the guy i bought it off said its a modified servi car frame done by a frame builder.with the rear flipped over. its a 1400 cc rev tek moror and 5 speed trans. someone said it must be a welded on rear.but my mechanic mate said its a 1 piece frame. for some reason it does not have the down tube for the seat post

Agree with Racepres though as it really don't belong here,

Unless it happens to have a Shovel bottom end,
Which is really outside the norm,

Lots of folks have evo parts&guts in Shovels,

No disrespect here,
I don't see goin the other way,

(Edit)
Also (No disrespect intended)

That rear seat/box thing,
Actually the whole seating arrangement,
That would be somthin I would change,

If the ol lady is back there&she gets her inner thighs caught on those springs your going to be rubbin creams&such on them for at least 6 months after the 1st ride,
You may be thinkin that would be a good thing,
My thinkin is probably not after she is bitchin at ya the whole time,

Safety is the key,

Default Trike

I love my two wheeler but I also have a trike and I know most Harley riders dont like them it's the can am spyder if u think about it most of yur braking is done by the front so u have two wheels doing most of the braking opposite to a standard trike with one front wheel streeing u have two front wheels telling that back wheel where to go where as the standard trike u have one front wheel trying to control two large wheels on the back and if u check deep into the trikes Harley had made a proto trike with two wheels up front before can an but shelved it and here in Ontario it's hard to ins. a trike unless it is made by a manufacturer such as can am or Harley I know I have rode both bike and if I'm riding a trike its going to be so call skidoo with wheels

lots of the older guys have gone to electric start - kicking it out - others have side cared the machine they have - and others have taken the 2 up machine and triked it - my shop is small so they are not customer friendly to me because of space - most of us get it I am actually looking 68 barracuda SS/AH again if I cant kick over and ride the collection - we will see and go play at the race track again still have the super gas 68 nova will finish that first

so does it matter no age and experience tells you as an adult what direction to take a bunch of this cats in jersey you can see 20 together sometimes but when they stop someplace no one else can park
