what an incredible pile of crap! While it would not be the right machine for me, and I certainly wouldn't carry a passenger on the trunk, it might be serviceable for some people. I'd want to check out that homemaid rear-end real good first. |

I won't bad mouth it, looks like a good solo trike to me. Some solo riders can't ride a two wheeler. Could be a good buy, judging from the bids so far. Good find, Paxton. Hoser  |

It could be a good RAT-ROD / Bar Hoper in LA. ??? Mother in law in trunk!   I have the fender and the tank in Black ... seating on my shelf, ready to install.  Just another toy!  You'd be surprised the junk that passes for KOOL in my neck of the woods! |

I agree, it looks like a piece of crap but, it does have potential if one could pick it up cheap enough to fix it right.
Year:1998
Mileage: 15,700
If I wasn't strapped for cash, I'd be looking into this, what concerns me is, what has been done that isn't fixable. Could this frame be used with a RoadSmith? Can't tell from the pictures, so it would be a gamble.

at least with the rhino liner paint job, don't need to wax it. Probably will not show scratches either.  |

All in all... I don't think the guy did such a bad job. Fairly clean and I also like the Rhino paint. I'd ride it as a second Valk.

Wheel base looks too short. +1, or the track looks to narrow. Or both. |
