i think the engines out of a dirt bike kick starts missing but its back wards kick, runs awsome pop starts super easy, it vibrates ALOT, i took it for a quick ride up and down the street, i'm kinda scared to hold it more than 1/2 throttle, i'll put on a helmet and take it for a ride later 2 c what it can realy do!!!

The engine came out of the Can-Am 500 moto-cross or enduro bike. Tiger used them for their powerplants as well as the 250s.

WOW that is hacked together...Seen that for sale not long ago for 1200, was posted on here.
Teamredrider, the tank is painted and poorly done at that..they even left the tank mounts on when they did it.

Well the stock 250 Tecate will wheelie in every gear since the swingarm isn't long enough to keep the front down....with a 500 it would wheelie just above idle lol

YEA ITS HACKED id sell it for 750$ ,but all the pieces are there and it runs so 750's a good deal if any 1 wants it!

Although I have two of those motors...one very low hour I could always use some rotax stuff...i may be interested.

That would be a bad ass trike if you tore it down and built it back right.

i know only a handful of board members know this but rideing and sitting on a trike with big cc' is more than a handful its absolutly ruthless the power is awsome and raw, this week ill b cleaning it up fixing exaust and hopefully makeing it more trail ready without investing any money, it would b nice to have back brakes on some thing like this,lol, does any 1 have any idea's on how to lower the suspestion either cheap or free?lower the clamps on the front?

Soften up the shock preload on the back and lower the forks in the tripleclamps up front. Voila, you have lowered suspension.
