This is my first build. Finally figured out how to add pics.

How well do you think it will handle, with that much rake? Just curious. I'd like to build a mini "harley" springer, but don't really know enough about that type of steering geometry....
Oh yeah,
And I really like that coil spring chair. What size engine , on that vw trike? We won't get mad at ya if you threw up a pic of that, and the bike in the background.

Well the bike handles really well it only goes 45 kmh tho just took it out yesterday. The vw trike is 1965 1200cc with a 1937 Norton girder front end the girder is modified a bit. I'll get some pics of it up here if you want to check it out.

O I know I'd like to see some pics. I'm an old school vw but ,as well as a kart addict....
65 was the last year for the 1200,IIRC. In 66, the 1300 came to life. Its what was in my 66 bug. It was my first car, and I was 13. My grandpa restored it for me,very clean. He drug it all the way to Missouri, from Texas, to give it to me for my birthday. Its also what I learned to drive a standard in. In my family, by the time you get to 10-12 years old, you have already had some seat time.

So here it is. I'm still doing mock up on the front end. I just rebuilt the bottom end of the motor gotta get some new cylinders and pistons and rebuild the heads yet. It's a work in progress but probably one of the funnest ones I've done so far.
