    I bought a ported cylinder and a ct sectional expansion chamber. Both of those made a world of difference

    Well, I havent really modded any of the trikes that I own myself persay but I Love handling, The +4 axle in the 250r has to be one of the greatest mods for my type of riding that I have ever done. I do alot of tire switching too. I have 20 stock Raptor tires on Cannondale wheels on the back of my 350X right now, slowed it down a little but hooks up great and turns way better.

    I Think after the Port Work,Pipe,Gearing,Tire's,ETC ...The Best "Thing's" were the ATC Thumb "for the PWK",along with the 1985 ATC Thumb Cable,The Cut FlyWheel,and I think the BEST Thing was the Intake Mod that a Friend of mine told me about ... He Races Car's and Stuff and Told me to Build a Intake System that will be as good or BETTER than the "Pod"....what we did was Fab up a Alluminum Thing to Bolt up to the "Z" to hold the White Bros. TRX Foam Filter....

    Yamahondaman, I noticed you removed the "HONDA" lettering from the top cover of your Honda thumb throttle. Nice attention to detail!

    The best mod I ever made was on my '85 R a few years ago. I had a buddy who worked for Vito's a few miles away do an awesome port job,Completely removed the whole airbox assy.& droped in a K&N ,went with a rad valve,piped it and went with a pwk 39mm carb.You can actually hear the air getting sucked into the system!

    What do you have to do to hop up the ignition?

    Well for the 350x the single best thing was having Yamahondaman lighten the flywheel. Now I have INSTANT throttle response on a 350x. Pipe would be second (but ya gota jet so its not one single mod)

    But for EVERY atc i would have to say get some FLAT tires. No more of those dang baloons/rounded ones. The stability is 100 times better without rounded ones.

    I got me a shop manual like someone else but the thing that I put on it was new tires and a little flower basket on the front to carry my beer and ice to the remote areas I go to. I also added one of those little ringadingding bells to the handlebar where the brake lever that isn't there once was. It really doesnt do a damn thing since the jackelopes get out of the way long before they can hear it over the engine so's I do not run them over.

    So many idiots that can't ride a motorcycle, so few hours to put my boot in their seat!

    I didn't do the mods, they were done before I bought the trike.
    It's a combination of a high compression piston and oversized header/muffler on my 83 ATC200. Pulls like a D8 CAT.

    Ive done 3 systems, one was a modified stock ATC / TRX (from the 4 wheeled contraptions) 250R , a GM HEI system off a Camaro and designed one from scratch. The scratch one about matches the spark current of a top fuel magneto.
