The rear end has a little play in it, but I can fix it no problem. I paid for half of it tonight so no pictures yet. Me and my MILF are having our 7th aniversary this month so I had to spend quit a bit of cash on a PEARL NECKLACE :D (no seriously I bought a pearl necklace). I will get some pictures of it next week some time when I go pick it up. The plastic is in almost perfect condition. The axle is very wide on it also.

Yes it is FORSALE for the right price.

LMFAO I am sure you paided alot for that :D

Seems like a pretty good trike you got your hands on, seems to be "race" ready with the rear suspension and wider axle.

Holic I feel kinda bad, it wasn't very long ago that you owned the only Tiger, then BAMM everyone bought one and no longer as RARE. Now this you watch about 10 people will buy them and it won't be as cool to own it.

Also you might have thought you had a rare MILF but I got one of them also. :D :D

:D She didnt know what milf was, either. somehow it came up over xmas break, some DJ on the radio said it, and she says "what is a milf?" I says, "im not gonna tell you, but you are one" I really want to see some pics of the tri moto. my suspension was made by "pro-tec". I also have a sloppy fit, I put it in myself, no instructions, and not sure if some spacers or whatever was missing. Lets reverse engineer this together, I want mine FIXED! I will send some pics, you do the same.

86 200x asked about it right after I bought it. It ISN'T forsale. I want to find out more about it. I wonder if they made a big bore kit for these cause the cylinder sure apears to be different.

Droopy are you riding with us this spring at Little Sahara? If so I'll let ya take it out for ride.

Hey Smokinwrench,

Congrats on a great find. A 175 just like yours was one of my favorite toys of all time. Those things are awesome.

Well it runs great. Freakin faster than I thought it would be also. I had to clean the carb, gas tanks and plastic and removed a bunch of uneeded stuff that was already unhooked. I will repaint the black on the front area soon. Everything on it works (lights brakes).

I have a couple questions about it. Is it supposed to have a leading axle or trailing axle? It is set up as a leading axle and it looks kinda funny. What is the purpose of the clear hose on top of the carb that just runs from one side of the carb to the other?

Holic I will try and get you some pictures, I took some this evening but the flash caused to much of a glare.

With 4 running pingers now I better buy stock in Blue Marble.
