Re: Quite a different front clip swap

Been doing a lot of reading about trail and rake and everything
else like that so I'm a bit more knowledged on the front end now
and semi-confident in my ability to build a trike that handles
at least half-assed decent even.
Got someone who's hooking me up with the neck off an 86/87 T3.
Now I just need the 84/85 front end. Think I found on on the bay
for $140 but no axle, no hub, no rad. So I've got more yet to
get.
May even have someone that will buy the front end off the quad.
So that'll help fund it some. Not much, maybe enough to cover
shipping on something. But any $$ is good $$

High quality, homie!!!! Yea the yellow one came out pretty slick
actually.
I forgot that the stock tank mounts are in the front of the
frame!! LOL So I gotta make some tank mounting tabs and hope the
trees don't smash into it.

Chuckie, I can help with that kind of stuff...I taught a physics
class in HS because the teacher didn't know much of anything.
I'll have to figure out where I left my calculator though LOL

I believe I've pretty much got the front end stuff figured out.
I just gotta find out what the acceptable amount of trail is.
I'll probably just have it at the stock Tecate measurements an
all ya know? I've been talking with people who have rode both
the ATC-R and the KXT and they all say the Tecate feels better
all around. Except for the crappy rear shock. Lol

Should be getting the neck and triple trees sometime soon.
Waiting to cut the frame until after i get the parts in. To make
sure the frame doesnt sag down i think i will leave the down
tube in it until after i've got the front end tacked up. Then
i'll get a cradle bent up and a beefier down tube fabbed in.
Then i'll have to find somewhere to send the frame to get
finished welded.
Two big hurdles right now are the tank and pipe. The pipe is
just a matter of finding someone that can make a pipe to fit the
custom frame that wont get into the front tire. The tank is a
matter of finding one that flows with the seat right, isn't
ridiculously hard to find/expensive and that has the inside
pocket/latch/things in the front. I'll give the tanks that
iceracer said a look over to see how they would fit and work.
