I'm probably nuts for even thinking of it. . . .but! I have a 1976 TT500 Yamaha 2 wheeler in addition to my trike (200x) and 2 spare and complete engines + 1 frame. These things are the torquiest things out there, power from idle to redline. PURE GRUNT! I'm thinking one of the spare motors would make an awsome trike. Has anyone heard of this implant being done?? They're pretty tall motors, won't fit in a 200x frame. Any ideas out there you guys??

I rode with a guy in the late 80's that used the bike frame and motor to convert into a 3 wheeler.

Hmmmm! Thanks RapidRick! The gears are a turnin' now! These motors are such "Beasts"!! When I start (Notice: NOT "If I start . ."!!) the project I'll keep a running update for everyone. Oh, this is gonna be Greeeeattt!!
