Well it has definitely been a challenge. But I wanted a true motorized Worksman Trike done the correct way and not a hack job like several I have seen on the www. It has been awesome to build this and see it come to life. I hope you can appreciate it as much as I do.
So this is a list of what it took to build.
Cut and stretched a total of 15"s and lowered 2"
Skyway wheels
Axle turned to match Skyways and custom hub for drive axle, also cutom hub for engine sprocket.
Bontrager tires
Engine
Custom built exhaust
All cables and wires run through frame and wiring all loomed outside frame
Springer front end
New fenders front and rear
New handlebars and BMX Stem
Bell seat
Shifter cart gas tank
160mm 3 piece cranks
New modified chain guard
New pedals
Raise and relocate rear deck to clear engine drive sprocket.
Added center bar

Now that is one cool,lookin trike. Brilliant,how does it go?
Thanks. It rides very good. With the stretch and springer it takes the bumps really smooth and the 2" drop makes it feel much more stable. Does about 20mph. But not steady feeling, too much flexing. But around 15mph it rides very good, which is really plenty fast enough.
 
This is sweet nice job :D
 
Thanks for the comments. Yes the skyway wheels, I think just make the bike. If it was spokes, I don't think it would have been as nice of a build. I rode it to the store last night @ 10:30, using the engine, the exhaust is rather loud, so I'm sure there were some unhappy people lol
 
Nice integration of speed, style, and function!
What an awesome trike!
