hey the 85 had it on the forks and the 86 had um on the gas tank

yeah well mine is and 85. i'm thining bout maybe wiring up a elec fan to the lighting side of the stator and then mountinmg the radiatr under teh seat with the fan pushing air through it. then the rad. would be invisible. not sure about the air flow though. i'm gonna have to think about it for a while

why not just find a 86 tank, rad, etc for it

[370banshee]

don't the rads mount to the frame though?? or do they mount throught the tank? i'll have to check into that

ok well i have the alky burner in the tecate now. i have a few small issues to get taken care of then i hve the big task of making my drag pipe fit correctly. heres a pic of the progress so far. oh yeah the mounts are mearly mock up mount for design purposes only. i'm gonna make heavier one when the time comes

thanks guys i
ll try and get a couple more pics tommorow. hopefully i can get the little things taken care of and be ready for my exhaust thing started on. my neighbor is a design consultant, inventer, and welding expert. i'm gonna rol this thing across the street and se what he thinks about this exhaust problem. i have faith that he can figure it out.

well i lowered the trike 2in in the front today. i'll snap a few pics later on and youi guys can tell me what you think. it seems to be alot more comfortable now. i'm also thinking bout getting a piece of 7/8 alum bar for handlebars. i think the stright bars willmake it even more comfortable. the forn of this thing just seems to be way high up and i feel like i'm riding a chopper. is this how it's supposed to feel???? honestly i haven't been on a trike in about 10 years so i don't even remember how they feel to ride.

i'm gettign alot of crap from my mom today about this thing. my parents aren't exactly trike lovers. (far from it) she's been bitching oday how i'm gonna kill myself on this thing and then she says that not only is it a trike that already dangerous as hell. then i hev to go and put an alky drag motor in it. all i could reply with was "if it makes you feel any better i'm putting a twist throttle and a fully exposed out of frame drag pipe on it too!" then she was really not happy with me.

anyway i'll snag a couple of pics later today. hopefully the nieghbor gets home soon so i can get a little help on the exhaust

That sucks about your mom but at least you are building it to go in a straight line. Its not like you are going to go out and jump dunes and shit on it. Tell her atleast you have a hobby and aren't out getting stoned and smoking crack. At least you are doing something productive.
