Three long plank's will work for ramps, or most motorheads have ramps or friends with them. You have the brain to figure it out so all rolls back off the table and out the garage door. It would be awesome to get some ride time on a race track with that beast, just to push the limits with out worrying about other drivers.

FuzzMan I am so aware of this and I need room for the car and this way I can put the bike on the right side along the shelves. Now I will be working on the upper frame rails (upper control arms) and seat, steering and gas tank areas, I cannot do welding here yet so it will have to be broke down and moved with my car (no truck or trailer) I am working on that also. Don't you just love many little serious problems, :xzqxz:

OK guy's does this tell you one of the ways to roll the RT off the table? One of the best pieces of advice from my father was, "Where there's a will, There's a way"...Just take the front wheels off and YES I have 2 of them...
my wheels center line is 12.5 inchs of the ground and the seat is 1.5 to 2 inch's above that, so me the rider should be sitting at 13.5 to 14 inch's off the ground and a inch or two above wheel center line. Ed Roth designed trike. Interesting

Am I reading this right? You have a Roth trike? Wow so lucky, I met the man 3 times and what a wonderful person, he made me think auto styling...
I bought the trike from my neighbor, believe this the trike was her mothers, guess she had boyfriends that built it for her, so the story went.
Never met ED, but his design looks good, man that would be awesome to spend time chatting.
He was given the patent in 1973, and my trike was registered in NV in 1976, and this makes me wonder about things and have questions, so a sit down with the past would be a blast for me.
Hope all the best, ride safe.

I am not happy with the upper frame rails being 19" wide and the seat less? floor boards? But the engine is 16.5" wide? SOOOOO!!! I think it's time to set the engine and do a work around after the front control arm upper rails are finished, I should take a upper photo of seat and rails. Mocked up the gas tank brace and tie end for the rear engine mount and seat...
I too like the one long seat compared to the two piece seat. I hope all works out for it.

:LooksGreat:Taking shape and looking good!
if the brace has to stay because of the engine, well why not bring back the steering bracket back on angle with the handle bar design ?I thought it looked upright to much to me, but I have not designed such a project, so I just watch and learn as I can. I could be wrong, but should we finish out the enegine and all that in the mock up so you can see it all, than look at the handle bar design. Your game, just a fan in the stands, LOL.

2nd what Andy said, but I see now that you will tilt the bars back.....am I seeing foot pegs on the side shown? first glance I thought feet would be ahead of the shocks...lol that tank will give a nice touch! good progress.
I know, I know what time it is! Time to see about an engine fitting into the new area ?Or is it, Spring has sprung and the sun is out and so it is Ride Time ?I love to ride.

Lowered the tank 1" to clear the handlebars in turns, but still in mock up and fitment seems to be working ok, I have the doner bike for measurements...
Tomorrow I will on the uprights for the control arms, 20 degrees. Nice azz huh?
