reliant trike build

[mattyk]

hello yall great website and forum and also liked the feature manky monkey did on bikerlifestyle !!!! which is the reason im here. i used to be a car mechanic and have been fiddling wiv bikes since i was a kid but then i had some myself so the bikes unfortunatley got pushed aside and cars childseats and sleeples nights became the norm.im now looking at building(from scratch) a trike i was goin to go with a new frame a gsx1100 g motor n a 3 series axle/diff . but then i came over the manky motors reliant trike build and decided that the reliant was the one for me it just has a nice bike look too it but with a different style which is different and as we all know thats wat this custom things all about so any ideas frame piczs n drawings would be helpfull n any good points to consider? nice one to manky motors for converting me and leaving a good detailed build progresson on the site as it seems hard to find a full recorded build that makes sense 
cheers

Welcome to our fluffy little site. I'm sure the guys on here will give you all the advice needed in your project. What sort of thing do you have in mind for style and is it going to be solo or have 2 seats? Start with a good mental image of what you want and go from there. Keep us posted as Twisted said and good luck

Hello Matty. Welcome to the Monkey House! 
None of us here are experts at everything, but everyone seems to have a little useful knowledge tucked away. Put us all together & there's a very handy bank of ideas & experience here at your disposal.
Not sure which article you read on the Fabulous Mr Yodle's site. Everything's been written with MMMotors in mind, but as Yodie created this site from the ground up, it was only fair that he reproduce whatever he wanted on bikerlifestyle.co.uk
Since hooking up with my good lady Taz last year, we've taken over the running of the site a little more, leaving Yodie to act as trouble shooter & all round clever git when required. So say Hi from us next time you're there & tell him we haven't crashed & burned -yet.
Welcome to our World Sir.
