    Back on Three

    Back on three again,I sold my 250r earlier this year cause I got my bike licence and got a road bike so lost interest in it and sold it.i still had my kfx450 that I was able to sell other day,well anyways I went and looked at this the other week and caught the bug again and decided to buy it.i took it for a spin on the weekend..went very well.needed a few things doing to it which I sorted out already.just waiting for some new rear tyres n rims and its ready to go again.

    Funny how the PO had put so much time and effort into that trike and cheaped out on the tires..you sure he didn't pull the nice ones hide them in the back of his shed and install those for the sale?

    Not that they are crap or anything, but if I was doing my TriZ up with custom seat and all the rest I wouldn't put econo-tires on it!

    Nice looking trike, I wish sometimes I could feel the thrill of the 2stroke you younger guys get..I'll stick with my 350x. It's all I need.
    Current toys..
    1986 Honda 350X..trail bomb!

    Hey mate I saw this on Ebay im in Perth, seemed like a good price, very clean like you say. Is this one of the ones imported from the states by the container load? noticed the California offroad sticker on it. either way nice tri-z.
    Nice photos.

    Worked on dads KFX yesterday to get That up and running again.had a blown base gasket.easy fixed,running fine now. So we went riding today for a few hours. The Z is running good. Got new rear tyres + spacers/new front wheel bearings/fork seals/thumb throttle and the dude I got it from found me a gold front rim.his still trying to find me some rears aswel.so got rid of the front tractor tyre.the tyre on it now isn't the greatest but its still better then the other.also got new triple tree bearings/new rear bearings and some tri-z decals coming.couldnt get them locally so had to get them from overseas.so that will do for now til I build my bank account back up ha.anyways if the weather is good next weekend off to the sand we go

    The day I can no longer take the thrill of a 2-stroke, pull the plug on me.
