To add to the picture the Tri-Sport RTS-8 was probably the best selling of the small frame trikes that were in that series. Plenty of power and a very reliable engine. I had a lot of fun with our shop demo a good handling trike. I have had them all the 5 HP and the MAC and there all fun and worth the restoration effort.

Well I got the kart ahead of the horse again. After looking at all the pictures in Fat Boy's picture section I will tell you my unsolicited opinion.
It is the small frame RTS-8 and has a lot of factory accessories added like the rear fenders, only the big frame RTS came with them.
The front wheel is the right one, the Street Legal trikes all came with a 10 inch spoked wheel with a drum brake. And this trike has the stock band brakes and would never be allowed on a street legal machine.
The lighting kit was a generic kit not the same as was supplied on the street legal units. The head rest and rear rack was just an accessories item and does look good for a dressed up trike.
The small frame RTS series in stock form would go about 35 to 40 MPH with an adult rider.
I did make our shop RTS-8 street legal even with the drum brakes but that was just my dealing with the local California DMV and we all know how dumb they are. LOL
As the the offered trike by Fat Boy the price is very fair and should make for some great fun times.
