Hi,
Here are some pics of a model I bought off ebay already built with the intention of turning it into a trike.
This is what I started with and how far I have got.

I stripped all the chrome and most of the paint off it. (Im still having trouble getting the red off the frame}. Ive been using oven cleaner, any other ideas what I could use.
I then widened a tank and made my own handlebars

Ive been having second thoughts how to do the trike.
What about all black and stealthy looking.

Ive been doing a little bit more to the trike. i have made my own tank, (which I think looks a little too big).
Ive moved the rear wheels closer to the frame, made flat full wheel disks for the front wheel and cone disks for the rear wheels.
The wheels are off a SUZUKI GSXR 600, the forks are from a KTM 690, the belly pan off the KTM is now a headlight and the seat
is from an APRILIA RSV4. Im having trouble finding fairy power spray to remove the red paint on the frame, so I decided to try some
RC nitro fuel. It took the paint off in minutes, just not where glue has been. Heres some pics
