I have been toying with the idea of making a trike from an old dirt bike a ts 185 suzuki to be exact I figured on using an axle/carrier from a trimoto 125(only because i have one outback) and grafting it on to the swingarm i would use dirtbike tires all the way around unless i could find a small one for the front what do you guys think should i try it or should i rebuild my tri moto or just forget the trike and stick with bikes.

I say rebuild the tri moto all the way, when you start a resto you become attached and it feels like you have a friend. Good luck!

I'd restore the tri-moto, restored 125's are great for booting around on. Just tell your wife you are going to mow the lawn for the afternoon, then hop on the trike and put around for a while.

I have 3 XL500R's with mono shock One runs, one I just need to finish rebuilding the engine and the 3rd is a parts bike but I have a motor and it's a roller. I want to turn it into a 3-wheeler.
