KTM300 hybrid

[woodsracer144]

Well I finally picked up a KTM 300 yesterday, Its an 89 and she was in rough shape, the guy already had the motor pulled but he was a retard and left it sit out side with out a spark plug so you can guess what the crank and bearings are like...

He lost a ring on the top end and put a healthy scrach in it but it can be bored out.... ALOT!

I'm going to put it in one of the cannondale chassis I have, I say it on top of it before and it didnt look like to tight of a fit..

This is going to be a slow build, I will get alot of the fab work done towards winter cause thats when I'm supposed to be in Alum. at school then.

Enjoy

my next hybrid trike will be based off a ktm300exc. Using everything off the dirtbike as possible. My trike using stuff from crf450r, trx450r ans some from 250r is on it way going.

I guess your making a trike? I was thinking of making a trike out of the frame and stuff i have for this one but I dont know how to do the tripple clamps and all that, I've also heard they dont like to slide cause the frame is narrower than a ATC..

[deathman53]

it would be a custom framed trike, as are 2 of them I have now. many are building trikes out of crf450r dirtbikes and some are using yf450f dirtbikes.

[woodsracer144]

did TPC do them?

I'll have some more pics up weds. thats the only time i'll have to snap them and post them up.

TPC did some some of them that others did. A bunch of the dirtbike frame to trike conversions were done by JasonHall, both on this board. As I understand the dirtbike-trike conversions and TPC conversion use partially either the atv or dirtbike frame and custom make stuff is put on to the frames. My frames are 100% new and are based off existing things w/ different parts incorporated, they are made by Hre Atv. My atc450r is made to use, crf450r radiators, tank, shrouds, motor. Trx450r seat w/ flip-top conversion, rear suspension, rear fender, air box, air boot and, brake cylinder, groments. For the rear end, I can use trx250r or trx450r brakes and axle parts. Only "old" parts will be atc250r front hub, wheel and axle. It will be using a shortened cr250 front end w/ custom tripples.
