    More Updates on the YZ426 Hybrid . .

    Welp here it is almost completely finished, now all I need to do is a different exhaust and a few other things here and there. Lately I put a lot of time into it and money. The handling is now amazing with the lighter weight and extended axle. The throttle response along with the bottom end and midrange power was increased with a Power Pack for the carbuerator. Alot of misc. stuff was added like new graphics, stickers, fuel filter, new fork seals, new clutch, 18 in Fast Trekkers, along with new shock and fork covers. Here are the pics, Ill get some more soon.

    Looks pretty good. I saw you running around at TrikeFest but never got up close to it. Seems like you were kicking some arse during the motocross races but then it seems like you had some problems. How's it run against the newer 450's? Definately a one of a kind setup.

    NICE!! Custom 3 wheeler. Keep up the good work!!!!!!
    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.

    Wow! Looks way better. Looking forward to seeing how it runs in September.

    You'll love that track too, very trike friendly.

    Holy moly! You guys are blowing me away everytime I get back on here. Thats the coolest trike I've ever seen, bet its a blast to drive.

    So you grafted the TriZ arm onto the YZ arm and pressed the YZ stem into the Triz tripples?

    Thanks for the replies guys, Im not sure how it stacks up against the new 450s cuz Ive never raced one. I cant wait till September either, its gonna b a blast. Its getting a stock 426 silencer with a larger core in it, along with a larger headpipe and mid pipe. The front end is from a 86 Tecate along with the rear swinger but the axle is a RPM Dominator from a 400ex. I highly doubt I ever sell this one, its my pride and joy. Even though it isnt the prettiest thing right now Im hoping it will be by september.

    That's probably the only time most people get to see the front end of it...when it's parked. Looks great. Can't wait to see it next June in action. Keep up the good work.
