    If you have any extra bed frames I could use one or two for my roaster/smoker build. I can't wait to see what you come up with,good luck

    Personally I was considering putting an Electra Glide on the road, but after reading this I've decided to just weld a set of peddles to the front forks and ride it like a moped...

    Actually, I have to say, the kid has heart, but it would be nice if someone gave him a bit of direction...

    The bed frames standing up in your first pic are a nice touch. For some reason I fear for the lower unit on that boat motor, I can see that prop mounted on this trike somewhere. Lol

    I hope we're talking metal bed frames, not wood...?

    Another instant classic from BC.
    You could charge admission for your build threads.
    I gotta say, for what you are working with, that frame doesn't look half bad, and I am kinda liking the geometry. Looks motocross inspired

    i wanted to make the frame as close to a motocross frame as posible it should look even more like one after i cut the back add swingarm mounts and a subframe
    the swingarm will be the only part made with the bed frames but that will half to weight till i get back from a trip back to osoyoos
