Building a Trike from scratch.

Anyone got any plans or anything.

My neighbour weants to build one.
He has the mechanical expertise, but cannot use an internet forum. Google is about as far as he gets.

Anyway, he has the following: GS1000 engine with Toyota Corrolla back axle.

He's just looking for any help he can get in the construction part.

Thanks in advance.

You might have better luck over in the motorbike section. A trike isn't an off-road vehicle.

There was a series done on this on Discovery - A Trike is Born.

You might want to double check the law when it comes to trikes. A friend of mine wanted to build one but apparently a trike will only be legal if it is factory built.

there are a good few trikes on the road

Alot of trikes use the engine & rear chasis from a beatle, i think its one of the easier ways of making one, but there are a louad of other types on the road. Your best bet would be to head to here:
