Sorry the pics aren't the greatest, my phone sucks and I was trying not to fall off of a 10ft. tall shelf while taking pics. I found this at a salvage yard while looking for tri-z parts.

Independent rear suspension? Must have been the brainchild of one of Kawasaki's top R&D gurus. Possibly from Kawasaki's Skunkworks division.

There were photos of that horrid abortion posted on here several years ago.

It looks like the work of a Honda "engineer" from their "Skankworks" division that thought she could improve on The TECATE...The Most Powerful 3 Wheeler In The Universe! :Bounce

"Two chains" think was her name.

Tecate wins again!

Yes, of course Fieldy, The TECATE...The Most Powerful 3 Wheeler In The Universe, will always win (almost)...that is unless someone loads their honda up in a van then drives it to the front of the race then unloads it and jumps onto the track in front of the TECATE with it.


OUCH barn....

IRS on a trike???
Some people are always trying to ice skate uphill.

Some people are always trying to ice skate uphill. I'd hate to be the Zamboni driver on that rink.

Trying to get my head around how much force was put on that swing-arm/frame by the independent right-hand wheel, yikes!

[Gabriel]

I wonder how that rear end would hold up here........
Brrrrrrap....woooshhhh....CRUNCH!

Our new products engineer named Jerry Marcell designed and built a sit on 4 wheeler with 4 wheel independent suspension and rear steering in addition to the standard front steering.

[Gabriel]

Yeah. Quad.
Not a trike.

Lots of great parts there.... And I have a Tecate project on deck if my son would get off his butt

Is it for sale?

It’s on my list of want to own someday...

Ironchop, I'm not sure if he would sell that machine or not. It doesn't hurt to ask. It's located at Eastern Michigan Cycle, inc. They're a salvage yard that's been in business since the early/mid 90's if not longer. Their website is www.emccycle.com
Judging by the frames and carcass's laying around, I'd say they have or have parted out about 12 1st gen tecates and15 or so 85' tri-z's. There's a really good all around selection of Honda's(a little thin on liquid r's and 350x's). There's about a dozen assorted klt's and even a half-dozen or so Suzuki alt's.
