I am looking to build my own trike from a 750cc honda.?

Question

I live in Brisbane australia. Is there any where i can find a naked trike frame to build my machine around.

Answer 1

You want to use as much of the frame from the bike as possible.

There is a yahoo group

Answer 2

First let me appologize for my not only RUDE but incorrect countryman. Most trike conversions use the engine, trans and rear drive pulley or sprocket of the motorcycle being converted, leaving gear ratios the same. Drive shaft bikes are mated up to automotive rear ends (like Mustang) and are close. Your problems are two fold...one being the afore mentioned rear end (differential). You now have two wheels, like a car, one spining at a slower speed than the other in a turn... you need a differential. Two, experts in the biz really would like to see 70 hp (US horse power) or more on the trike. Your motor is a bit small. AND as I mentioned earlier, most trikes are conversions, done with kits that bolt up to existing motorcycles. I know of no one selling a "trike frame" let alone one for your 750. Sorry.

Answer 3

say mate?

meaning no disrespect mate, you don't have the know-how and the tools and equipment to do it.

you need a mechanical engineering degree to figure out the gear ratio

no worries mate
