So figured I would start a project log of my ( and a buddies) trike build.

Joined the forum a while back to get help on a carb issue on my kart. Everyone was very helpful and got issue resolved. Only problem.... haven't driven the kart since fixing it. So bull****ing around with a buddy of mine at work and he stumbles upon sfd industry's drift trike. And well one thing lead to another.

We are both going build "twin" trikes. Each will have the same engine and drive train but slight variations on the framing. 1) because he is taller he is using the larger bike frame 2) because we both like slightly different designs. But at first glance that will look almost the same

B.S.3 is our little nickname for the project (last initials, and 3 for.... well hopefully you can guess that part)

To start the project I had to mountain bikes that were victims of hurricane Sandy. Gutting them and working off of that. Going to use a 212cc predator. Here is what we have so far.

looks pretty cool! I've seen those SFD Industries drift trikes and they look a lot of fun! Also I've heard very good reviews on the 212 so good choice, you could even hop it up and make it look badass! Good luck, will be following this thread very closely!

yea they look killer fun. sold my old kart to pay for some of the parts on this build but since i dont have a garage and was keeping the old one at a friends house he is happy to have his space back.

212 should be a perfect fit.... for my wallet. once i get it moving and set up ill probably get an exhaust and intake for it.

already decided mine will be blue flame metallic which is a ford f150 color. its a real nice bright blue
