiring and headlight was perfect, still messing with the rear brakes, por-15 the tank. been kepin track, just under $400 into it now, maybe 40 hrs of my time, but its good for another 33 years,

    yours is MUCH NICER!!!

    Not gonna do much with it right away except make it rideable, its for my oldest boy, he comes on the weekends and I just got him into riding one of those little polaris automatic quads but it just doesn't seem right! So its time to get him on a trike!
