Hey guys
We are starting a custom trike build.
It's for me and for those that don't know, I have a big bit of titanium where my left knee used to be so as a result I can only bend it to roughly 90 degrees which means I cannot comfortably ride any ol trike so a custom build is in order.
Currently I ride a cb125 bike that's converted to a trike, has a 200s engine, odyssey tyre on the front, custom triple clamps, custom swing arm, 90 axle and22x11x8 tyres and 70 guard and tank.
Problem - handles like crap and swing arm is bent.
So a new trike is in order, keeping the engine and going with a xl185 bike which the engine bolts straight into, custom swing arm, 84 250r front end incl wheel and tyre, 200s axle in rear, 185s seat and guard, original bike tank.
Strong frame with better knowledge on how the geometry for a trike should be will make this one alot better.

This is the current trike

Head stock will be cut off to fit up the 84 250r front end
The seat section will be cut off.
New seat section will be made including a mono shock mount.

Well we wont be doing that, the old girl will get a different motor and probably stay up and running as is.
Maybe a headstock angle adjustment could be in order though...
