I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

After riding this beast, a pre75 version is on the to do list.

Seems fitting that an odd ball rides an odd ball bike...

Not odd to me but odd to others.
XR 200 engined RM 125 N , I had something simular in the 80's useing a Husky 125 frame not fast but you always smiled the whole time. Its still in the project stage hopefully ready for CD.

I started thinking about this and realised that all of my bikes are odd-ball. I think my upcoming KR 250 Maico dirt track rusteration racer is the oddest of the odd though.

Brad, if you're thinking of a pre '75 version of that Trico, you'll be restricted to 7" & 4" travel in all of the pre 75 divisions so you might as well build it as a stock framed pre 65er desert sled and cover more classes. Shit, it'd even make a half decent flat tracker. If you used a pre unit 650 or a unit 500 you may even squeeze it in as a pre 60 classer, answering all of your wishes in one swoop of the magic Sidchrome wand. It's a biig job fitting a 650 into a pre 75 Maico frame. Robbie Owens in Mackay built one a few years ago and it took a lot of work for not too much gain.
                                                                     
                                                                       
                                                                       Triumph 650 sled
                                                                     
                                                                      If it's good enough for McQueen, it's good enough for Van Barrelo ;)
