Alloy frame enduro trike!!!!

[ylwgtr]

Not a kawasaki but I've just started building this...2012 rmz250 with an LT500R engine and swingarm/axle ect....Machined 6.5mm off each outside of the swingarm pushed the bearings in and machined the spacers down and she fits like a beauty .... Will chop the under cradle and front down tube in the next few days..I've sized it up and I might even remove the frame spares and run crf450x ones as they are a bit longer...the LT engine is quite long...I will also be removing the head stock and making/fitting a billet one....this fella will be full road registered

 I love it!!...these big bore trike builds are insane.
A buddy had a new 87 Quadzilla back in the day....I myself never got into the 3-4 wheelers too much...but a 500cc trike would be a lot of fun!

This should be a cool build and street legal?
I'll be watching

All I can say is that this thing will be all motor!!!!!Chopped up the frame a bit more today worked out that I'm going to have to run a very high Y piece (like the first alloy frame cr's).Theres a couple of ideas that I have and that's to run the under cradle very wide to clear the exhaust valve chamber inspection window/ governor rod on the RH side and of course that means I will have excessive room on the left...or completely chop it off,weld up the hole into the clutch cover and control the valve by a servo motor....I'm going to have a bit more of a think on it.....here's a pic of the engine before I rotated it forward to its final position

Let me just say.....THIS ROCKS! 

I'll be eagerly awaiting more progress pics!

wow.  your putting several of my loves together.

open class 2T.
Trikes.
and bikes that have licenseplates that probably shouldnt.

[ylwgtr]

I have 9 trikes in total!!!86 tecate,87tecate,85 Tri-z,86 Tri-z,85 atc250r,86 atc250r,85atc250r with cr500 engine,78 atc70  and a 92 kx100 converted into a mini tecate here's a pic of some...they take up a lot of room so it's hard to get them all in the same place at once!!

[ylwgtr]

The 87 tecate is by far my most favourite...I take it out every chance I get...poor thing gets the guts flogged out of it but it certainly shows the banshee who's boss...it was great era of motocross engines and its so reliable

I think Motorrad just wet himself with all those 3 wheelers... 

Oh, and just curious, what are you going to call this 3 wheeler that is street legal?

LTZ500 Tri-tard?

[ylwgtr]

[Foxx4Beaver]

[Foxx4Beaver]

[Goat]

I'm wet and jealous I Love T3's I had an 85 Flogged the crap out of it until the flywheel exploded and destroyed the case, stator, and crank. It's in Kawi heaven now

I want to see this mini T3 you talk about.
