    New additon to the herd

    I just picked up this yt125 from VealMonkey, & boy does he go through a trike!
    Many NOS & new parts including clutches & steels, kill switch, NOS "out of the box" front carrier, w/ headlight guard, Bassani pipe, NOS carb, rear disc, headlight & tail light(he even went as far as getting the gasket for the rear light, very nice!), YT175 front end, & eventually(when I come up w/ the $$)a... ................PRO TEC rear suspension kit!!!!
    This trike runs like new, it's very, very responsive, I was really shocked at this trike's performance. Granted, it's no Z, or R, but it's pretty quick for what it is.
    Also I've got a 175 frame to accept the Pro Tec rear and I have a complete 175 top end w/ Boyesen power reeds(on the way).
    The only problem, other then the tires(they're just too nice to get dirty ) is the shift linkage- It's got one link from the pedal to a center triangle piece, then there's a second link that connects to the shifter, which is about 2-3 inches long, & there's a good amount of play in the 2 links. I did my best to adjust them, but 2 nuts are rounded off, so I spoze I'll find 'em on Evilbay.
    So here's a few pics, I hope they load............................

    A couple more- The original pegs were rubber, I'm not sure where these came from, but they're cool! Als a shot of the pipe, & the weird shift linkage.

    Hopefully it will also accept the not as expensive knock-off kit.

    Do you already have a line on a pro tec or are you just hoping to find one?

    Oh, switching from a 125 to a 175 frame will create a problem with the exhaust. I remember someone (I think it was trikeaholic) saying that the 125 and 175 exhaust mounts differently. I’m not sure if it is just a different bracket or what.

    A member here has one he's willing to sell($$$), so I'll eventually get it when I'm a little richer. So there were other suspension kits for the 175? I never heard of anything BUT Pro Tec as far as suspension kits go?
    Also about the frame swap, I've got a complete 175 motor w/ a pretty nice top end I'm going attempt mounting on the 125 bottom end(going to freshen it up 1st), a few folks have told me it will work, I hope it does. From there, I need to find or have made an expansion chamber for the 175 set up.
