Here are some of the projects that I have been working on for the past few years. Due to a lack of time and the fact that I can't just work on one at a time they are taking a while to complete. The first is the TRX 500R. This is the only one so far that has been somewhat completed, a few times. The frame is completely home made,modeled after an '86 250R. Then I stuffed an '86 CR 500 motor in it. I have made some changes in the past year and a half, the pics where it is white are what it looked like when it was first completed. Since then, I have added a 38mm PWK airstryker, a bit small, but it is good for low end and it's really responsive. I found a pipe that was made for a CR 500 motor in the TRX 250R frame by powerpros. I painted the plastics black (bad idea). I also added 400ex spindles, I had to modify the stock a-arms to get the camber right, and I am working on an adapter to put the R brakes back on. The ex brakes don't quite cut it on a 90+ mph quad. Next, I have an '85 Chevy S-10 Blazer. I have cut out the ifs and added some full size axles out of an '80 Jeep Wagoneer. Dana 44 in front and an AMC model 20 in rear. It has leaf springs now, but I plan on going to coils in the future, as well as a small block v-8 and probably a 700R4 tranny and transfer case out of a late model full size 4wd. Finally, some of you trike fans might hate me for this, but I am in the process of mating an old Yamaha Tri-moto 125 to an old leather recliner. I inherited both from my sister, I was just storing them for her idiot husband, but when he decided to leave her stranded 1200 miles away from home in Ogden, Utah with no money, I decided they were mine. Here are a few pics of them, I will update this thread as progress is made.
