Been looking and wanting one for quite some time. Finally found one that I could not pass up. I bought it from the original owner. Dealer serviced it's entire life from the same dealer he bought it from in 1986 ( this guy was so organized ). It was kept nearly 100% stock , except for the twist throttle, handlebars ( original ones were bent when he let his friend ride it with the twisty ...never again ) and fork boots.
I swapped the rear rims /tires and removed the mudflap already so I could ride it the past few days, without doing any damage to some hard to find parts. I really need to get some rider plastics and seat before I do any serious damage. The previous owner also put clear film/tape on the sides of the tank. I can't tell if it discolored the tank or not. I was going to remove it but I figured I might as well just leave it on. The trike has spent it's entire life in CT. I can't figure out how someone could keep it so nice for 27+years given our horrible riding conditions around here.
Ok , time to go ride !
