Hey everyone,
I spend the last 6 years designing and building a reverse trike (2 wheels in the front, 1 in the back). The reason I'm joining is because the engine for this toy is from an '84 GPz1100. I just recently got through the rediculous PADOT registration process for specially constructed vehicles. Now that I've driven the trike more than 5 minutes at a time I'm finding some issues that need attending too. I'll do some searching to try and find my answers but otherwise you will be hearing from me in the technical forums...
For anyone interested in more info on the build you can check it out in my build log (hopefully it's okay to add a link to another site) www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=3198&start=0

It's ok guy, nobody here would want a '84 GpZ-1100 in stock trim anyway. 
Now if it had been a Blue KZ650-C1 it would be a different story.

Hi welcome to the forum. I was watching the video and thought the roads looked familiar. I live just up the road on 322. Do you still have the gas tank.

28 Feb 2013 23:55I have to admit I didn't start out looking for a GPz, but it was the first "big 4" I came across with FI that was affordable. The more I researched the GPz the more I liked the idea of it.but you shoulda used a suzuki
Hey neighbor! The gas tank is available, along with the frame, forks, wheels and other bits and pieces. Pictures of whats for sale to follow when I can wrestle my laptop with the pictures away from my wife...I live just up the road on 322. Do you still have the gas tank.

i cant believe the guys on here can get upset at someone altering a GPZ1100 Dan, first thing someone does is stretch, squeeze, lower, raise everything that turns up here
