Veloce3 - Custom Reverse Trike Motorcycle

[peashooter101]

How did you do the Front brakes? I though about building a trike and one problem is that if you don't keep a small amount of pressure on the front brakes, the cup seals will leak. I thought about using a combination valve. Would you think that would work?

[dabaddon]

does it have reverse gear?

[rrluis7]

How much would you sell it for if you had a buyer? or how much to fabricate just a rolling frame?

[crigjag1612]

Cool check out the Rt im building on my page...

[dr00pydog68]

do you have a scematic of your design? are you willing to share? you have some good design ideas here.

[calholli]

Looks Awesome!! What did you use for the front hubs, spindles, ball joints, tie rods, rack-pinion?? I need to finish my build, FZ750... I'm trying to research what works best... so any info would be appreciated.. thanks!!

I used majority of parts from a C4 corvette except the composite spring. For spring and shocks I used rear coil overs form a Harley V-rod. Many use Vw front ends but I don't know why. I have kit cars with them, they are not light, handle poorly, brake poorly and are ugly. Vette uprights and A arms are aluminum and polish up beautifully. Good luck on your build.

Very nice job but it looks very heavy..what is weight?

[never2oldmn]

950 lbs

[alexthegreat2008]

@never2oldmn not bad.. very clean build..

[harjindersingh18]

hi wayne, man very nice job... liked Your trike very much..

[kelvinhunt1]

hi there, just wanted to say this is beautiful and the colour is spot on very nice work take care have fun!

[K9NINE9X]

How much did it cost to buy all the tool's and metal to make this becuse im going to start my own project and i need to no how much its going to cost me.

AND beautiful job.

[alexthegreat2008]

It will cost you about 9k total.

[ingesumadre]

one of the most beautifule reverse trike i have seen ! AAA great job amaizing suspension

[never2oldmn]

Thanks. No difference noticed. I purposely kept the wheelbase as short as possible by using a custom made, shorter, steel swing arm. My calculations indicate a center mounted engine would be off balanced when singly driven - mine is a compromise. Some engine weight is offset by having the race car radiator and a battery on the opposite side of the engine. If I found a buyer for mine, I would build another with almost identical layout. It handles like it is glued to the road, Wayne

Very Nice Job! I see allot of quality components have been used. Can you tell me, with the Engine sitting off center, do you notice any roll, yaw or difference with a passenger or without? I have thought of the same offset to use a driveshaft bike and allow for the wider rear tire. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

[redspade04]

thats what im thinking of building. im looking into a hayabusa motor and just a one seater. i also only want to spend maybe 10k or less if i could. do you think that would be possible?

[liberalxinxamericax]

same here man and yes if you bought used parts (i.e. roadrashed bike, wheels off ebay). Then you gotta do most of the fab work yourself keeps costs down. But yeah I think so.

[Docv400]

Very, very nice job Wayne.

It looks like a 'factory' vehicle.

Are the uprights Corvette items also?

[never2oldmn]

Thanks, and yes, the cross member, a-arms and spindles, brakes are C4 corvette, coil overs are rear from a Harley v-rod

[insideoutbeegees]

one of the best two front passinger I have to say.

[disndat11]

Wonderful!

If you care to share any build pictures you might have with the rest of the world, we have a Yahoo Group dedicated to Reverse Trikes. Any info on this build would be greatly appreciated by all members.

Beautiful design and workmanship! Trust me, I can appreciate how much work you've put into your ride. I've just started my second prototype.

[Sulkyrider]

Cool trike

[cosmicrayturbo]

Thats a nice piece of kit. Clearly well made and well thought out. I am trying to get my father to retire and start a project like this. But engineers seldom retire they just fall into the final sleep at the workbench.

[gettuff2]

Nice ride!!
