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.

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.
