That's awesome. The video reminds me of flat track racing in the 70's.

The frame is a work of art.

Great looking Trike!! It's great to see more of them being built!

Thanks guys! It was a fun project and sparked LOTS of interest locally. Many visits to our shop and now we're actually designing and building another simpler tubular version for local sales. Already have at least a dozen orders with deposits.

I'm a young bird here on this forum, but we do powder coating and light fabrication in our machine shop. This build was almost an obsession for us and this was built over a very short time. Would have had it done in a couple/few days, but was busy with the powder coating at the time of this build so it took a couple weeks.

In case anyone's interested, I did a sort of "build thread" on my Facebook page. Check out here..... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1479587678737741.1073741857.100000595699148&type=1&l=33645d4571 Any and all comments/questions appreciated.

I really like the HD industrial look; I'm guessing there's a bit of weight in the frame?

Is that the "kit" where you buy the cad files a have it cut?

Wow that thing is beautiful. Im not too big on drift karts, save for Colin Furzes since he used a Lifan on it, but this thing is in a class all on its own. Too cool.

How much for a hold and weld chassis kit ?
