**Tryzeedudeman** · 10-26-2007, 06:15 PM

Will an 86 triz engine bolt right onto the frame of the 85 or are there any modifications required. Damn i want that sixth gear

**Bryan Raffa** · 10-26-2007, 06:24 PM

right on just the answers i was lookin for does $450.00 sound reasonable for the the whole bottom end of a newly rebuilt 86 engine? I dont know much, but it seems a little too much. I'm sure I could sell the bottom end of the 85 for somthing but do you guys think its worth it?

The one thing you won't be able to bolt on is the overflow bottle for coolant.

sorry to ask but what does the over flow bottle look like??

I got about $600 in my 86 bottom end alone ..so I think it worth it

heres the overflow

85 is under the seat and you will have to run the 85 intake tube

**Tryzeedudeman** · 10-27-2007, 12:33 PM

Thanks for the insight guys and what exactly is the intake tube? Is it the same as the what the manual calls the Coolant breather tube?

well if the one on ebay is what you are looking at. Buy it soon before i get a few drinks in me and hit the BIN. yes 450 is worth it for bottom end only. You have the rest of the parts to put the top in and overflow bottle. Dont worry about the overflow bottle/airfilter. Its just the bottom you are switching.

like raffa said - a bottom end is worth at least 600 to rebuild and with six speed - priceless.

I dont need it but wouldnt mind having it.

**Tryzeedudeman** · 10-27-2007, 01:39 PM

well i dont need it but i would love to have it so be a good fellow trike lover and let me try to get it as cheap as possible. I'll buy you those drinks some other time

pretty nice to know if i come across a 86 bottom end that well be the next project but as of now i like the 5 speed in the trails! besides im gonna try and stuff a 250R motor in a 200s can you say rigid drag trike!

**factoryX** · 10-27-2007, 02:14 PM

so your not supposed to put water or cullant in that white bottle?

**Tryzeedudeman** · 10-27-2007, 02:19 PM

I dont think so, but i dont think it could hurt anything. I've always put antifreeze directly in the radiator.

**brrcuda** · 10-27-2007, 03:04 PM

go get it. Let us know.

6 speeds dont show up every week.
