    Crazy wheelies? With no regard to top speed loss?

    Run the biggest rear you can find and the smallest counter sprocket you can find. Also, a smaller tire like a 18 or a 20 will make your trike be geared lower then a taller tire.

    Have fun, make sure those back brakes work well and have a good grab bar in case of looping over.

    I'm talking about brakes for any other reason then it gives you a lot of control over your 'wheelies' and will save your ass, grab bar, rear plastics and silencer if you learn to tap it just before looping out to bring your front back down.

    yeah, definately know what you mean man. the motor is in some quad right now and i dont want to pay for brakes on it, because im gonna put the motor back in the trike where it belongs. (PO thought 4 wheels was safer) bu its just not as fun.
