Has anyone switched out the stock tubes and replaced with newer motocross tubes? I'm guessing new triple clamps would be in order since they're bigger but I was just curious if anyone has tried. Looking at ways to make the trike look modern and possible ride better.

Anything can be done, but from a dirtbike they'd be too tall and the tripples could run 300$ easily.

Guys have tried running the upside down forks from a KTM80 but then couldn't get them stiff enough. I forget which model fork they finally adapted with great success but it wasn't cheap.

I am loving the 250r forks on the 200x. Better ground clearance and handling. Soaks up the bumps better for the "bigger" rider.

Thanks for the replies. just brainstorming. I like my trike how it is but there's always that little voice in the back saying, what if!!
