This looks cool.How easy is it to mount a 3 wheeler swing arm on a chain driven motorcycle?
Here's the caption :
This three wheeler started out with an 1981 Honda CB 750 motorcycle and ended up with Vance & Hines 4 into1 special order exhaust polished and jetted carbs. Aftermarket fenders,minor engine work, custom seat, custom forks, wheelie bar, paddles and a lot of TLC.

There's 1 about a mile from me, about 80% complete. Looks like it might have a Honda 550 in it, and slotted(deep dish) steet tires. Been wanting to stop by and ask about it.

I have one with a 550 in it, and a 4into1 exhaust that would blow your ears off...:naughty:

It's not just as tidy as the one in the pics above but it will be someday when we get round to restorin it..

How well does an on-road gearbox do offroad?

Not overly well, it's too fast and you tend to spend all your time in 1st & 2nd, and too heavy to be threw about off-road the way I would with the smaller trikes, but it's fine for a bit of trail runnin...and bloody scary on a road...

The only "proper" trikes are trikes with a fat front tire. It always has looked odd and off balance when I see trikes with a motorcycle front tire. That 750 is one clean job! I like it. That 550 of yours is pretty cool too Smurf.

Clean lookin ones in the thread. Those are scattered all around Socal. The old "drag trikes" of the early 80's all sorta looked like that. Sorta like 185s frames with big CB engines in em haha

That's beautiful work right there! But i'd be hesitant on pounding through deep sand whoops racin' up a hill though. Lots of weight would worry me.

There were companies at one time that made kits to add swing arms to street bikes. Tricky Dicks was one. Way more common from the midwest to the west coast.

This one was up at Silver Lake last summer.
It is a 76 KZ900 converted. Ran pretty awesome on the strip.
