    fattire finally on the t3

    well the t3 looks more like a 85 t3 should now. got rid of that gay blaster tire and rim i had on it to roll it around the garage. soon as my blaster is back up and running, i am going full bore on the t3 motor. geeeez i wish i can this thing done before trikefest!!!!

    the front tire is fine and all but the rear fenders are what makes your t3 stand out from the masses.btw the green and white combo is the best there is for a t3,though i am just slightly biased.very nice.

    looks nice scoot, I sure hope you getter done. I'd really like to see some nice t3's there this year . I saw a sneek peek on one yesterday and it is nice.Your going to have some compitition if you make it. As far as mine goes . I'm not changeing much, a few things here and there. I just hope mine can compete with such nice t3's that are out there. Hows the motor work comeing along? Whats up with the blue motor thats in it ? It looks to me that your doing one hell of a job on it . Your takeing your time and doing it right.Looks great. If you need more options on what to do about bottom end let me know . Keep up the good work. Lopes

    i just need to get a new stator and flywheel on the one thats in it. plus i am rebuilding the topend on it. that motor i won off ebay witht hekx cylnder is going to be getting done as well. the guy from sprock racing pointed me into the direction of greg at cwr, havent heard back yet, but it is the weekend so i am in no hurry anyways. going to get new seals and bearings in that motor, and it needs a new crank and rod as well, besides that the clutch looks brand new, i mean brandnew, and it shifts thru the gears fine so besides the crank/rod and bearing and seals, nothing much besides a topend rebuild on that one as well. will have two t3 motors ready to go at anytime. the one is the blue one, the other will be aluminum and grayish colors, with polished parts here and there. plus i have a third thats a disaster case, lol. might dig into that one, but who knows. i just wanna get it running, lol. make it to trike fest if the wife allows, hahahha. lets just say uncle sam is coming, christmas part2 for scooter is coming as well!!! fingers crossed, she will be purring like a raped ape when all is said and done.

    How does the big tire affect handling...better or worse?
