Kawasaki ZRX 1100 "Homebuilt" trike

No Kawasaki section? Oh well, probably should go here anyway.

This guy is in a wheelchair but built a really nice 3 wheeler for himself.

It is now solid black, but he built the rear axle assembly himself. It is really nice!

Great fabrication work! I wonder if it has a differential. If it does I can't see it, gonna make it hard to steer if it don't. I've been kicking around doing this to my KLR for back road travel. Sorta adventure touring on a 3 wheeler.

Oh yes, that was the really nice part of the build. There are a lot of pics on the link I posted.

OK, cool. I looked at a lot of the pictures but didn't see that one. I may save the pictures in case I get fired up to build the KLR. That's a better looking differential than the Pinto that most use. Looks a lot lighter to. Are the two tabs on the frame the only mounting point for the swing arm? If so, I'd be a little concerned about the twisting force (the leverage from the rear wheels) from cornering. Otherwise it's a nice clean job of fabrication.
