    different strokes for different folks. its hard to say what would make someone do that when we dont know anything about them. so give them the benefit of the doubt and let them do what they want.

    Perhaps its a yet to be discovered "Jesse James" wannabe trying their hand at Monster (motorcycle) Garage. It would be cool if it shot flames or something.

    Guys, you've got to remember that most of these conversions were done in the mid and late 80s when they were the hot item. Nobody's buying good trikes and doing conversions now, but back then we were told by Barbara Walters that just walking past a trike was dangerous - and God save the poor sole that actually tried to ride one.

    We were also told that quads were cute and harmless and "turned like they're on rails." So, people bought these goofy conversions and hacked up perfectly good trikes.

    no, a waste of a good 350X is when you have to leave it in your garage because the place you are riding doesn't allow 3 wheelers. The guy who made this probably saved that 350X from a life of sitting.

    Good point. That's another reason why the conversion may have happened.

    Regardless Cliff,I would not my trike to be converted into a damn cart,come on now! I rather have it sit like it was made rather then it being another diabled 3wheeler. LOOK for places to ride,its not that hard.

    i'm not saying that i'd do it, but you have no idea why they did that. maybe some kids mom said he had to sell his trike cause there are dangerous (wrong opinion btw) and he convinced her that he would get a conversion on it so he could keep it? maybe it handles awesome and we dont even know? I love my trikes, and wouldn't ever do that to any of them on my own free will, but if i was forced to do that so i could still enjoy my whatever you want to call it, i would. people need to be more understanding in this country, it would be a much more pleasent place
