Got the trike done! Needs paint and some upgrades to the brakes and twist throttle but it flys. Got it up to 36mph but it will go faster, just not enough room with bag brakes. Here is a quick clip. https://youtube.com/shorts/GSDMqm_hZP4?si=gcxsO9xpWAS88NFf

Tried heat with no luck. last option I am considering is using both size sleeves. I will cut the small one into sections and use it to fill the gap between tire and larger sleeve. A litle epoxy to hold the pieces in and hope for the best. If that does not work I am going to have to find new...

I tried that and not even close. These tires are VERY stiff. I had to take them to the local Mavis Tire Shop to have them mounted. I could not do it be hand.

cutting the sleeve was last resort for sure. I'll try the heat first. fingers crossed

well decided I am already way out of budget so whats another $250...LOL. I just order the parts and now it will be a stupid fast drift trike! Figure I can always use the engine on another project down the road. Now i need help with the PVC Sleeves. I tried twice to buy some off ebay and the...

I am new to the trike/kart world so some of this may seem basic. But here is what I have and whats going on.... I have a brand new Predator 212 with a Mikuni 22M carb with .125 primary jet swap and upgraded exhaust header that will be going on my Drift Trike. Some things I am seeing -Engine...

Honestly not sure. I have never rode one. I have seen videos of both and both seem to work ok. For this i figure if feet on the wheel pegs goes not work ill add the the bars off frame.

Made some progress this weekend. Got the frame layed out. Lots of grinding and welding to do now.

So I ordered the axlekit, wheels and tires but am having a hell of a time mounting the tires on the wheel. I tried and was not successful so took it to a tire shop and they are struggling as well. I watched a bunch a videos and the tires were so much softer. You can stand on the sidewall end the...

Looks sick!

Thanks! I had not idea the seat was going to eat up so much of the budget!
