Hi ya peeps....

Does anyone know of or have any plans for building trike frame at all,

I don't want to copy the plan I'm just looking for basic measurements any some thing I can adapt to my own design.

If any one can help then that would be great.

Go on,

Be a bit more specific.

Bike trike? Car engined trike?

Here's the basic set I'm gonna run

Homda VT500 shaft drive engine

Reliant or same sort of rear axle

Finances willing... a springer front end

14" poss 15" rear wheels

All based around a 1960's, 70's style american pick up truck. It won't be used as a pick up just have the styling of one.

Have a look at the site below. Go to "New Stuff" for an essay & photos on building a rigid Reliant frame.
I'm into the Hotrod scene too. Try Ol' Skool Rodz magazine for inspiration. I get it on subscription from the Magazine Man but have given last month's copy to a mate. They've got a website. You doing the Nostalgia Drags meet at Avon Park in July?

Can't remember if the bar's open during drag meets, (hopefully not to the drivers!). If it is, I'll buy you a pina collada or two Mr D. Met you very briefly at the NABD do, so got a vague idea what you look like. Wander round the pits & look for my brother's Chevy & make yourself known, (he read your drag race posting here). My bike will be parked with his car.
Should have my own site up & running by then so will post a report. :)
