    Re: trikes

    which one is easier to get parts for/ even to swap to test bits out like CDI etc??

    Im still waiting for my ATC185 to turn up... (paid $150au/$75us!)

    Shiat I would buy the ATC if you didnt, but IM in Australia, freight would terminate me.

    The HONDA is much easier to find parts for.

    I have KLT's and just deal with low supply of parts.

    Your other option is the KLT for something different. There are a few around, but looking on Ebay, theres not much for the KLT.

    Having never seen a KLT(Not in Aussie), I would think about it for a change. Might suprise you!

    I owned a 83 KLT 200. It was like old faithful, it always started and ran good. Owned it almost 2 years and never done anything but normal maintenence. Even though it ran so good I was happy when it sold. The damn thing is the roughest ride in the worl made my back hurt.
