New to this forum, will have a lot of questions. I'm in Mississippi and the trike is actually my wife's. We bought it a couple of weeks ago because she is scared of 2 wheels and wanted something a light on the wallet to begin with to make sure she would like it. It's a 1976 Honda CB750A (Hondamatic) trike, supposedly a dealer installed trike kit. This was used by an escort company in Tulsa, OK, mainly to escort funeral processions. The trikes rarely got used and this one only has 34K miles on it so far. I have a long way to go on this one, and lots of questions.
This is what it looked like when we picked it up:

And this is it as of right now:
CB750A phase 1 by lugnut1009, on Flickr
I planned to drop the rear end quite a bit, definitely different rear tires and wheels, maybe lengthen the rear end so a longer seat can be used for passengers, rake the front to attempt to help with steering, increase the gear ratio a little (tops out at 65mph right now), and do other odds and ends to make it a little more comfortable for my wife.

That’s a very cool Trike you have.
