    My XJ trike project. Narrowed axle with disc brake conversion, hardtail frame, 18 inch rear wheels with a modern superbike front end.
    Are trikes liked on here?

    Sort of, it was the American cruiser version, shaft drive. I bought it as a 3 seater badly welded, bent axle, no brakes heap.
    I replaced everything from the tank back.
    Some things you'll notice - 15 inch wheels with tall tyres running 15psi, rear master cylinder hidden inside the frame, low down straight through silencer, K&N pod filters, wide front forks (best bit of the original trike).
    Stuff you can't see - multi triangulated frame, including the front half, new axle tubes to replace the reliant thin wall stuff, new front axle to replace the welded one...
    Anyway, I my back wasn't up to it, so I part exchanged it for this:-

    IMG_1977.JPG It needed something (a backlight) to make It IVA compliant what you can't see is the Perspex cover with three blue LEDs set in the edges.
