    No worries. I'm getting pictures of every angle that I can. I'll post them this weekend. I talked with my buddy, Bradness Badness, about doing a video to post on YouTube. Brad was the second owner and last person to ride it. I haven't had the opportunity yet. There is a monstrous sand hill just south of Albuquerque called the Big Dig. Brad says the trike makes it up the hill at a standing start from the very bottom...with bald tires. That's pretty damn impressive. The last time I owned a machine that could do that, it was a Honda CR450. None of my trikes could do that including my Honda ATC 250R. All my machines were factory stock. The list included an '86 200X, an '84 Tecate and the 250R. So I need to locate some race fuel to feed the 12.5:1 motor and see what this beast will do.

    Here are some of the custom details. Members might pick out details that I missed. Custom fiberglass oil cooler covering the custom oil cooler. Custom steering stabilizer assembly with nifty cylinder head mount. Fabbed skid plate for the rear sprocket and motor skid plate. Looks to be a plus 2 or 3 inch swing arm with a White Brothers shock. K&N filter mounted to a much larger carb of unknown specifications as of this posting. Coffman exhaust.

    Since it was fashioned from fiberglass, it's really just a press fit. You push it onto the oil cooler and the cover expands just enough to fit without coming off.
