Here are a couple of pics of our (TPC Trikes) rider Eric Jensen hitting his freestyle ramp for the first time on a 3 wheeler.

That's so sick. I'd love to ride one.

I'm suprised we don't see people doing that with dual sport bikes. I've thought about it but never done it.

The engine is a TRX/CRF hybrid combo. The lower end (cylinder and down) is from the TRX and the top end (cylinder head and up including the carb.) is from the CRF. There is no port or valve work done to it. Other than the titanium silencer it is all OEM stock Honda parts. It will run away from most CRF hybrid ATV's and most TRX 450's. The bike gear ratios hurt the CRF hybrids and the detuned TRX head hurts the TRX engines.

Other mods include a LoneStar swingarm, Axcalibar axle, Lone Star anti-fade, caliper mount, bearing carrier, and wheel hubs. Sidewinder Ti 2 sprockets with smart chain. Handlebars are over sized Tag CR low bend with Sunline V1 MDX Brake Lever and SL-4 clutch assembly with MDX lever. FTR powersports did the graphics. PRM-ATV built us an engine skid plate and also supplied the grab bar. There is also some small aftermarket stuff like chain blocks/sliders, wheels, air filter, silicone rad hoses, water pump cover/prop.

Pretty soon we will have a DC-6 link and PEP shock on the rear and the forks will be re-valve and re-sprung.

I designed and built the frame and designed the triple clamps and front hub and sent them off to my machinest who then CNC'd them from aircraft grade 6061-T6 aluminum. I also designed the front axle and had that made up by my machinest. Everything else is from either the TRX or CRF 450 except the front fender, and that is a Maier 86/87 200X.

so we can keep this thread on the freestyle subject here is a link with other trikes we built. http://www.exriders.com/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=402950

I got a chance to meet eric jenson this season at Cory creek near Brazil,IN. He is a great dude to meet. I already knew about the trike but it was great to hear all the people that didn't know asking about it. Hope to see eric and the atc sometime again it made my day.
