What a cool project...HI Performance ATC Frame w/ RD350

[just ben]

Wish I had the money...but that'd be a seriously long drive to pick it up (8 hour round trip):http://reno.craigslist.org/mcy/2764714172.html

I would drive 8hrs for that. it could probably be had for 450.00 not worth a drive from NY though

I hate to say it, but that's just mechanical porn for me. Talk about snarling little beasties! Those are the machines I dreamed about having. And as far as trips go, I drove 11-12 hours one way, to go get the Nicholson 500. Then drove back the next day! LOL

I'm still looking for one of these Trinity Cycles air cooled 250R drag bikes if anyone comes across one.. Those have always tripped my trigger for some reason...

If I werent so far along on my GT500 I think it would re-live life on three wheels

Man I love this old school aftermarket custom trike insanity...that overbored turbocharged 6 cylinder CBX drag trike is freaking mindblowing......Awesome articles on those different RD trikes too, and those stretched out Trinity drag trikes are so dang cool looking too...thanks dcreel for posting that stuff...

Dammmmmn...you boys are giving me the sickness...I've already got too many projects on my plate (my '84 250R, '93 Mach 1 Ski-doo, '97 Yamaha FZR600, and tonight I just brought home a free '82 KZ750 w/title-another c-list treasure)...but I'd still love to snag that Hi-Performance RD350...how often do you see something like that pop up for sale?

Still, I've got to try and be a little rational here...I've got too many projects, and too little time and money...I think I've got to stop looking at craigslist...it's making me

[Vealmonkey]

You've got to be rational? What website do you think you're on! LOL

[Motorious]

...Good point Veal...I guess try is the operative word here though...

[ezmoney1979]

I am supposed to head down to Redding on Tuesday, but I too am trying to remain "rational" lol. I would love to have it, but it looks like a three wheeled divorce machine for me. I've got a Joker 90 and BW80 I need to finish first...................................... but damn I would love to have that primitive Banshee!!

[Vealmonkey]

Primative Banshee. LOL All the Banshee was is just a 4 wheeled RZ350. Now get down there and buy that trike! LOL As Lou Mielke would say....."Do It!".

ditch the mach 1

Oh no no no...I just bought the thing for $400, 670 Rave Rotax motor runs killer and is a beast...got some electrical issues to work out still...and waiting for the snow to drop, but I can't wait to ride it...reputed to be a very quick and fast older sled.

They are very finicky engines,mostly because of the pos primer set up. they start great cold and hot but its a craps shoot if it will start after cooling down for a little while. the trick when it's warm 1 pump on the primer hold it wide open and pull if it doesnt start after the second or third pull it won't without a fresh set of plugs. good luck with it,I vowed to never own one again

[Motorious]

Yeah, it's weird there's no choke on these things...that's the 1st I've heard of any starting issues with 'em though, and I've done a lot of internet research...mine is a bit difficult to start when cold, but not too bad (seems to take a few pulls/primes to keep it running)...once it's warmed up it starts one pull/no throttle...I've been attributing it to the fact it sat a couple years before I bought it...I went thru and cleaned the carbs and fuel filters, but haven't touched the fuel pumps so far...what's driving me nuts is the electrical gremlins.
