The trike looks better than the bike. Tastefully done & quite eye-catching.

I always found it strange reading Streetchopper Magazine ..all these straight laced looking guys building and riding the coolest outrageous machines ? Much preferred Easyrider mag..I wonder if that trike still exists ?

Might look good but I bet it rides like a nightmare.
Were all different but looks alone don't do it for me - pootling allong and remembering my trike doesn't corner, just as I'm turning in is no fun. Undecided

It's the 1968 AEE Corvair trike and as of about 2015 it still existed. Vaguely remember this, as I saw a pic of the chain drive transmission while thinking about an air cooled VW engine trike with the engine mounted in a similar fashion.

Rake and trail neither here nor there if it just tips over..
Would keep your feet warm while doing it though?
