I am thinking that this may become a chopper trike with a kids Nirve Clutch frame I have.

This is the Nirve Clutch frame I am thinking of marrying to the trike rear.

My thinking is to get two more OCC rear wheels and mount 5" wide Harley tires. I had a pair of these, but just got rid of them because they wouldn't work with brakes and chains, but on the trike I don't have to worry about that.

The trike has a single speed coaster brake hub with another gear on the other side. I am going to half to take a look at how that other gear is attached. I would love to replace the old hub with an old SA 3 speed hub. That way I can have the gearing, but also a cool stick shift.

I don't expect to start building on this anytime soon. Just thinking out my options and start collecting parts and ideas.
 
I picked up two more OCC's today and stopped by the Harley dealer and found a matching pair of WHITEWALLS!!! These will all go towards my future chopper trike build.

Here is the free Harley whitewall next to the trike.
