My own trike conversion for V Star 1100

[Pre-1898]

after having checked the prices for trike kit for my Yamaha V Star 1100 classic, I have decided that I would make My own conversion. So far so good ! the mechanic is almost done ( just the driveshaft left to be done , they I will finish my rear body etc. <br />
<br />
Here is a few pics of where I am in this project<br />

nice going what rear did you use? Is the body hooked to the rear end or the frame?

Hey! This is pretty impressive <img src="images/smilies/sSig_goodjob.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Good job" class="inlineimg" />! Looks like a great Autumn / Winter project.<br />
<br />
If I'd TRY to *build* a trike, I would've A) taking the rear end off B) getting discouraged, and C) sold all of the parts on eBay.<br />
.
