    To the best of my knowledge - I am the first person to put a sport trike front end on a Big Red ~ (200X front end on 250ES). This was done out of necessity - at the time I needed a new front clip, and I wanted to do something different. Worked out really well in the end. By far this is the best trail bike / cruisin' machine I have ever ridden.

    Cosmic Quads! aka Moshman355 and Mrs.Moshman here on the site. They did an awesome job! Just send Tammy a pm and tell her what you want and she'll give you an estimate on price.

    Other than that my Tecate is pretty unoriginal and needs a major upgrade.

    that KTM is incredible. work of art.


    one thing though i think it needs some tires front and back. the back specialy way to soft and round. a flat profile wide tire back there and it would handle like a totlay differnt bike.

    I have been looking at BigGreenMachine`s ITP Spidertracs on his Tecate .They look like they would be very stable. http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/s...t=59439&page=2

    very good choice spider tracks , and gobs of traction. needs a wide rim so they lay down flat ,or they will be round to.

    she looks sort of tall. maybe a wider axle or some extedders. and some fast treckers or tracker ? and she would sling around nice and predictable.

    i run a kenda front max A/T in the front very nice tire. i think you need a taller front and smaller rears. and wider axle some how. that bike looks as tall as a horse.

    i think that bike is genuis . i am talking wow! the front forks are sick.

    let me run this by you. how cool would a similar bike be with a huskvarna engine with orange plastics be and silver frame . call it CHAINSAW!

    if they still made 3 wheelers that KTM is probably what they would have sort of evolved into i bet.

    I think I was the first to put a CR85 engine Into a 86 250R frame.

    I have another hair brained Idea that Includes a Tri Zinger for my 9 year old to ride at TF07. It will be chain driven with full suspension.
