    You're spot on. If you put trike wheels on a bike, the frame will bottom out on the ground before the suspension bottoms.

    and with you already winning the race on a dream build. Maybe I'll just bring the camera again this year, and leave the Z at home,
    so I don't miss the shot.
    Well i do race the pro quad class on a banshee. I honestly think if i didnt have the bike problems on Sunday i could have ran right with him. But second place on a bike that couldn't shift aint too bad. You allow me to shift and i would be on his ass.

    NOS I thought the entire TPC Team showed just how dominate the TPC450 is all weekend. 1,2,3 off the gate into the bottle neck lefthander in the Sunday main looked like Team *****(ad your favorite brand) 2012' IMO. How about Brapp?? Guy who basically worked tirelessly all week for the TPC Team and(luckey enough) tossed a leg over for his frist TPC experance. Brapp showed better speed day 1, but lets face it he's not training to win races. I would rate him at an above level rider. He showed lots of 3wheel savey a true willingness to push hard. This +TPC450 equated to some fast laps. Halls Performance's bike was fast, TTrikes showed great speed as well(Jake's nasty get off was a huge set back). If anyone I want the Snake healthy for this year...he can push it.
    To stay on subject:
    If you want to see who builds the BEST 3wheeler to Todays standards? Might I suggest to you, come see them in person. The NatyBula and TF13' both great ways to gain your own sence of performance, stance and finish details. Most Builders will let you sit on the machine itself...(talk to you about the build)nothing better...except maybe a ride on any one of them.

    Yeah dirtbike conversions are terrible terrible trikes. this one has a dirtbike frame, totally just horrible.



    look at how horrible the one looks on the right. the left one is a 250r frame (lowered for TT) and the right is a cr500r dirtbike frame (not lowered for TT) (seat height is lower than a trx btw)



    this ones a dirtbike frame too, omg why doesn't he just set it on fire, its garbage.

    Little bit of an old post, but I am wondering if anyone's conversions are using bigger tanks similar to the TRX tank in size for the everyday rider rather than racing?
