    Making a CB 750 to a trike?

    Does anybody know how I would go about making a CB 750 into a trike? I'm not talking about puting the motor in a Honda or something, I mean actually making it a trike.

    I don't think it would be very hard except for the axle. At first I thought I could make it a solid axle set up pretty much like a normal 2 wheeler but thought again and realized I would probably need a differential. What do you guys think? I intend for it to be street legal. Any help is appreciated.

    Well, I've seen factory made trikes like that. They probably have a diff though, I dunno. Do trikes have a diff? I heard something about it in a forum but I didn't think they did. I would still be able to license it as a motorcycle wouldn't I? I don't really see a problem with that but I could be wrong. The reason I thought it would need a differential is because, on the street, the tires would be working against eachother, not that I would want to use it off road(can you imagine? a 605lb motorcycle riding trails, lol), mainly when you turn.

    here . . .

    You would have to make wider triple trees to fit the larger tire and the whole swingarm would have to be widened. It would be a complicated process probably.

    Why would you need to get wider forks or anything? Like I said, this isn't for off road, just something different. I plan to use the original front wheel. And I will have to find a different swingarm probably, but I planned to just get a straight axle and stick it through. That simple, as far as plans go. Or maybe I don't understand what you mean.
