Yep, I got this idea germinating in my head. Appears to be an easy build. Yeah right.

Idea. Make a trike. Enough said. Hopefully it's not reverse.

Look up JZR and JZR Pilots Association.  These are (mostly) CX/GL powered replicas of Morgan 3-wheelers.  Very pretty, and well documented.  Also visit Reverse Trike.com to learn more about trikes, licensing, and insuring.  I'm hoping to build one someday (JZR style).

Regards, JimL

Jim, I have visited all those sites while doing research for my projects, some magnificent machines have appeared on those pages. I am just finishing a reverse trike, "La Cosa" Once I get the steering straightened out it will be a blast.

Me?  Crap on your thread?  NEVER!  I loved yer' yellow trike!!!  I'd love to see you do it again!  Hence my $0.02!!

Mamma alway's said if'in ya' couldn't say nuthin' nice, keep yer' freakin' mouth shut!

This ain't one of them "Screw everyone everychance you get" boards, that's why I like it so much.  Now I'll poke sticks here-n-there, but I would never dream of crapping on anyone's post!!!!

Now make with the new Three wheeler build pic's!!!

The CX500 makes a fantastic donar for a reverse trike. I've had years of fun from my JZR.

"I've had years of fun from my JZR. " I would love a JZR but with my knees and hip I would never be able to get in and out. I need a wide-open cockpit.
