Haha .. So the search for the criminals have been narrowed to someone riding or selling a Honda quad with nice hair 
Anyway back to the trike..
What's the axle n sproket setup you have going on there

Standard new 42 tooth rear sprocket chromed, 14 tooth chromed front sprocket and standard rear axle chromed with 1.5 inch block spacers per side. Would have preferred 2.5's but the offset of the deep wheels makes up for it.
I just put a set of black 10 inch beadlock wheels with holeshot tyres on the rear of it as I'm taking it out to the bush again in the morning for an hour or so to finish breaking in the engine and make sure everything is sweet for OzDay.

The other day when i rode it, when i stopped i had heaps of fuel pouring out the overflow hoses of the 39mm PWK so i took the carby off and raised the float a little. It solved the overflow problem but im wondering, could this make it run lean at all?
Heres a vid of me running it today. The Flotek 330 top end feels incredibly strong. I can wait to get it out on the sand.

Heres a vid of it i took the other week. This was its second time on the sand but still wasnt jetted correctly.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghWn2cBaI0w
Here it is today at its first show.
Its been a long road to get to this point but it has been totally worth it. I had plans to get it airbrushed but my funds dont allow for it so ive gone with chrome honda wing decals instead, One day i may get it done along with getting the seat professionally recovered.
I'd like to have a thank you list but i fear i may forget someone as so many people have helped in this build so to all that have helped in one way or another, Thank You.
So there it is... My 1983 ATC250R Build Up. Finished. Cheers

Today was the trikes show debut...
As its an 83 ATC 250R it was limited in categories.
It ended up competing for "Best In Show" and "Best Trike"
I won Best Trike!
You know what was awesome.... 80% of the crowd didn't seemed interested in Harleys etc... They related sooo much to the trike. I had a lot of great conversations and met a lot of cool people who wanted to talk trikes too.
I shared this win with my father who has helped and supported more than most people know. This has been the best bonding situation for us ever. He likes fishing, we tried that.... I'm easily frustrated! (He is still fishing rods out of the river)
Any who... Today, we shared something awesome...
Best Trike: Winner!

Hey everybody, long time - no post so i think an update is in order.
This is the last time that i rode it with Mart, ButcherBoy and Haggle.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGCDkEVUjuI
This is the result..
The cause of that was this.
With the trike out of action and with me doing a panel beating/ spray painting course at TAFE i thought it was a perfect time to respray my tank which had got a paint bubble in it and had aquired a nice dent from when i fell off and was run into by a quad that was closely following.
My first go at painting with a gun...
With the trike starting to look decent again it was time to get the engine fixed.
Around this time Mart contacted me and offered to rebuild it and get it all set up and dialled in properly. I told him that i appreciated the offer but couldnt afford it as i'd been doing it extremely financially tough. Mart also had a resolution to that problem aswell... He did it for FREE!
Seriously, what a great friend. Thank you Mart.
Heres the pics he sent me during the rebuild. Oh, not only did he rebuild the engine etc but he also pulled it from the trike and then refitted it and had it all back together for me. Unbelievable! THANX AGAIN BROTHER!!!
Around this time i mentioned to dear ol' Mart that there was a bike show coming up and id love to enter the trike and wondered what his thoughts on it being finished in time where... Well he put everything he was doing on his quad to get it ready to race on hold and focused on my trike, Seriuosly! What a deadset champion. The results of all his efforts...
I am yet to ride it but i'll let you all know how she goes.
Thanks again Mart.
Cheers.

Nah mate, funny thing was, they came up to me and insisted I take their pic with it then they followed me around for about an hour. Took a while before I realised my fly was down and my ol' mate was sticking out!
