    What in the hell was this idiot thinking?

    Check out this botched abortion. The moron running the posting actually states the conversion is done well. That thing looks horrible. I wish I could buy it and put it out of its misery.

    Looks weak. Like it would fold on you if you were to jump it.

    There is only one pipe holding the whole front end up.. I bet you could easily bend that if you were to jump it. It would probably be really easy to convert that back into a trike if you were to buy it.. all you would need is the front end assembly.

    I would buy it if it were closer and take the torch to it. Cut all the crap off the front, call you up for a front end make something of it again. I bet it would convert right back, It doesnt look like there is any structural damage to its original frame.

    It does look as though it could be saved. If I had the money, I would do it.
