Emailed to me by Steve. He found it on the Ruffrodders site, which I haven't visited for a while. No explanation with it. He wondered if it was a Harley Servicar chassis?
No idea but I like it.

Well spotted Mr Steve. Yes, it is a Servicar chassis.
Incidentally, we've spent a good deal of time arguing in the office whether it should be Servicar, Servi-car, Servi-Car or Servi Car. Even Harley itself has used different configurations throughout its history.

I always think of a chassis as complete rolling stock -frame, suspension, wheels etc, whereas a frame is ...a frame!

Hiya Shaun! Welcome mate.
Yeah, I love that retro look. Tall, skinny tyres with big chunky treads & short springers. And frames with all sorts of unexplained mounting lugs all over them! I love this too. Janie & Dave Posties were talking of building a 50s inspired Reliant trike a while ago. They wanted big fat rubber but I thought tall & skinny would be far more in keeping.
Who needs speed when you've got effortless style like that!

Hiya, Well I have a chain drive diff, 18" wires off an Austin 7 and a pair of spitfire half shafts/hubs. All I need to do is build a sub frame to bolt it all onto the back of my Panther. easy when you say it quickly  |

 Yeah, a 5 minute job! I've got a mate with a Panther, http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/Bikespageimages/Panther/m100.htmMuch as I like the guy, it's not to my taste, but a gorgeous motor. "Proper" engineering. I'd love something like that. A long 'n' low chop or little single seater bobber. Luvverly. His is in a 4 page feature in the new 100% Biker by the way.

Love those rear tyres!
A bigger tank, maybe fatbobs, & bigger Police issue type saddle for me please. Don't bother wrapping it up, I'll ride it home.

I seen the guy's Panther on here, nice bike but not really my style BUT it is a Panther so I love it anyway  . Plan to have my trike as low as possible, I will be using a standard Panther main frame so that the trike rear will be interchangable with the standard bike rigid, girders, skinny 18" wheels, Harley 45 seat, Sporty tank etc, just need to build that rear frame, something I have never done before  Keep an eye out for more on the Harley  |
