      I has a 85' 350x 3 Wheeler. It was the top of line 4 stroke sport bike for Honda. It had a very distinctive front end with aluminum shocks and twin headlights. Only produce '85 & '86. Most likely that is a 250 big red front end.

      It’s actually the degree of the neck that needs changed aswell , I one this with a tri z and rd 400 engine we lengthened the sinking arm and spaced out the wheels ,but eventually a mechanic done a sort off goose neck on it for us .but that tailed it on the road but it wasn’t any more fun off road so it got swapped for a blown engine kx that got the crazy engine supermoto touch bck in 90 92 ish can’t mind that far bck but we where building some ,,,, mad stuff .went on to do some mechanical sculpting with mutoid waste co .if you want to see some off the stuff there’s plenty old stuff on you tube .and there still going .

  • @nigelcox7477
    @nigelcox7477 2 роки тому +2

    Hi Joe - the front end is cool, and the engine is so strong…. But that back-end needs chopping up into small pieces and into the trash! I reckon you could find or make a wide swing-arm (about 4-6 inches shorter…) and get a matching super-fat rear tyre. It would be so much better and safer as a 2-wheeler - and that motor sounds fabulous!

    I had a Hondamatic 750 you have N,1,2, you can take off in either gear it was designed that way, also when you turn you can't lean in on a turn with a 3 wheeler, you have to lean the opposite way to turn, sounds crazy but true and if you made the rear wider it wouldn't be so tippy

    I knew a guy that just loved Trikes. He bought a perfectly good Honda 1800 Gold Wing, and converted it to a Tryke! Thought I was going to start crying as he made his conversion. What a waste of a nice Gold Wing. Ah, but it's a Free Country, well, Semi-Free anyway.
