prob is there are so many variables.
do you want rigid, live axle or irs.
the looks of a bike with an an axle behind it or something more one off.
builders are not to keen to pass on plans, myself included,
although i do get pestered for plans for my vw trike frames i won;t pass them on.
one guy wanted plans i said i'll sell you a frame, can't stop you building a jig from that. no he did'nt want to do that as he is a welder fabricator.
so i offered him a set of plans for the same price as a frame.
was'nt to keen on that idea either.

the guy is mainly interested in building harley based trikes with working rear suspension normall bike fork front ends
he builds twin engined dragsters as a hobby and could probably build from scratch but would rather plans as a starting point
i am trying to convince him to go to car based trikes
he built my drag bike trellis frame from scratch on a jig
i believe there is a custom dealer in the us who do plans for harley based ones but trying to locate them
i reckon he should just go for it
but he is concerened about getting geometry right
