its an 82 185s with non stock gas tank and headlights.
aparently ive been nicknamed the lobster driving it around at night. lol

What kind of headlights are those? Mine just burned out the other day. Good thing I wasn't on a trail in the desert. Them cows like to sneak up and flip you. Trike tipping is their sport.

lol the headlights are actually a 30$ pair of driving lights i used to have on my car, got them at canadian tire i believe, there only 15 or 20 watts each tho so you need to hook both of them up to the low or high beam circuit otherwise when you rev it the just blow bulbs. im actually looking for a better suggestion if anyone has one..

Not bad. Also, do you have a on-off-on switch on the throtle housing or is your a twist throttle? I had to replace mine the other day and all they had was one without it. The switch which goes on the left side was worth an eye so I had to hotwire a toggle switch from blowes and stuck it on the hole where the mirror mounts.

Btw, I love that picture of yours. Are your plastic parts that nice or do they just look like that when wet?

they only look that good when its wet, its really quite faded and the otherside is broke almost off (previous owner rolled it) my kill switch is on the left hand side and not part of the throttle , just a regular old thumb throttle on that one. I dont like how a twist feels on it, i did try it and took it off a week later. thx for the compliments as well

and merry christmas guys!

I wish I could find a pic of mine..... my old 1982 185S I bought for 200$ from one of my highschool teachers. I put ALOT of hard miles on that trike....even when I parted it out it was still somewhat running..it got run everyday. If I find a pic I'll post it up.

My first trike was a Yamaha YTM-200E Shaft 1984. I still have it but it need a final drive resto.

This is a picture of my trike.

Well, I finally got a recent pic of mine today. This is me sucking down a cold one (dr. pepper) in front of what looks like hell

. Hmm...This one is a little bit toned down. The other one looks like I am sucking down the fire through a bugle or something.
