yep and the oil will leak out that way.
My '04 Dyna Lowrider.....just got the fenders back from the painters. 
Very happy with the way it turned out. Now just need some warm weather!

Pic of my '58 Panhead trike
This pic is from 1972 of the first 'bolt on' trike I built from my '58 Panhead . Wasn't sure I wanted a trike so .......
I used a HD drum brake rear end ,wheel adapters (front spindles and drums) were from late 60's early 70's Dodge that I welded up to the original wire wheels( after a lot of trimming to make things fit) . Used the original swingarm and fender rails , original foot clutch from HD . Had a jockey shift . The front end was either 8" or 10" over ( I knew a local manufacturer that made fork tubes so I got a lot of free stuff) , 13" wide tires at the rear Took me 3-4 months for the build . I guess you would have called it a chopper trike at the time . Even with the raised front end it handled pretty good ,no wobble or shake at freeway speed . Besides this I ended up building 2 Sportster trike done the same way .. I don't recall any other bolt on's around when I built these .

I like it Lance, old school all the way around, very cool.
'58 Panhead trike
I bought the '58 Panhead in the summer of '70 for $150.00 . The only thing I needed to do was to change the oil and put some gas in it and change the plugs . It was in good mechanical shape . Rode it for a little over a year before starting the conversion .

I think you’re right about the Motor Trike kit, I had a Goldwing with a kit that looked just like that and it was Motor Trike. Nice looking trike by the way!

1951 Servicar turned chopper
I redid this 1951 45 flathead back in 1976 It had 3 forward gears and 1 reverse on a suicide shifter. top speed was 55 mph.. that was uphill.. downhill.. or straight out.. I rode it for 1 summer with 3 other friends and got to the point that I couldn't keep up so I sold it and got a brand new Sportster I found this picture and it brings back a ton of memory's.. I have never seen it on the rode since I sold it.. I wish I could find it again just to see it
But I am really happy with my 2014 Tri Glide its got tunes :laugh:

I've wanted a Harley since I was 18 years old and never really thought it would be possible due to my small size. Well, fast forward 37 years and I am now the proud owner of a Harley-Davidson XL1200C converted trike and I call her Trinity.
The first photo is what it looked like before I started making changes.
Second photo is the trike parked in front of our local Harley dealership after changes have been made. Some of what I've done has been to change the front wheel from a 21" spoked wheel to a 19" cast aluminum wheel and powder coated the front and rear wheels. Changed out the handlebars to a set of HD reduced reach bars, installed an EZ Clutch, smaller grips, adjustable clutch lever and brake lever and set to the smallest setting, removed the luggage rack and lowered the plate holder to the bottom of the rear fender, powder coated several removable items (mirrors, brake lever, crash bar, etc.) gloss black, changed out the front brake to a 4 piston brake from 2 piston and in the process of installing new brake system on the rear to help with stopping. A few other things have been done here and there but I'm basically done with the exception of getting a Cafe fairing from Memphis Shades. Oh, planning on completely redoing the lights and adding blinky stuff so that I am more readily seen.
This photo is just an artsy fartsy edited photo of the trike sitting in front of my buddy's house:
Another edited photo:
And last but not least, "Sweeney" Tod himself with a cheesy grin:
That's all folks! Have a great day!
