Description

“Thumper”
Reverse trike project
This is a very cool single seat reverse trike project that needs finishing. It has an aluminum nose and a steel frame. The engine is an inline one cylinder 500cc “thumper” from a Yamaha SR500. The front frame and suspension components are Triumph Spitfire. There is still some welding to do on the frame and body. The front suspension, rakes and steering need to be sorted out, s well as a number of other details. The gear selector and clutch are in the left hand (see pictures). The fuel tank has a vintage magnetic flip gas cap from an early GT6 (worth about $150 btw). The rear wheel is XS 650. The three springs and shocks are adjustable units from Yamaha R1.
Please plan to pick this up in Oxford, a. 01540
The front wire wheel is not included ( it is the spare for my GT6).
