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

LOL

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 did not drill it out, had not seen that recommendation yet... i just looked in it and ya...there is a TINY hole. so you basically drilled out the center where the small hole was?

So I thought I had a non hemi…even the model number on the box is for the non hemi? Wrong engine in the box?

Awesome feedback all. I will pull the oil sensor and governor this week. so the high idle I think was caused by the the throttle slide not going all the way down. I fixed that it seems better now. I am running a .130 pilot jet not the .125…do you think that’s enough? here is a pic of 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!

Nice work! My son and I are just getting started on our build. Where did you find the seat?

What are you using for a seat for your motorized drift trike? I have looked around and really dont want to spend $75+ for some fancy go Kart seat.

great...that makes things a lot easier!

Thanks all. We are intending to fab the frame with Square/round tube and a welder. I have some learning to do on the welding front, but thats part of the fun! Some follow up ?s... Will a BMX sized wheel work or is it worth trying to find a Fat Tire (26x4)? The Fat Trie bikes are much harder to...

Hi all. My son and I are looking to build a drift trike and need some guidance. 1. I have seen tons of pictures and articles about building but very few plans with dimensions or specifics on materials. if you have any to share please do! 2. any frame kits out there that are good? I found one...
