give you a ton of credit............that looks clean as hell...................BUT WHY, WHY, WHY? I love to mod things, but what was the idea in putting a 550cc in a trike, with a 100% stock trike? Not picking on you, just interested................

 

well i didnt do it, i would have if i had the 3wheeler and the engine, but i didnt build this guy, i bought it on ebay, i saw it and just had to have it, its amazing, except it doesnt handel too well, i guess cause its a lot heavier now. the guy i bought it from said it was used to pull drag cars down the track so they needed a bigger engine, i think he just wanted to build it.

 

OK, that makes sence. That would also explain why it looks so clean. Those track trikes are usually near mint shape, with low hours. Nice trike.

 

How much are you asking for your trike?

 

thanks, yea it is near mint, i bought it for 1,000 and barly used it so something near that would be nice.

 

that things awsome. i bet its hard to keep the front end down on

 

nice bike

how does it run/handle?

 

yea the front end doesnt stay down easily, its a beast, but it dosent handel that great, thats a big reason why i'm selling it, when going straight and fast it doesnt move, in a good way, it will stay straight and not wobble at all, but when i am trying to just rip around my property it doesnt work to well, turning is like turning a mack truck with out power steering, not that bad but its rough, but i got used to it now so its not to bad at all to me anymore. It ran great, a little bogging right now, dont know why, somethin with the carbs i'm guessing, i'll take them a part and clean them up, it will run great after that.

 

be sure the carbs are syncronized,,,,that will mess things up pretty good if they arent
