Hey guys,


Picked up this little unit today for my wife. I wanted my 185s back and this seemed like a good buy. We were told it was used on a golf course for its life, and this guy got from his grandad cause he worked there.

Needs valves adjusted for sure and maybe some rings if I get horny before Trikefest. Nothing like having two front tires in the rear and a rear tire in the front :lol: Thanks Mik6!

Some wheel spacers, Seat cover, Honda T handle pull starter and we are mint! The front forks actually suspend, amazing how it feels when they work!

The grips and pegs have little wear too, overall were very happy with what we bought.


Take a look at the Thumb Throttle cover! Its wood!!! :lol:

Beautiful pictures Josh (mainly referring to the last one but all the rest are good !) .
There is NOT a darn thing wrong with the over sized pull rope handle, leave it IMHO.

Nice find! Cool that the wife enjoys riding too. Next you'll be looking for a 70 for Junior!

you know i think a Zinger is next, but I was thinking. Maybe there is a reason if it was used on a golf course why it had those tires on the rear.

I see the fenders were cut for a rack. Any chance you got that too? Maybe those tires on the rear didn't leave marks or tear up the fairways on the course. Very nice trike. I used to have one and loved it.

Sorry no racks, thats what I was thinking. Goofy as front tires on the rear, maybe it didnt tear the joint up!

Nice S!!

Those look like Kenda Front Max tires on the rear. Nice tires when they are on the front. Mine has much better front tire traction with one of those on my 84 200S

So, we've decided we are going to go ahead and tear into the motor to find out whats going on. Wanna fix her up and ride! After all it will be warm out soon!

Seeing as how its not warm yet. And, I hate being cold. And, our garage isn't heated. I had the brilliant idea of bringing it into the dining room and having a family 3wheeler fix it fun fest!:lol: :crazy:

Tomorrow it comes in!!!!!! Can't wait

Like I said....it's inside! :lol:
Motor is out and sitting on dining room table. Sure is nice to work where it's warm..

We are going to tear into it tomorrow to see what's going on. Can't wait!

A couple of years ago when it was time to replace the patio door I wanted french doors. Liway said absolutely not
I think she knew what would follow. I should have had you call her and explain the wisdom of it all !

I had a perfect seat i'll never use that i would give you but it now has a quarter sized hole in the top left. Wouldn't accomplish much changing seats...
