looks like it is a home built. looks good though. if done right nothing wrong with that

 

[pmascarenas]

think it is worth 6500.00

Looks like it would steer easy and be comfortable to drive. The motors a little much and should have more then enough power. If you like the looks of it and it is well made, then it would be wroth that.

As I posted in your other thread if its in as good of shape as it looks then yes it is worth it.

The 2007 cc stroker motor should be a pretty good power plant for you. It uses stock VW rods and 95mm Pistons so it will have VW longevity with added torque. Won't run too hot and still have decent fuel mileage.

There is a corvair trike at The Trike Shop in Daytona Beach .. It is home built, but
it was put together right .. It is for sale .. Think they are asking $14K for it ... It is
a good looking trike and sounds awesome ...

well i bought the vw trike, he went for 6000.00 he said he had 10000.00 invested. had it for sale for 8000.00 then 7500.00

now to find insurance AAA i guess

 

[Gorilla]

All Sate insures mine here in Florida Congrats

 

[Woolie]

Progressive insures mine, all I have is liability, but if you only have 6000 in why pay for more than liability.

looking to put a bench type seat on the trike, any one close to fontana ca. that does trike body work?

 

[pmascarenas]

Well had trouble selling the trike, nothing but low ballers out there.
Traded it for a 2003 Yamaha Roadstar 1600 with a bunch of extras added to the bike.
i was happy with the trike but wanted something that was freeway worthy, i felt the trike was not freeway worthy due to the front suspension being so stiff, was inverted fork type.
Will either get a outrigger type unit for the motorcycle or sale it off and get something else.
