    Nice touches all over!
    Love them rear wheels big-time!

    I don't know how many trikes there are using a XJ Platform, but yours is one of the nicest looking trikes I've see with a YAMAHA Platform.

    Hey Rubberlips.

    I was looking through some of last year's posts and came across those of the cool looking trike you were building.

    Did you ever finish it?

    Got any new pix?

    Rubberlips,
    Awsome looking trike! I like how you made the frame work for the rear wheels. Nice clean looking mod with a touch of custom work looks like you enjoy fabricating much like myself. I like when people think "out of the box" and do their own thing and your thing looks great! Just what I need for these Minnesota winters!!
