I'm fairly new here and just wanted to share some pics of the Trike I just finished. I started with a decent 86 R that I picked up pretty cheap, but then did a frame up rebuild. Some highlights are:

- Freshly Powdercoated Frame
- New BDT 330 Motor (thanks Carlos)
- 43mm Inverted Forks (Clamps from Jason Hall)
- TRX 450R Footpegs
- +2 Lonestar Swinger
- Rebuilt, Revalved, Resprung Shock (SRS)
- +4 Lonestar Axle
- Original Plastics / Seat except for new OEM Shrouds

I wish I had taken more pics to show the progress during the build, but I'm sharing what I have. I had an awesome '85 200R when I was a kid (Destroked TT/Flattrack racer) that I would kill to have back now and although I always kept riding bikes, I couldn't get 3 wheelers out of my head and always wanted to get one again. I am very happy with the way this thing turned out. It handles awesome ( I think the +2 swinger really compliments the longer front created by the leading axle of the inverts ) and it has a ton of power. I wanted it to look nice, but most of all wanted a bike that I would love to take out and ride and I have just that. There are still a few small things I need to do (newer or polished levers, things like that) but it's ready to ride and a ton of fun :).

One other thing I forgot to list is I used the 2001 CR250 ignition and I'm very happy I did. There is so much more spark energy, the thing is very easy start and extremely responsive.

No video yet, but I did add fork guards and just finished putting a 10" front on. I will try to post some updated pics this weekend. Thanks for all the nice comments.
