It has the original small rear wheels (235x15) and a small front wheel with aluminium hub, worn steering head bearings and broken fork bushes. The gel-coat was a bright blue flake but is now very dull. It does have running boards, a top box and a big petrol tank, but the tank is cracked. In 98 the Trikes had the smaller German top boxes and no glove-box (neither of which are real water proof, and I find the glove box a total waste of fibre glass... but that's just me.) The front wheel hub was broken because the aluminium hubs just didn't handle the roads here in OZ. On later models they got replaced with steel hubs and we had no more problems. The 50L Petrol tank on the donor trike is cracked on the top brackets because the tank only had one support bracket sitting on the torsion bar. On later models the tanks had brackets on both sides which stopped that problem. The Trike must have spent most of its life outside and looked pretty neglected when we bought it. The gel coat looks dull and is bright blue metal flake…. not that there is anything wrong with that colour!... just that it isn't the look Ollie and Margaret were after. The Trike wasn't knocked around or badly treated just in desperate need of TLC which makes it perfect for a rebuild. The motor has done less than 25,000km and sounds real nice and the rest of the trike is in pretty good nick.
