    I had a problem w/84'. The right side of the frame where it goes to the foot peg, cracked twice. I've welded it and it hasn't broke since.(knock on wood)I do a lot of jumping and hard riding( rocks and long rides) I'm 160lbs with gear on. I've rolled it a few times, broken levers and bent handle bars. As long as you don't jump it over 15-20 ft. to many times. (hard lands) She'll hold.

    So you want - experience down low - especially first hand?? well......... I think you've already had that EDOG...........



    Anyhow, what are your thoughts?? your liquid is lacking low end gusto? and your thinking the air cooled motor will give up some bottom end grunt??

    ??

    2 strokes just don't pull much in low RPM'S!! Liquid or air..................

    Well that explains everything

    They're pretty cool trikes. I have a friend that lives in CO that is obsessed with those things. He posted up a black 84 he'd built around a year and a half ago. He swears by them. They're pretty quick when done right. Other cool thing is you don't have to fight with so many people on eBay when you're trying to get stock or aftermarket parts for them.
