Corvair powered 3 legged Iron Horse .... Front mounted if possiblie
Nope the one on the bottom, is what I want to build or a reasonable looking kinda Texas Outlaw looking trike …. I want to have Corvair motor mounted up front …. Making the overall bike shorter …. I want to use the Corvair suspension parts incorporated with GS 1200 Frame …. the Motor on the Car is held in with three bolts ….
I have a attempt at building a Trike from a VW. I have a Motorcycle shop, owner that's getting Me a Titled GS 1200 Frame. Now all I have to do is Cobble all this together into something I can ride & maybe carry a Passenger. I figure there should be someone Here who could advise Me one how to go about this ….
My Motorcycle shop man says use the Corvair motor, (rotates CCW) with the VW (motor rotates CW) Trans-axle, what I would like to do is, Mount Corvair motor forward of Trans-axle.
Here's a photo of the look I'm after …. Anything Yawl can suggest or help with would Be appreciated ….
Here's what I'm thinking ….. ???
The Corvair total rear ASSY …. frame and all mounting pieces, motor & trans axle, Motor cycle man say's just swap direction of ring gear, in differential, that should work …. trouble is the old Corvair has a Automatic …. been setting awhile.
I bought this the other day for $100 bill …. I figured the tank, front forks & wheel, and VW standard tranny was worth the price ….. That being said I'm concerned about the Texas registration law on Home build's ….. I've checked the law …. couldn't find anything derogatory …. I'll read more later …. Must go to work ….
The photo on the above is the look I'd like, but I can't afford the Springer !!! …
