Title: Dirt bike conversion
Post by: croat1 on August 21, 2020, 05:42:49 PM: Just wondering if anyone has a dirt bike/3 wheeler conversion? Or how many companies still do them? I know BVC still does but anyone else?

I forget what site it was on, either here or .net, but a guy was building 3 wheelers out of crf/yzf 450s. They looked really clean.

Post by: 2ndmoto on August 21, 2020, 08:36:03 PM: I can't find the post. I found a few of my posts stating what I said above, and those were from 2018. So it has been a few years since this guy posted.

I did find some references to a TPC trikes. Looks like they have some info

BVC is the only one i'm aware that does that, but I could see AJ Wagoneer building one with some convincing, especially if it's cr500 based :D
