Hello.....I wanted to start a thread about my little duner project.. I looked for quite a while, found this one.....tons of parts and tires for 400...Wanted to start from scratch..

The plastic is all good, no cracks....I polish aluminum in my spare time so I finished some parts up..

I scored a cascade waterpump cover and stator cover....

I went over the parts to check and see if they are good....got 2 sets of forks...lucky I got a good set...... the one has .002 runout and the other .005 compared to .017 and .077 yikes...

The original frame had some rot that I didn't want to deal with so I ended up finding a really clean frame........sandblasted it and powdercoated it, this is columbia coatings super mirror red....I am really happy with it...

Those are some good looking parts you are restoring. I am betting you spend quite a bit of time in front of the polishing wheel. Looks to be a pretty good deal with 2 motors and all. What dune tire were you going to run on the 10" wheel?

Thanks Pumashine..... I'm about polished out to be honest...I was going to try a mohawk style front tire and ss2's in the rear..

Looking good. Please keep posting update pics as you go. We all love to watch these before to after builds.

No doubt I will try to keep this updated....
Got my swingarm and hubs back.....
I bought a new lsr axle...not chrome like they used to be...bummer
My camera fell in hands of a 1 yr old this week...sorry about the blurry lens and black mark at bottom left.
My ss2's don't look right, I have to try a wider wheel..

It's looking killer, that is making me want to find an ATC. Problem is I would be torn between atc and missile.

You are supposed to have a 10" wide rim I believe. All my 6 sets are on 8" rims and look the same as yours. So...they look normal to me. :topsy_turvy:

I put the ss2's on some 10x10s and the rims stuck out maybe a half inch......some maybe 10x9's will be a happy medium

thanks for all the compliments fellas..if you guys see anything fudged just let me know!!

Rupp, I am in southern Mi....

Very nice score. You have that thing looking like new already. I am always looking for a 85-86 trike. They are always too high though. Although I know where there is a complete roller for 600. I'll be wathing this build!
