Christ, Rob, must be a bit claustrophobic sat in that.

Quite nice -but why must they always keep the bike back end? Rear mudguard, pillion seat etc. Always looks like a bike that's had an axle shoved in, rather than a purpose built trike to me. Just my personal opinion.

 Which wheels This is an 18" rear from a Kawasaki KR1S - weighs about 4 ounces. Has a teeny and funky looking front disc and the cush drive 'hole' isn't too big either. 17mm axle if I remember rightly. Tyre is a 130 or a 140. |

Like the wheel colour. I trust you're gonna do the whole trike in that?
What happens if you drop the seat height a couple of inches? -apart from the whole thing falling in a heap on the floor. Would probably mean pushing the footpeg position forward a couple of inches, but might look better if you're sat into it a bit more, rather than on it.
I still think wheel number 5 was the best match for the back 'uns.

Its most likely going to be black (boring I know) but have you seen that green they used on the VW Lupo Gti thingy a few years back ?
Can't remember what they called it.

Know what you mean, I reckon it'd improve the look if the space was filled in with some sort of hard luggage. |

I expect it's  because they have used a fabricated swing arm which can be removed so the bike can be put back to it's original state. Then it does not have to be inspected again.

Yeah, true, but forget the hard luggage & fit a hard tail! And cissy bars are for cissies! |

I phoned up about it to ask what axle they used, as I thought it was an Escort.
Turns out it is a Rascal, with some sort of homemade transfer box between the gearbox and diff, to sort out the gearing.

Sounds unduly complicated. Must've been an easier alternative?

number four is the one to use and like manky said drop the seat height and become one with the trike not just a passenger.
