    Super nice 86 Z. I may have something you want I'll pm you
    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.

    thanks guy's.

    The tires are 20x11x9 Trail claws, I had to modify them, a little. They were a ***** to slide, so I cut the side lugs off.

    The silencer is actually an Answer S/A Pro, I believe. When I bought the trike used back in '86, it had a kit from White brothers, which included an oversized Mikuni flatslide and a White Brothers pipe and silencer, anyways I replaced the silencer awhile ago.

    So, yesterday was a busy day. I mounted the forks (had the rebuilt with progressive springs), put the motor back in (new crank, rod, bearings,piston, clutch etc.). Then I started breaking her in. In between heat cycles, I mounted the new chain and sprockets. Finally, after getting her all buttoned up i took her for a easy ride. Damn, I missed this thing. Today I got to ride her a little harder, and what a difference a good suspension makes (Works Performance shock, Progressive Suspension springs)!

    I was real close to parting it out . I'm sure glad I didn't.

    The pipe is White Bros. They used to sell them back in the late 80's early 90's. The pipe and carb where on the Z when i bought it from the original owner back in '86. He told me about carb pipe kit he installed, and I did a little research and found the pipe and carb kit in the White Bros. catalog.

    I believe the shock was around $250, but I could be wrong? I bought it about 3 yrs ago. Give them a call. They ask your weight and what kind of riding you'll be doing.
