    85 T3 update

    I posted pics of the 85 t3 I have a few months ago. I've done a bit of wrenching since then, and still a bit to go.. I'll put up a before and after shot...


    Before..

    I've done a bit but still have alot to do, I put a new 86 front end on, new handle bars, fmf torque reeds, moose levers with the rubber inlays, new seals for the entire rear linkage, made the new seat cover, replaced all nuts and bolts on the engine and engine mounts with stainless steel, new prm grab bar, new 86 maier rear fenders, new oem 86 front fender.. Thats a few things I've done.. Still need to rebuild carb, get a clamp on air filter, glue the tank cover to the tank- it doesnt hold on with the straps too well....

    Thant looks awesome. Ive seen other people talk about the 86 front end on the 84 or 85 but Ive never actually seen the conversion. Looks great.

    part of your extra rear height is the 86 Swingarm you have on there. It's longer than the 85. plus it looks like it has the adjustable link strut too. run it down some.

    That's a great looking trike. In my opinion, they should have came off the showroom floor just like that. big forks and aluminum swingarm.

    It was awesome red too. red 84's are pretty common, red 85's are little harder to come by.
