Was sipping my morning coffee & just browsing on craigslist before work today when this caught my eye. I haven't bought a wheeler in years or even ridden mine in years for that matter (yeah I know what the heck right?!?!) but anyways, I called him up and told him I'd buy it. Price was right and I knew it wouldn't last long. It needs a little love for sure but it's a runner. Felt good to be back on 3 wheels from the little rip I took on it. This will hopefully light the fire to get back to tinkering on the rest of them. Can't wait for the weekend!

Thanks man. Maybe my first trike that starts with 1 kick lol
It's a metal tank painted red. He gave me a white stock tank with red scoops that's in much better shape so I'll be swapping it soon.

Nice, if and when you do swap it I would be happy to purchase the painted one from you. Unless you want to keep a spare around.

That bike looks great man. With a little elbow grease she will look brand new.

Yeah it's a good start for a decent rider. Runs real good with no smoke, brakes work, lights work, nice tires. It really just needs a good cleaning, fluid change...a good once over really and a little cosmetic work. I can sell whichever tank I don't end up using.
Also, it's a twist throttle. He owned the bike 15 years and said it came with it. Can't imagine they came From the factory that way. Has a full cobra exhaust too sounds good

Looks pretty good. You have to start somewhere. Just need a little love and money thrown at it, lol...
If you need a good thumb throttle then just PM me. I have one laying around here somewhere...

Thanks for the offer. I won't lie, the motorcycle rider in me is diggin' the twist. Never thought I'd like it on a 3 wheeler but it's pretty cool. Went out for another little rip on it today, man this thing is fun. I couldn't be happier with how well it runs and rides. I'm real impressed with it. Going to give it a good cleaning tomorrow and start tinkering.

Nice buy i rode an 86 200x against my 85 200x had a lot more power but mine smoked like a train. So no idea stock vs stock.
