    Yet another conversion..

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6724 This one looks like a very clean job, but the bike can use some TLC. I wouldn't mind taking it for a spin

    prolly the nicest conversion i have seen yet. the front ends and the frames are ususally spaced too far apart and it looks dumb

    I like it, it is actually hard to tell that it was 3 wheeler, usually it's really obvious
    Caution
    Do not "POP WHEELIES" and run for any distance with the ATC. The oil capacity is relatively small and the oil will drain out of the oil pump area thus causing loss of oil pressure, resulting in costly engine damage -CLYMER

    the way i see it, is if you like the way it looks buy a lt230s ... Same front fenders. Also i am sure the space is there in the front but the angle of the 1st pic is just right so you can't see it.

    The way I see it, if "how the fenders look" is your primary criteria in choosing a ride, you are likely to have some problems if you ever actually go riding on it. That one on here awhile back really cracked me up, when everybody was saying how wonderful it looked, "the best Ive ever seen", etc. and it had the exact same kit, by Astro, only the front fenders were sawed off!

    yeah well alot of it has to do with the way it looks .. i dont understand why people like this one .. its the same thing ... and what i am saying about the fenders is if you like that way it looks buy a lt230 .. or now that I think of it the quad racer has the same ones (I think) instead of adding a front end to a trike ... and again I am SURE that the space is still there ... just with the angle you cant see it..

    And what Im saying is that I doubt anybody would want this because they like the looks of an LT230. More than likely the guy who buys this wants the feel of a 350X motor on 4 wheels, and is not after it because of his great love for the looks of a 230 Quadsport. I think the buyer of this would be pretty disappointed in a 230 Quadsport as soon he rode it, compared to what this machine will do.
