Home made Trike

(1/2) > >>

Pappy Frank:
I am in the planning stages of a home made trike, I am planning on using the engine, transmision and rearend out of an 86 Mustang. The engine is a 3.8 V6 and I will leave the rearend at the stock length. I have most everything figgured out except the front end. I am under the impression that a motorcycle front end will not hold up especially in an emergency stop. I would like to use a spindle out of the Mustang also, so I can cary one spare for both front and rear.

I need help, if anyone has made one I would love to hear from them. Otherwise any pictures or articles would be helpful.

Thanks.
Pappy Frank

I am a newbie, and this is my first post.

Hi ya Frank!

I haven't built a trike, but I did get to the design stage of my project...

Heading out the door, but I will post more later.

Most of the ones I've seen use a motorcycle front end, but I get where you're going.  Here's a few versions from my heroes over at Blastolene...

I'd like to convert a Can-Am Spyder to use a VW TDI.  Ultimate hyper-mile commuter.
