To me the holy grail of trike parts would be the blue 83 atc70 fenders. I did manage to snag an nos blue 83 atc70 front fender so I know they are out there. I've never seen the blue 83 atc70 rear fenders nos though. There have been several short track tank kits and people run across accessories in weird places which makes for great stories. I think the best story is of a certain member on hear finding a Tiger 250 that had never been registered and still had its' certificate of origin, making him technically the first "owner" of the trike. He found it by contacting a local dealer from a 20 year old ad in atv news and the guy told him he had some bits and a complete trike in a trailer. He had some other crazy bikes too. Do a search and you will find the thread on here somewhere. So there are still trikes out there to be had. I always keep my fingers crossed. I also know of the treasure trove of vintage trikes out in cali, but the guy has never come off with any trikes that I know of. I mean all kinds of the totally odd stuff, the stuff I really dig. Tricky Dicks trikes and the whole bit. Real vintage duner stuff. That's what gets it in my book. I can't wait to hear what others have to say.

Dammit!

For me it would be finding a genuine Honda ATC 500R prototype.

I think it would have to be a custom build from back in the days. I have seen tigers and other rare trikes but how many have seen the old school Husky trikes? These were custom made to race. I personally would love to see and ride one of those.
