I'll put it to ya this way. I was 75% jetted and I wasn't far off from the 350X's I dragged. I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL IT DOES!!

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that although I like to restore my trikes. I like better to RIDE THE HELL OUT OF THEM ALLOT MORE

Guys at TFEST noticed some of my rare parts and told me I was crazy. But what the hell good is sticking these things on a shelf or in a garage just to talk about them?? Thats not for me kids................

Raffa has it, I honestly didn't want it on video because I knew the jetting was so far off and I didn't want to look like an idiot - But, I am an idiot anyhow . Fortunately it ran but as soon as I got it under a load up the hill, that killed it. That where the countless hours of changing jets and recording each change began. I cannot emphasize how important jetting is when you have changed the cam, carb, compression, porting, exhaust etc etc.

We got it to run at about 75% with a 90 something main, center clip and the airscrew 1.5 turns out but it was still way off. BUT, enough to do the full poker run The race gas actually made it run, before that it was a dog.....

Also, I had to run the airbox lid, and with that exhaust and all those mods, that lid should be in the trash and the main jet should get stepped up quite a bit more.

I won't do a build in this time frame again, made me sick and I'm still paying for it. Although I did it super fast, I refused to sacrifice the quality of the build.

I'll post the teardown and removal of the extra base gasket next weekend. Then the jetting fun begins.

Seabass came by on the last day, we were torquing the head and one of the head threads was stripped. That ported head was used and I simply didn't see it because it was under a counterbored area for a dowel pin. John got to see me helicoil it in about 5 minutes and we were back to tuning. Both Seabass and and myself learned quite a bit on this build and it's only going to continue from here. Then, the 350X will get a nasty crate motor, 450R rear end, 250R front end and powder coating itself.....

There will be other posts about Trikefest, but I must say that this 3wheeler community and the people who DON'T live in Massachusetts - are some of the nicest people I have ever met!!

The most fun was my drunken 4AM death ride with Garage boy, all my crew and ATC Eric, ATC ADDICT and there sister. Complete insanity but no one got hurt and the fun level was over the top. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats DC! I just now fixed up my 200x, and if im able to at work will be making black fenders for it. My GF wanted to help, but she ended up getting spray paint on the frame (NOOOOO). I was able to get the kickstarter right btw! I was rotating it, but the spring on the shaft I had was tweaked. I took it off the broken one and it fit perfectly.

I must say.. ive been in mud pits and havent come out that bad!

Glad you had fun and I thank you again for all your help!

I honestly doubt it will look bad, everything should hold up great. Thats what there made for anyhow fellas!!

I was literally braising the tank and painting the exhaust 1 hour before I had to shower and get loaded, no time to get the camera - sorry.

There will be more builds and even better than this one

[Tekawte1]

Your welcome DC !! It was great to meet you. Tecat-z"s friend.. (TEKAWTE1)

[Eric250R]

Man, I looked for you all weekend and never saw this beast. Maybe next year. But congrats on the build.

[trikes4life]

To complete a project in that time frame and have almost nothing go wrong is amazing, very few could do that.
