My 1st Reverse Trike

My reverse trike that I'm hoping to finish soon. R1 engine, single seater sandrail frame and a linkpin front end. I gutted the front beam and will be using thru-rods w/ clamps and 11" progressive springs. Once all of the welding is done, it will be sandblasted and powder coated w/ a sheet metal body.

nice but it looks kind of heavy

@2012borracho It'll tip the scales at around 900lbs. Not too heavy

Does that rear tire you have in teh video fit in the stock R1 swing arm and 17 inch rim? If so what size and make is is it????

Do share

[chiodeguate1]

Nah, just tried it out for the moment.  It's an 18" tire but I'll be sticking with the 17" that comes stock on the bike. How far are you with yours?

[RYNO1728]

Need to check out rqriley.com 

He has a lot on the reverse trikes so it won't flip easy..

Yours looks good.. A company in Tennessee offerred a video on how to do what your doing but 2 seater.. It was called Reverse Technology..out of east Tenn.

It's Chromoly, so not too heavy. Yeah, Im moving quick on it now. Im hoping to get the welding done by next week and it'll be a rolling chassis then.

Good Luck--I've often thought a sandrail frame could be used as a starting point for a reverse trike. I'll be interested in your final outcome.
