looking for a dirtwheels article

[old-yellow]

Does anyone have the article or articles of the buildup of the yt175 "project trike"? If you do and could post them, I would appreciate it, thanks.

If they post the articles for you, I'll get my feelings hurt. LOL I've been asking for these now for awhile. I only have one and it is sort of the first race report. And the biggest complaint was that they didn't have the right rear sprocket and that they were waiting for a different toothed sprocket to arrive. Did you see my posting of the Suspension yt175 that I'm working. It has the article with the parts breakdown of the Pro Tec suspension in it. Good reading if you are trying to follow the "Project 175" since it has the suspension kit installed on it. A board member was so kind as to post what year and month that there were great yt175 articles in, but, I've had no luck with anyone scanning and posting these articles. If someone sends these to you, please forward them to me also. I'm curious as to what they used for a front end. I have several options right now, but there are one or 2 more that I don't have and would really like to know what front end they used. I've also been on the hunt for any yt175 wide and heavy duty axles, but no luck so far. I do have 2 suspension kits for trading purposes though.

Cool beans. Let me know if you are looking for parts or suspension kits. Or do you have a suspension kit already? I have 2 complete suspension kits, one being installed on my yt175 and one suspension that I had to fabricate parts for that was incomplete. About the only thing I don't have is an original suspension kit chain tension, although I did receive one, I'm not sure how it installs and it doesn't look like the tensioner in the Pro Tec article.
