Car Tire On R1 Pics Inside
I picked up a lightly bruised 98 R1 with a clean title to build into a reverse trike like the campagna t-rex. Just got the tire put on it. Im waiting for steel tubing for the frame, the tube bender stand, rims/tires, and shielding gas for my welder to come in the mail soon I can start building the frame.

Why are you having to buy shielding gas for your welder through the mail?

one of the best things about these reverse trikes is that they register and insure as a motorcycle. So you can demolish practicaly every car and out handle them and get good gas mileage and only pay $150 a year for insurance. good deal

I agree, but the concept is the same. Also similar in layout to the Aptera. Where did you get the from suspension from? what vehicle?
I have a set of tri-magnum plans somewhere. interesting concept but I wanted rack and pinion and IFS.

I pickep up a front clip from a 76 chevette. I decided to take the stock springs and shocks out and use something like these and use the mounting point where the gas shock used to be.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ajust...spagenameZWDVW

I need to find coil overs that are the more adjustable screw type and can adjust the gas as well
