I've been into 3 wheelers since I was a kid but got away from them after they were banned and quads came out. I got back into them after my injury for something to keep me busy. Back then it was tough to get what you needed for your trike. I have a 1st generation Tecate and they are hard to find parts for. Then the internet really helped me out.
http://www.3wheelerworld.com is the best site for 3 wheeler info and pretty much anything that else goes off road and we all know how E-Bay made possible to find any part you need.
I can find parts for my trikes and quad pretty easy now.
I have been working on my Tecate since 1996 and its almost done. Raffa Polished up an old and Very rare Aftermarket Cal-Fab +2" swingarm I was lucky to find on E-Bay that for some reason no one noticed, and I have some Hub Extenders to make the rear 50" wide. It should handle alot better. More stable and the extra 2" will help keep that front end down. Im looking at a Sprock Racing Billit Cool Head for her for before Trikefest this June. Should add a few HP's and keep the engine much cooler. After that I will just be petting parts Polished and look for anyone who is making Custom parts for her like the Cool Head. There is a guy on 3 WW that tools up nice little parts like fork caps, inline Hose coolers and other shiny parts. I dont care about keeping up with my neighbors about my lawn but my 3 Wheeler and quad I do. Cant have you guys making my Rides look bad.
I also have a nice 1986 Honda 200x that I got from a member on 3WWa couple of years ago. Its a real solid trike that I believe is a low hour ride. She just needs new Fenders, Front Tire and a kick starter. A great Trail Machine and with 6 gears shes alot of fun to ride.
I dont make alot of money so its always a struggle and with no garage its hard to get things done. I see Mik6's rides and Raffas and I wish I was set up like them. They are good people and have helped me out alot. For that I thank you guys. Also a big shout out to some members here who have invited me on some rides and who have been really cool. I will be joining the Oswego County ATV club this spring for sure. Ive never wanted to join a club before but Ive had so much fun and everyone was so nice that I would like to be one of the Gang and help out the Trail system if I can. Cant wait till spring so we can get together and ride some more. Maybe a weekend ride up to my camp in the Adirondaks is in order if anyone wants to go.
Anyway here are the pics of the two 3 wheelers I have now. Im looking for a Honda 350x now and hoping Mik6 wants to sell me his
