homebuilt reverse trike, first attempt

New member, figured I ought to post up some pics. Here's my first effort at a reverse trike, used a Honda HawkGT frame for propulsion and built down/forward from that. Drivers cell was mocked up in wood & PVC around the seat, and everything laid out from there. Last pic shows our daughter sitting in it, prior to the front ride height being adjusted. As a time reference, she's 22 now, so this was a few years ago. Learned a lot ... mostly that there's more to front suspension setup than I'll ever understand. Fun vehicle, lots of "speed sensation" being down that close to the road. Took up a lot of room in the shop though.

Thanks for sharing that, that is close to the ground. I bet it was a blast to drive.

Kewl looking ride ... seems to me you did pretty well ... :D ... hope this means you are looking at another build ... I for one love the build threads.

It was educational, no doubt about that. The second build was a lot simpler and more versatile, am currently on my third which hopefully will fall somewhere in between the first two in terms of layout and functionality.

That was pretty, freaking cool! I wonder how it progressed?
