So.   Im thinking of doing a AF conversion.   Only using the 4T motor.    ...

These are based on a Honda TRX 450R quad (rear portion) that has had the front of the frame removed and a custom built front frame portion added on.  Then custom billet triple clamps hold shortened late model Honda CRF bike front forks. 

The man that makes these sweet machines is Bill Casey, and his company is called TPC Trikes.

I think of owning one of these often!  :evil:

The guy that owns TPC has a friend here in Okla.  I went by the guys house and checked out his 3 wheelers when he was passing through Okla.
Nice build quality.

Wow , that chassis is trick!  How do those modern day high end wheelers handle? Tbe last 3 wheeler i tried beating on was an 85 tecate and that chassis would get serious front end "death wobble" when hitting cross ruts!
