Being the sort that likes a good project~challenge, that is a mighty fine build.
Is that a horn in the middle of the front triple tree ???

Nice cruiser Fortin, john

Not a horn.... it is a Bombardier sign ''BPR'' because the engine is from a bombardier sled mini-z

There is no suspension at alls.
The seat is very confortable and the position is fun too.
As you can see on the last pic, it is geared to go very slow.... top speed is around 10 to 12 km/h (6 to 8 m/h) but it is very powerfull. I put the front wheel agains the wall in my garage and i was burning the tires with me (240lbs) siting on it

interesting design. one thing i was thinking is the seat. changing it to one that has a higher back (for kneck support) and also side parts so you don;t slide out the seat in a a hard turn (seat belt too maybe).

rest looks good. you coudl consider changing the gearing around to get a little more outta it.

Yes i will change the gearing to double the top speed up to 20 m/h.
I will keep the same seat because i will not be runing it that much.
I got ton of real trikes if i need for speed.

I like it! :w00t: :w00t:

I bet that thing would be a wheelie machine if you changed the gearing. Throw a cool paint job on that and some of these:

And make a mud racer !!

(I see a photochop coming for this one. :twisted: )

Wheelie machine with only 4 hp...... i am missing something.
But sometime you have to put aside the top speed, the wheelie ext... and put your ass on this trike and drive it slowly with a big smile on your face.
This is realy a fun machine but a 10 to 15 mins fun and after that you put it away in the garage and jump on the 250r yesssssss.:Bounce

Neat project. I say throw a bigger motor and some different gearing on it!

Then something definately different for braking... band brake on the clutch drum is a new one for me! lol
