    Pics of my Tri-Z

    I cleaned it up today, still havent looked at the clutch. I switched the tires on the back with some 22's instead of 18's. I compunded and polished it, now I just got to get that damn clutch working and I'll be zippin around.
    sorry if your on dial up, these pics are 500kb a piece

    enjoy...

    Is the axle bent? I don't remember the gas tanks looking like that either but it's been years since I seen one in person.

    Very nice machine though. A little TLC and it's gonna be tight.

    Definetly a solid & clean machine, I like it-- I Like it alot!!!
    Wikipedia "All Terrain Vehicle" Definition excerpt
    Other smaller or lesser known companies, such as Tiger ATV, Franks, and Cagiva, produced racing three wheelers, but in much smaller numbers. Few of these machines are known to exist today and are highly sought by collectors.

    I didnt notice that grab bar was crooked until I uploaded these pictures but I'm going to see if I can adjust it.
    The axel kind of looks like its bent in that pic, I dont know why but Im sure its not.

    ive got to put some insulation or something to keep that pipe from melting the tank and some other things.

    Those handelbars are aftermarket, I think I might put my other set on, their stock ones, it kind of feels weird with those bars so high.

    I also need to paint some stuff, some day I'll pull her all apart and redo everything.

    The tires I pulled off those rims are the same size as my golf cart tires, so that works out good, I needed newer ones for it.

    Its amazing how much giving it a good hosedown and engine shampoo did for it.

    Nice Tri-Z man. That 200s you are parting is nice too. Why do you think it's beyond repair? I have trike's that look like they were thrown out of an airplane at 10,000 feet and I don't think they are beyond repair.

    I think the 200s is beyond repair because those bolts that hold the axel tight all snapped off in their holes when I was trying to tension the chain so now the axel is wobbely, and the footbrake broke off the frame when I was trying to un-seize it. Those among other things, they could probaly be fixed, but I dont have the time or money to do it.This is my dad's trike and we know of a trike for $500 and if we can get enough money out of these parts, we're going to buy that one. He needs one for hunting.

    I dont think that grabbar is bent , check the bolts where it mounts there is a support bracket that holds the cover for the gastank may not have been lined up perfect. That axle is straight. Did you get the clutch taken care of? If not I might have to take a trip up there to get it going, thats really bothering me that that craped out.

    i wouldnt worry about coming up here, theres lots of people here that know a lot of about these things. I'm going to read through the manual right now and go and see what i can do with it.
