ok I am far enough on this project to post up a little more information.. unfortunately its not a quad or a Honda,, but its my latest trike project,, I started out with a frame and a motor from an 03 yz450 Yamaha ,, had this idea in my head for a long time,, so its time to put the wheels in motion, here is what I started with... ,
and with a little work,, and a lot of figuring I finally got my swingarn length worked out. so off to the swinger jig I go...
the front end was a real simple switch. I have a set of triple clamps that are off a big Honda street bike, so no need to have them custom made,, even the stem pressed right in from the yz triple clamps ,, and to my amazement,, the lower clamp only had to be bored 1mm and the top fit perfectly....
since I got this as a basket I knew I was going to have to open up the motor too,,, WOW I figured it out right, junk!!! so here is where the $$$$$ comes in, new crank,piston and cylinder, waterpump rebuild, new oil pump, gasket set, clutch basket and plates,, I sent the head out to have it inspected and rebuilt,, that was the good news,, all done recently and no need for anything but new seals because they were already in there, so on to the rear suspension. it all is from the yfz quad and bolted right to the yz frame,, PERFECT no figuring it has all been done by Yamaha,,,, so now that its all bolted together I added gussets to the swinger,
this makes it a roller,, so I can see ride height and fork angle,,
