I am wanting a used front tire (just want 1) to try on my trike. I don't need anything perfect just something that will work for experimental purposes.

First do you have a 10 inch rim on the front?.....If you do I can help you out.

I think the front hoosier's that ferrin runs would be a lot better then what most tt trike guys are running these days. Someone needs to try one out to see.

I think most guys are running knobbie front tires. A couple of the guys I know have missle kits made in the 80s which are a custom front hub for an 8" wheel and hub adapters to use kart tires.

Good racing-sport trike fronts are just no longer made. Guys make due but it is too bad the honda racing mx front and the hoosier tt front are no longer around.

There is a guy that does group buys on 10" front wheels. That opens up a whole new world front tires.
This is my buddys tri z and thing is like it is on a rail.

Ahh the go kart wheels on the back.......Back in 86 I raced a factory Rotax trike that was set up this way.....I have it on VCR....I am hoping to convert it and post it on here sometime....I ran a Hoosier on the front of my R also....I think I still have one of the Hoosier TT fronts if you are interested I will look..

That old school stuff is cool. Is it one of the ribbed Hoosiers? A friend has a nation race from Florida on vhs that he had converted. I can post it. He is in the 200 class on a cammex 200.

I have been riding 3 wheelers for 30 yrs and I have just started racing this year. I have raced 3 races am now hooked. Its not easy getting guys together to race. I am going to try to plan some races next year so we can have a decent turnout at each one. 3 wheeler racing is making a slow comeback. It would be nice to see some younger guys riding them but that may not happen and eventully fade away with us.

thats kind of how 250r's and flattrack racing is out here in California.....We quit racing for about 6 years then went back and they didn't even know what a TRX250r was.....
