    Lightbulb Anyone ever tried to make a "new" 3 wheeler?

    I was thinking about taking my '83 200x and combining it with a newer 4 wheeler. Maybe a Foreman with electric shift? I think it would be cool to make something that Honda could have made had they continued to produce ATCs.

    Search for TPC trikes. A 450R based conversion. Try not to wet yourself.

    It always seems the fast ones get re-produced, and that's ok. But, i'm sure a bad a** utility could be built too. One that would fear no job on the farm!!!
    Don't get me wrong, i love to see any builds and much respect to the the people that put the time into them. It's always cool to see what someone comes up with.

    I think a big red/utility version would be awesome. Not everybody needs to go 100mph to have fun!

    You might be strong as an ox, but without a cart you are just a big dumb animal.
