    making a trike

    I have been toying with the idea of making a trike from an old dirt bike a ts 185 suzuki to be exact I figured on using an axle/carrier from a trimoto 125(only because i have one outback) and grafting it on to the swingarm i would use dirtbike tires all the way around unless i could find a small one for the front what do you guys think should i try it or should i rebuild my tri moto or just forget the trike and stick with bikes.
    1980 trimoto 125 mods include a ripped seat broke fender and bent handle bars
    1981 trimoto 125
    1971 suzuki ts 185 it will spank a 200x
    1966 gmc 3/4 ton

    I say rebuild the tri moto all the way, when you start a resto you become attached and it feels like you have a friend. Good luck!

    I'd restore the tri-moto, restored 125's are great for booting around on. Just tell your wife you are going to mow the lawn for the afternoon, then hop on the trike and put around for a while.
