Looks pretty narrow, not sure I'd wanna be going to quick with it like that.

Very nice, I like how short and narrow it is, What is the rear track width?Have you weight the finished trike?

But, it looks to me that the way the tube are bent that there is a lot of stress on those front tubes, brackets, bolts/ threaded holes, and the the way your fork tubes are raked out, if those are stock motorcycle fork tubes, they are really laid down and taking a lot of stress horizontally for such a thin wall tube.
