    I like it sorta...but i just dont understand. WHY in the hell would you have that tire on the front? Why the hell would you even buy a tire like that! I mean i know they're cheap but that tire just looks square and taking away a lot of performance away from the trike...any pictures of your manual..i just need to see it But otherwise, very good looking trike. While you dad has the top end off, put some new gaskets in there and get rid of the carbon build up on the top of the head. Good luck! :woot:
    Rest in peace Rex Carlson

    Yea no kidding.
    I had the same tires all around, changed the rear ones out with Bear Claws.
    It has absolutly no traction in mud or snow,

    Ive been meaning to change it. WIll do very soon.

    YTMBOY, did you put extra padding in the seat where that hump is? I think you should take it out if you did, you'll be sliding down the seat when you ride, just stretch the fabric really good around the seat and staple it on.


    Oh, and before anyone says it....Yes, I accidently put my rear tires on the wrong sides, It was late and I wasnt thinking straight. I have to take the tires off on sunday anyway to put in my new collar on the axle, thats why i didnt switch them back

    No....MY rear tires are backwards in the pic I posted...

    The seat looks like a crappy recover job. You can take it off, and re-staple it on while you pull it really tight. You dont have to, but it would look a lot better

    hell yea looks way better. thats why i did it to mine. also ill let *Edited* know other priceless mod that some one taught me..on the 225 the rims have an offset of 1'' im pretty shure there the same on yours.....so what you do it take off both back tires and simply turn then around...so take the wheel turn it a 180* and put it back on so now you will have a wide axel base....its like putting on 1'' wheel spacers, it makes a noticable difference. plus it gives a more sporty look. like if you see mine in my sig, to me its like a yamasaki.....a 225dx that looks like a tecate.. but yamaha version.. now if you look at any other 225dx they look completely different. just my OP. anyways keep it up, maybe get a skinny front tire and some 20'' in the back i got 22'' but im going to go with 20''.

    You guys will never believe this!!!!!! well last night i was pumped about the bike so i started up to midnight doing the seat hump lol... I took the cover off and you will never guess what was underthere..... A god damn 80's wendys bag and a old black moldy shirt and also the seat pad. I almost passed out from the smell of the shirt.. Now the seat is normal and i understand were *Edited* guys see the "hump in the seat" thanks guys. And the front tire whats a wrong??? It seems like new. Again i never touched the tires.

    hay guys another new update is that i added a rear light today... custom made it looks pretty decent "alot better then the stock one!" i cant wait till next saturday!!

    Who the hell recovered that seat? That is ridiculous.

    There is nothing wrong with your front tire, we are just saying its a crappy tire for the front. You see, tires have differant treads, there are some tread patterns that work well up front and some that suck (like the one you and I have) You dont have to change it if you dont want to, but it will help you steer better if you do.
