Anyone have any input on this or there thoughts? Look like it could be a good deal or not? Thinking of giving them a call.

Thanks.

Thats going to be your call Hippie. Cursory look of the pic I can tell the frame is bent (front fender rub marks from the head). It's going to need a pull starter (125.00 new). Seat pan is probably gone (Trike Heaven in Australia has them for about 90.00, add 35.00 for foam blank from DRATV as well as a cover for 40.00. Gas tank is more then likely rusted badly (65.00 on Ebay). Engine rebuild, carb rebuild, brake pads, brake cable, chain, and bearings just to throw out the most commonly replaced parts. Possibly tires and plastic. It adds up fast.

I have to go out of town for work for a few days and am leaving in the morning (Have to be in dallas for Tues morning) and will be back thurs or friday and if he still has it I am going to go check it out and maybe if the price is right I just might bring it home. :D

Hopefully its the forks and not the frame or either that is bent but either way im sure it can be fixed. :)

Thank you everyone for the input and others are free to keep posting there thoughts.

Bummer - the listing has been deleted. Was that because you decided to go ahead and get it? :shrug:

And don't worry about the bent frame, there's lots of info here about how to straighten it. :thumbsup:
