I was chatting to Tony this evening, (Retro 900). He reckons I should try building a "reverse" trike -2 wheels at the front. Wonder how they handle?
If you are serious, how about finding a Kitten, and hacking off the back chassis? Then just fit a CX500 swing arm and Bob's your auntie. |

It'd have to be a bit prettier than that, but not a bad idea. You don't think 2 trikes & a hotrod's enough for me to be going on with for now then?  |

If I can find the pic, and get our ancient steam driven scanner working, I have some shots of a lovely single seat, reliant engined hand built special.

I have in mind an Indian type bobber, with the lump mounted fore & aft with a Dnepr gearbox & shaft drive.

I think I mentioned it when I first started posting on here, but things got in the way. I might get it done eventually.
This late Indian Four is what I would aim for it to look like, but without the leaf spring forks.

See, now I really like leaf sprung front ends. Something a little quirky about them that appeals to me.

I would like a sunbeam frame, but would rather build my own hardtail using a Ural or Dnepr front & headstock.
