You deserve it, the amount of work that was put into that frame to make it fit, good job! well it's the nicest.. next to mine of course LOL
I contemplated this idea with a 450 motor a while back, but as a college kid never made it to the drawing board (no funds) so far it's looking great, can't wait to see the rest, woot!

This is awesome, just plain awesome. Congrats dude lets see some pics!!!!

[Black86tri-z]

i bet you this bike is already done he's just teasing us with a couple of pics a day,what color plastics will it have?black or red probely red because of the special tank,also will it have a headlight?

LOL, nice try guys, but firstly the bike is'nt finished ( but nearly ), i could show pics but as you guys know everybody likes lots of detailed pics, so if i show the end result, lots of the smaller stuff might be missed, if that makes sense.

I will try to post pics of each stage of the build, not to tease, but purely to show people what they need to do if they want to upgrade/change a part of there 250 to a 450 or aftermarket part.

As for the colour?, well i guess you'll just have to wait and see, , if you read through the thread i have sort of said.....

HEADLIGHT??, - O yes, this bike will be road regestered, so i need a light, not that it will do much good when the front wheel is 4ft of the tarmac ,

Cheers Guys,

G.

Right, mmmm, whats next?,,,ah yes, the rear Shock....


WALSH RACE CRAFT 'SAVIOR' SPECIFIC - FOX PODIUM X REAR SHOCK 17.875" Long.










Also pictured are the IMS ROLL DESIGN Pro Series footpegs, these had to be modified slightly, the mounting brackets for the pegs and the OEM plates were removed and the pegs TIG welded onto the 85 OEM plates.





Next - the CARB + RADIATORS!!!!

you know, this is honestly the only trike I would buy from another member complete, for whatever they would be asking for. No new machines appeal to me, I prefer the trikes, but I would go and buy this tomorow if it was at a dealer, Top notch work you sir raised the bar for all other builds!!!

[RoscoW]

From the pictures "I've " seen I would have to sell all my toys, and re mortgage the house to build this weapon.
Hey G did you say that this we be road legal when done? I heard you can run quads on the road over there with the right mods but this would be outright sick . Supermoto on three wheels
Keep the pics coming

[cr480r]

Do you plan to use an upper engine mount? I don't see provisions for one...

No, no upper engine mount,,,,if i think its detrimentle to the the bike, i'll add one latter. At the moment am happy to run without it.

Wow.....

This by far is the nicest R build I have ever seen on the boards. Your attention to detail is amazing. What kind of $$$$ do you think you will have into this build when done. (rough idea)

Ye the laws over here class an ATC as an AGRICULTURAL vehicle, so with front and rear lights your basically good to go!!

Crikey,,,,good question,,,Mmmmmm,,,,let me check the wifes not looking at me typing,,,,,okay shes busy ironing!,, I'm really not sure, the TRX 450 cost me $8000.00, i could sell the rolling chassis if i wanted to recoup some money, then i guess

triples = $2200.00
front shocks = $1600.00
swinger/shock = $2195.00
axle/anti fade, = $1000.00
misc = $3000.00

So probably somewhere around $18000.00, and thats without putting a single $ on my time,

Thanks for the compliment, am glad you like the build so far.

* I COULD HAVE BUILT THIS BIKE USING AS MUCH OF THE OEM TRX 450 PARTS AS POSSIBLE - THAT WOULD HAVE REDUCED THE TOTAL BUILD COST CONSIDERABLY*
But at the end of the day i have tried to build a trike using the newest / state of the art parts as possible Unfortunately Technology costs money.
