Three wheeled street ATV's

[Holyman]

I've got a Blaster with a blown engine and I was thinking of making it a low riding street ATV but I was wondering a few things.

Are there any enduro style tires {on/off road} that will fit a streetbike {like an R6} rear wheel?

Does anyone know where I can look at pics of such bikes?

I know there was a guy that used to come to the HQ who lived in Puerto Rico who had a street Banshee that was lowered but had 4 wheels. So far I'm thinking I will never find a way to do an ATV with 4 wheels so I'll to 3 and make it streetable.

I remember seeing a 3 wheeled banshee that someone made street legal and posted it...I'll look and see if I can find it for you

I'd have to make something that looked better than that. The one with the truck tires on it is just way too much.

just my .02 so dont take offense. but those bike just look dumb. If I was going to build a 3 wheeled ATV why start with a four wheeler? What about an 86 ATC250r or 86 tecate3? Or what the hell, maybe a TRI-Z with a banshee engine...... Seems it would be easier, and definately cooler looking in the end.

In 1986 I was doing a donut with my ATC 250R and it grabbed throwing me off balance and the full weight and momentum of the trike and me onto my left knee. Fortunately I didn't break anything but almost 20 years later, I still have the messed up knee. I was good at riding ATC but the fact is the 2 wheels in back concept is difficult to handle. You also have the problem with the straight axle which would most likely have to be changed to one with a differential.

The Blaster is already in my garage and I do have 2 complete RZ engines on the shelf and having a single rear drive wheel is more stable and eliminates the hassles with the differential. It can still be licensed as a motorcycle and could easily be made streetable. The ones shown are not the best looking, there are better. Mine would probably look worse but It's an idea I've been toying with for a long time.

The old ATC250R were nasty mofos!! Well im into anything that would have a nice fit and finish but thos examples need a little work.

My banshee's almost street legal for Montana, and with all 4 wheels. Just need a horn, mirror, license plate, working tail light/headlights, and spark arrestor. Of course already have working tail lights/headlights, and spark arrestor.

 

From what I understand around here, you don't need blinkers (I'm doing it anyway) or different tires. I think I'm going to have to wait on legalizing it for a bit though... poor thing's going to undergo a winter rebuild/rebirth starting in a few weeks.
