This is a picture of my VW trike. Lots of fun and it has a tow bar that lifts the front wheel off the ground so I can tow it behind the motorhome......terrys trike

Cool!! What are the detail on that thing??

The back half was a '74 VW with a 1600 cc dual port. Front half is fabricated from 1-1/4" 0.120" wall square tube. I fabricated and welded the gas tank from a sheet of 0.060" stainless. The front end is a Honda 19" front wheel and Hodaka shocks. Rest is fabricated. Side panels are 0.063" aluminum and cover the electrics including a garden tractor battery. Bench seat will carry two people comfortably. Top speed is unknown but I have been past 85 MPH a couple times. I can lift the front wheel on the 3rd to 4th gear shift. No, I do not intend to "fix it up". Its purpose is to tow behind the motor home and it gets real dirty back there...............Terry
