Hey @OrlinEngh,, ever see this one out CTFW?? Seems like Tip, Tweeks and I went thru a place called (Eastman) out by you folks one time... Dont remember ever seeing this puppy out there on those gorgeous back roads of yours...

Check it out,,, looks like a decent scoot with a decent $ for an actual trike kit installed.. Anyone know what trike kit this is??

Looks a little like a Roadsmith, but there was a company making kits for 1st Gens that went out of business, forgot their name.

 

You're right, Puc, it has my interest...

Pick it up and lets stick that modded out motor ya been waiting for into it Bongo!! Then take it rippin on the two tracks up in Northern Michigan :guitarist 2::guitarist 2::guitarist 2::guitarist 2:

 

Seriously though, thinking out loud here but arent just the trike kits that have 2 wheels on the back fairly pricey?? I know just the rear axle set up for the Sporty my neighbors and I built up ended up at just under 2 grand = just for the Axle and it was a MUCH simpler belt drive system (but I had BLAST riding it like a big Honda 350X!!)..

Eastman is not far away from our place, I had thought real hard about going and taking a look at it but just not ready for a trike yet, Might not be a bad future investment, see there I go thinking again, that and the 2nd gen is alittle lonely. Have to just say no, sure is hard to sometimes.

The ad says Motor Trike. There was a trike company by that name so I'm assuming that's what it is. I'm moving this thread to the proper area though.

Well, Puc, "pricey" is a relative thing! Last I knew of, Triwing out of Canada was still making kits for the first generation and was priced at $7,000 and is a do it yourself! To do the 2nd gen, Hannigan wants upwards of $15,000 or more depending on what extras you order!

 

Yes, Don, Motor Trike, that was the company! I've seen their 1st generation conversions before!!
