    Talking Franken-Trike Idea-Moved

    Here goes, take one TRI-Z(86") Rolling chassis add one 660 Rapter Motor shake and hold on for dear life. What you all think?

    So to be looking for a Tri-Z to rebuild

    why mutilate it? id rather have the z. theres a reason the biggest four stroke factory bike was a 350, because anything over that would be overkill and handle like crap.

    I am going to have to disagree. I remember Mr. ATC talking about honda was in the works of a 400, 450, or 500 or something fourstroke atc, and how he rode it or something. I'm not exactly sure about what it was, but I believe it.

    I think you will have to strech out the frame to fit the engine in. The problem with going from a 2 stroke engine to a 4 stroke engine is a 2 stroke one is a lot smaller and they don't leave a ton of extra room for a bigger engine. If it is made well then it would be awsome but it would require a lot of work. If it is just tossed together then yes, it would probably handle like crap.
