    Ward has a Venom, which shares the same frame as the Viper I believe. He's posted Venom Update and Venom 2nd Renovation which you might find somewhat helpful. I like the things he's done with it and would probably follow-suit if I had one. :wink9:

    also like to mention that my kmx and my TerraTrike rover 8, bought new in 2011 and to date has never been inside of a LBS, and never had any major issues, but the kmx i think is about to go in to get the wheel alignment checked, one front wheel wearing quicker than the other, but i guess flying off curbs and bumping curbs to crawl over will do that, i ride my kmx like a teen rides his bmx lol

    on my f8 i had to upgrade the front wheels to 20 inch, i have problems squatting that low, and had to put handle bar extensions on (gave me a 90 degree angle on bars) my hands are shot even after 2 surgeries , and needed the extensions to remount my grips and shifters so i could shift gears, and added a derailer hanger to add a "T" to the boom to grab as i get up, and since it was there i upgraded to a triple chainring, now thinking fatter tires? i could never sell this trike i got way more into it than its worth lol, but its just how i need and want it to be, almost lol

    Bought a KMX kit from Utah Trikes and then went 9 speed rear and triple front. Then built up fronts with KMX hubs for a 26(559) all around. Runs great and soaks up bumps like suspension with 1.95 tires. KMX frames are the best for lower cost experimentation and are versitile and bullet proof.
