This Tri Rod that I recently got has old reminents of a electric start system.
A battery box and a old solenoid that looks like it could be factory.
Is it possible that it was a electric start model ?
I was under the impression that only the street legal versions had electric start.
This trike also looks to have had lights and possibly turn signals.
It also has the optional spoke front wheel but this front wheel has a drum brake.
I thought only the street legal trikes had brakes.
This trike also has a Indiana Inspection sticker that expired in 1980 on the left front fork.
What is more confusing is I thought this is a wrong model to be street legal.
I thought the street legal models used the longer chassis/body.
The tag is gone on this trike and any decals on the body are painted over.
You may also notice the last owner replaced the rear shocks with solid struts.
So any Tri Sport gurus here or anyone know where to find Tri Sport literature to help shed light on some of my questions ?
