Rode my customer's trike (with DTM Type 4)
really difficult NOT to do wheelies- engine
stays below 275F (cold)at the head. It does not accelerate- it lunges from one point to
another. A tad too testy for me.

What I want to know is that a modified stock shroud or is it a custom made shroud? It looks very cool and might look great for my buggy.

That shroud does look groovy, doesn't it? Probably a bit difficult to do a T4>T3 conversion with it since there's no provision for that boot...
But, it does look nifty. I e-mailed the seller last night about the shroud, but no response yet. I'll letcha guys know if he responds...
Take care,
Shad

Hello-
Well, I got a reply from him. He just said that yes, it is custom just like most stuff on there. No details... <sigh>
Take care,
Shad

That is pretty cool!
But what about a Type IV powered Harley looking motorcycle!

Wow! that harley type thing is mental! That must have taken a while to build. Wonder what it sounds like with those pipes?

The shroud on the trike seems very familiar, might have seen something like it on a buggy in France years ago. If not it was in a magazine, looks a bit pro. being a one-off.

It sounds great! Not sure how he worked out the shifting but seemed to not have a problem at Bristol Dragway/Thunder Valley Bug Blast this year.
