this is my custom trike. this is a home made trike, don't remember guys name. my dad purchased this in the early 80's. The trans is a vega air cooled gmth350, the engine is a corvair flat 6. the first picture is of the neck that is currently on it. i had a guy install this and was supposed to help finish project but he is not returning calls. i measured angle of neck and come up with 45degress. i have purchased a front wheel of 19". i figure trans weights 120 lbs and motor is 225 lbs and add for driver. i hope this angle is correct and need to order front end to match. interested in your thoughts as to what to use for best results. thank you

i would plan on a set of raked trees or a leading link front end.... you are going to have a lot of trail ...= hard steering
