I'm new here,I'm T6 para,want to build a trike,has anybody else had a go at it?

i havnt built one but i had one for a few years. what sort are you thinking of? a motorbike based one or rear engined vw, suburu . rear engines handle better but bike based ones feel like your riding again.

Hi,I want to go motorbike based,coz I've got 3 bikes to play with or sell. Was thinkin of takin the swinging arm out of my Yamaha YZF600R and graftin a quad back end on. Problems that spring to mind are,can I get on IT! and my balance,with been T6 I haven't got much in the way of stomach muscles?

getting on & off wont be a problem if your reasonably fit, im t4 complete. are your bikes shaft or chain drive . i would manufacture a swingarm from scratch or you can order a kit for some bikes. having somwhere to put chair can be difficult. i found lifting mine on & putting it behind me quiet hard & if there was a passer by i would ask them to do it for me. the fork front end dosnt handle that well compared to a leading link system. i cant seem to be able to put a pic here so have a look at pics of my bmw 1000 on myspace.
cheers
