Reverse Trike Motorcycle DIY

[@tonybucca5667]

I have an 85 Yamaha FJ600 that I've been planning on doing something like this for years! NICE JOB!

[@johnironsmith4402]

Thanks!

[@Danogstunter]

Great work bro, whoever disliked it doesn’t have creativity or the mind power to build anything

[@johnironsmith4402]

Hey thanks dude, I appreciate it😃

[@johnironsmith4402]

Was pointing at the brake booster knowing it was a brake booster and calling it a power steering thing:) Funny how the mind works when making videos.

[@ktmpasser]

Nice work. I would love to build one someday.

[@johnironsmith4402]

Hey thanks, I think you will build one soon because they are FUN!

[@cliffordharley4322]

John Ironsmith careful! Once you get the bug, there’s no turning back! You’ve been warned!

[@chri2halty954]

@@johnironsmith4402 Sir. Get the stock manifold and carbs. That's +30hp

[@StanwoodStudios]

Awesome work! Love it

[@zipedadoo]

Dude way cool. I have a 1000cc Honda magna I have been wanting to do this with. If you still think your intake leaks you can take it off and hook up a vacuum cleaner to it (plug all the other ports). Then use JB weld on all the seams . The vacuum will suck the weld in any pin holes and make it air tight. Awesome job though. Cheers

[@johnironsmith4402]

hey thanks for the tip! Super cool idea

[@TeionSimmons]

You have any specs on how to build frame

[@tonybucca5667]

I shudder to think about having to pull the engine on that in the future.

[@G-GFactoryMade]

Awesome vid, thanks dude!

[@Iowa599]

I'm not sure the front upper control arms are strong enough, since you removed so much. By now you should know!

[@cliffordharley4322]

Hey John, just came across your video! Kudos to you! I’ve built from scratch several “reverse” (the right way) trikes! Several years ago I built a trike using a Chevy chevette front suspension and used a similar shock setup! It worked great! I used a Honda gold wing for power! I’m currently swapping a 2008,150cc gy6 drivetrain out of a trike I built from scratch and installing a 2002 Yamaha VMax into it! You can see the entire build on my channel! The VMax is coming up! Just click on my profile pic!

[@johnironsmith4402]

That's awesome Clifford. I'm going to check out ur video. I love this stuff. Next trike I'm building will be electric with solar panels:) I've had the bug for a while but its a good bug... prolongs lifespan somehow...

[@willgroff84]

Awesome see you in the apocalypse

[@Fifty_eight_0]

Nice bike! How fast do you think this can go? Like, is it safe at highway speed?

[@JayOhEnEnWhyEx]

I wish i could do this with my Virago 1100

[@crackmonkey5012]

So using a motorcycle engine are you getting typical mpg???

[@johnironsmith4402]

No it's pushing an extra 500 pounds with more wind drag. Probably losing 10 mpg, but haven't measured it.😁

[@crackmonkey5012]

John Ironsmith very interesting you should consider figuring out the mpg somehow and do a video over it

[@scootergem]

I like it

[@Hemilife-ch5ui2vm8v]

How many CC in the engine

[@johnironsmith4402]

750cc Honda magna engine

[@sotiv]

Hey men can you give me your plan please

[@seanpatrick3047]

you built this trike but couldn't rebuild those 4 carbs? wtf?

[@johnironsmith4402]

Good question Sean I actually did rebuild them when I bought the wrecked bike. They were off the bike in pieces and I fabbed my own gaskets for them, (original were missing), it was a pain in the ass but better than the $100+ for OEM replacements. Got the bike running crystal perfect with them. Then the house and garage flooded and I took them apart *again* a few months later..... some non-metal parts I don't know the name of looked wrecked and they were very expensive to replace... also beyond my carb rebuilding skillset. All the replacement parts for the 4 carbs would have been more than what I paid for the bike and more than what I would pay for a running used bike. But I do love to weld and would rather deal with one carb than 4 and have to sync them. Not to mention VW carbs are pretty straight forward and $65. About a quarter of the cost of just replacement parts. And......4 separate carbs on a 4 cylinder bike is inarguably excellent for performance unless you have EFI. But for maintenance and dependability, they EFFING suck balls..... in my humble opinion.

[@cliffordharley4322]

John Ironsmith don’t sweat the haters! You did it your way and gained a wealth of knowledge to boot!
