Safe to say that if you have any hope on this trike being restored to any sort of former glory you shouldn't get anywhere near it, let alone sit on it.
Give me a call and let me know how much you want for it.
I might be willing to swap it for a KFX700 if you get in quick.
I have a couple of people looking at it on monday.
Will be at Yarram this weekend (back Sunday) |

Okay chaps, the peice of crap has found its way home to me finally. What other types of wheels will fit this , want a nice alloy type, and how do I get around the front wheel, brake assembly and an alloy wheel. And plastics, who in the states makes these... and any good US based fourums out there on the yammies.
cheers and thanks chaps

How much did you pay for it Yogie? and more to the point how much do you want to sell it for, I have a secret fetish for Yamaha Trikes.

well a secret benafactor here has made an extremly over the top offer and as we talk, disscusions are taking place, and should he not buy it, well it might have to rest in peace in the back shed for another 10 years then it might be worth somthing after all.

Well good luck to the future buyer, looks like a bit of work is required to restore it to it's former glory. Nice to hear someone appreciate it though, rather than taken to the tip like was mentioned earlier.

Just an up date on the ugly one, this yammahauler is actually the standard trike with a rack, take it off and it becomes the standard model again, found taped uner the plastics the actual plugs that push in where the racks come through... Not such bad trike after me thinks, tracked down some plastics and waiting for shipped out price from the states. Sent a load of stuff off to the powder coaters this morning.
Any ideas on the forks, looking pretty crap, could i get them hard chromed to build them back up or who does reco's on forks now a days in regards to seals springs and the like.
