shriva Posted August 23, 2008 Share #1 Posted August 23, 2008 Reverse trike, hammerhead trike,tadpole trike.. whatever you want to call it.. Two wheels in front and one in the back. I'm planing on starting one this winter... Heres the plan... (in simple terms) 1. Get a donor car. (small front wheel drive automatic car) 2. Then chop off everything from the dashboard back. 3. Leaving the whole front end, that i can then weld on a frame leading back to the single rear wheel. 4. Then fabricate a fiberglass or carbon fiber body to make it look cool..lol 5. Ride it off into the sunset! -------------------------------- SOOOOOOOO.... Has anyone done something like this here? What are some of the "major" problems i might run into? Couple options.. Leave it a side by side 2 seater. Or make seating like a reg bike 2 seater astride. Side by side i could leave most of the stearing alone i think.. Astride i would have to change it around somehow, to center the stearing handlebars. Basicly just an idea so far.. just thinking of starting to plan it out. Its had to be done before so i'll of course google it and see what i can find.. but wanted to see if anyone here had done anything like this?

Carbon_One Posted August 24, 2008 Share #4 Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Saw set up similar to that at a trikers rally but they didn't use a donor car. It was a Honda VTX with dual wheels up front. It was still driven by the rear wheel and mc engine thou. Got a pic of it somewhere in the files so will post it up later.
