85 CR500 dirtbike converted into a trike. 250R front end, 250R seat. Custom Laeger +8 over stock 250R length swingarm to fit the CR500 frame. The subframe is an aluminum one made out of 3/4 square tubing that I made and TIG welded myself. The seat doesn't have any latching system, it just bolts right down to it. The end of the head pipe was cut and re-welded to angle it in towards the middle of the frame so I could center mount the silencer. Its crooked right now, I've gotta work on my bracket a little bit more to level it up. It turns those tires pretty good, but I need to gear it down a little bit. It has a 15 tooth sprocket on the front right now. I'm gonna be putting on a 12 and getting my topend ported by FTZ racing. Should be giving most of those banshee guys a run for their money then 8)

Quad, you wanna bet your beer money on that? :P
Hondaatc, are you and Ronnie going to make it to GA. this month..
No sir Mr. Ware sir. I would NEVER take that kind of chance !! ;D ;D
HAHAHA thats funny! :R :R
LMAO...you guys are crazy. Chris I dunno If I'm gonna go to hazlehurst or not this month. I really need to get some pro wedges ordered before I go back up there in that clay. I'm thinkin I might skip this month and try to save up and get a few things for my motor. Thinkin a port job, intake, and a digital ignition. Maybe the ignition will make the pos a little easier to crank :cursing.gif
yeah! im waiting for you to break your foot one day!
Hahaha...I know. I've heard of that happening to guys before. I've had my foot slip off once and go into the ground when I had all my force on it and man I thought it was broke then but I guess I just bruised the heck out of it. I'll get all the kinks worked out of it soon I think. :)
