After around six years of off and on building I have come to the realisation that I am not going to finish this one, it's been a dream of mine for a long time and it's very close to being finished but it needs new enthusiasm.  I know I've spoken to a good few people who fancy the idea of a Reliant powered bike as opposed to a trike so I'm looking to find the right owner to take this project on.  I can send pics and, truth be told, it's not really about the money, I just want to find someone that shares this particular dream and will put her on the road.  I'm based in Carlisle, Cumbria and would like to speak to any interested party before sending pics, my number is 07929 785231 or PM me your number.  Many thanks, Phil.

I'll see what I can do over the weekend, hasn't been up for sale before though.  Apologies if it seems a bit of a half-hearted sale thread but I really am looking for the right buyer as opposed to the most money I can get so I'm not going to be in a big rush.
Just remembered, I've got some early pics on this thread but since then I've lengthened it 100mm and fitted an XS1100 bevel box for chain drive and quite a few other mods, gives you the feel of it though:

Thanks Stinkey buts it's more a feeling that I belong in a car, with a roof, and a heater, and a radio, and, well, you get the idea.

What a shame to be letting it go, but I understand what your saying, happens to most at one time or another, I'm sure you will get a price that reflects the effort you have obviously expended on it so far, and it makes me think that someone might turn it into this, without too much effort! now wouldn't that be a fitting completion?

Thats different yukonphil, shame you can't manage to finish it. Obviously loads of work gone into that allready.
I bet selecting reverse would make it interesting.
