I like that!  The tank looks nicely in proportion with the engine, nice comfy single seat and a fat back end, perfect!
Looks as though there's gonna be some nice trikes about this year.

Looking very good there Mr Mouse. Very long forks. What are they from? Maybe lower the headstock a little? Based on my experience with the first one I built

Sharon's XS750

I'd say keep the centre of gravity as low as you can & think about a fork brace.
Cool lookin' ride though  Cool
I'm really looking forward to this year's riding season. Anyone up for the 2nd annual MonkeyNuts Run?

I was going to ask the same thing, but figured it's in a corridor so he can't get the angle.
