    seat

    the 250es seat doesnt sit so high on the tank like that. It just goes straight up to the tank but don't have such the up turned front.
    It is either off another trike or "customized" or just over stuffed.

    Hey there, that's a nice. Lots of red added to your garage lately.

    I really like the waterbed seat. Where is the valve to put the H-20 in though?

    Was the tank and plastic repainted or what? Once you put graphics on that will set it off premo.

    Now you have a nice selection of trikes for the different moods your in.

    Maybe one of these days i can get out there and we could do a ride together.

    Take care of it now, ya hear? ............don't leave it get like poor Rudy did.

    Hehe, yep the tank was repainted. Im gonna re-repaint it because the idiot didnt sand AND it was fresh paint. So right as a little gas came outta the tank it took some of the paint job off. But this is my nice one, im gonna take care of her.
