Well I picked up my first trike last monday.
Paid $625 for it because it didn't run, but I was assured it was a rebuilt motor and it was probably just bad gas or a fouled plug...

The ba$tard lied. The pistons stock,and he must've run it dry because the camshaft was worn down badly. :(
But oh well, Ordering the piston and gaskets in a couple days, and going to try to find a used XR200 cam, and possibly carb. and intake.

Anyways... onto the pictures:
Sadly I didn't take any before pics, but it was the faded red with white tank scheme. I usually try to be a little different and since I hadn't seen many blue/white X's, I decided to go with that. I like it, but it needs decals.

Those pics are a few days old, but the only things I've done since then is paint the hubs white, and fix/paint the brake and clutch lever.

Thanks guys.
I hope to have the parts in, and the engine back together by the middle of next week. I'll take more pics when it's all back together.

Haha,
Nah, I'll probably just buy a couple of cheap $20 or $30 random sticker sheets. I thought about going custom decals too. Like using the stock Honda decals, but getting them done in blue to match instead of red. But that can all be done later, my main concern right now is getting it running.
