    Love the Hi-Flight seat looks much better than that verde powersports thing IMO. I like the white fender but I think the RED front looks better Nice job on that trike brother!

    I will get some with the red fender Eric soon. It's dark outside now. Don't you like the hot pink crossbar pad and fender decal? I don't know, I think if anything it need more Hot Pink. Just kidd'n.

    Black86, I'm running a 14/38 ratio, I look forward to seeing what it's like.

    Had to find this again and get a look at the small front tire. Looks great IMO.

    Nice Tecate, did Ange's T3 give inspiration for this one?

    Doing a great job on this T3 . The 3 in swinger gives it a great look. Can you imagine if John (red T3), Ed (green), Jeff (tekawte 87 T3) ,Atc Eric (87 T3) , Sandpuppie(85 T3), you , your brother and I took a trip up to Silver Lake next year. It would be like were back in the 80s.The invation of the 3 wheeled Kawies! Awsome! Anyway ,it looks great!!!

    Ange's T3 is nice looking, I thought I seen another one like it too. I like the green with white frame as well. Ultimately, I want a frame chromed plated for it but that will have to come in time.

    After all the remaining stuff trickled in, I was able to get it running and WOW is the only thing I can say. This thing kicks like a disgruntle mule, I had to put on my *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* kickin boots. I never had to kick anything over like that. Just a word of advice, don’t where tennis shoes and try to start this engine. This top end should absolutely scream. I’m so pumped up I want to get it more broke-in on Saturday and the give her the fuel on Sunday. Today I just started it and basically didn’t take it above 1/4 throttle and let it run for about 4 minuets. I will check my head bolts before I actually ride it. I’m not sure it the carb is a Mikuni TM or TMX? I went with a 50 pilot and a 270 main jet. It did not want to idle so I guess I should go smaller on the pilot? I don’t intend on doing a whole bunch of idling in the near future though. Here’s a few more pics of the finished (for now) product.

    Awsome Justin, it came together beautifully. Did you use a stock piston or one from Sprock? I know what you mean when you say don't wear tennis shoes to kick start it, I hurt my foot last weekend because I was too lazy to get my boots on, well, I'll know better next time.

    Good show ole boy, Chris

    BGM, I think i will use the cover with the logo.
    Chris, that's the piston that Sprock sent me.
    Lopes, Not sure about compression but it kicks harder then my 84 (way harder). I might give it a test for fun. Do you think that main is too small? It's that largest one that come with the White Brothers kit I had. I could go larger but I will have to go to my dealer. Anybody else run a Mikuni tm or tmx? I just left the needle in it's center position. I would hate to blow this monster up.

    Lopes, Here’s the compression test on 3 kicks, Seems like a substantial amount of compression. I hope I can keep a clutch in it.

    Ya thats pretty high. Mine is at 190 psi. I'm using 110 torco fuel. I tried 93 and it didn't work out to good. Your going to need a slow burning fuel. A 270 is pretty small unless it was 90 + degrees out. I might be wrong but I would buy a 280 290 and a 300 at start at top and work my way down. What did you tork your head nuts at?
