If someone were to fit a Gold wing lump into one of your frames, Andy, do you thing it would look like Chris Ireland's Lowlife?

Oooh, Chris'll be crushed.
"Lowlife" was one of those iconic creations that made a huge impact on the custom scene when it appeared in Back Street Heroes number 43.

Nothing quite like it at the time & it inspired a lot of people -including me.

As I said, just a thought.
If you remember I have already suggested putting a CBR 600 lump in one, but thinking about it earlier a GW lump would be ideal. Its about the same length as a piggy engine, and shaft as a bonus. Plenty of grunt as well (gettit?)  Grin

Oink.
The guy who bought the GS850 trike I was building for Rainbow a year or two back, was planning to fit a BMW engine in it. Anything will fit in anything if you're determined enough.

Try putting a different engine in a Ural frame. The bottom rails are only six inches apart, and if you cut the frame its classed as a major modification now.
