Let's see you're 'odd' trike mods - tire chains, custom paint, home-made etc!!!!!!

[TheRealFatShady]

I am looking for some inspiration on some 'uncommon' or even 'ghetto' (or redneck) mods.

Looking for some with dual tires on each side in the back (5 tires total), maybe an axle and wheels on the wheelie bar, tire chains, home made plows/trailers/racks/treads/2 or 4 wheel conversion, etc

I've seen the usual ones, mostly pristine trikes. I'm looking for some that may not be pretty, but have a cool feature.

Have seen some on craigslist nation wide, never locally. Even if it's a crappy hack job, I want to see it. Have a few chain drive 200s laying around, may want to make something fun out of them.

Here's my 110 with a 200x axle and disc brakes. it took a good bit of machining to get it to fit but I would do it again in a heart beat.

I made some wheel disc that I used for a few months. They kept mud from plugging the wheels. Large snap rings hold the plastic disc in the lip of the wheels.


Back in the 90s a company called Orbiters (spelling?) made foam inserts that went into your wheels and kept mud out. they did get water logged and heavy so guys would spray paint them to seal them up so they wouldn't soak up water. My brother might still have one in my garage, I'll look for it later on and post a pic if I can find it.

Dang Kasey..When it comes to 70's...You definately "De Man"...

I got a nearly free ATC185 that I'm kind of fixing up. The seat itself needs to be recovered and the plastic frame directly below the seat is okay but the rest of the rear fender is all busted up. I was thinking of buying a pair of random matching dirt bike fenders at my local motorcycle junkyard and kind of bolting them to the side of the trike to give me cheap ass fenders. I'm also bought a set of cheap fog lights from Harbor Freight that I'm going to use as headlights.

Rerouted the airfilter and made a piece out of aluminum to clamp the hose and the airfilter together. Not sure if you can really see it that good.

Made this to help compress a rear spring so I could get it apart. The locking collars were all messed up and the spanner wrench wasn't working good. This has now taken off several springs and makes it vere easy

try a trimoto gastank on a 200 x doesnt look too bad

[corndawg]

wow, there is alot of great craftsmanship in this thread, crafstmanship thats to good to quilify for the threads topic. good lookin work guys

[swampthang]

Heres my old redneck 5wheeler I built and used to own.I got this 185 really cheap at a sale and put it back together from spare parts I had accumalated. Sad thing is the 200 auto x next to it was my parts 3wheeler for another 200x im restoring and it looks better.The thing floated acrossed muddy fields no problem. I had it geared down to turn them tires over. Only bad thing was it was too wide to fit in a truck bed. Got $300 for it though when i sold it.:naughty:

[cooter69]

Alot of these ideas are really good! Nice job guys, keep em comming.

You guys design some excellent shizt, Loizl that Rear Brake reservoir is really nice.

[Rider615]

I guess this fits into the ghetto category since its a homemade bling thing. I made covers for the rear hub nuts on my 200x. .............hey, I was bored. All they r is lug nut covers you get at any truck stop. I removed the reflector centers they came with and stuck on some logos I printed on bumper sticker vinyl, then poured a few drops of clear casting resin over it to seal it in.

[Texas 200x]

^ Hey that's kind of cool as long as the lug doesn't come off when riding since it doesn't have a cotter pin. I like it though.

[Rider615]

No see thats the beauty of it. The pin is under there as it should be. The cover is large enough to cover everything and the points of the cover touch the inside of the wheelspacer to hold it centered and it has a shoulder that is sandwiched between the hub and the spacer so it doesnt move at all.
