Check out this one and find the faults.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trike-Motorc ... SwwAdZ816J

1- the prop shaft is at a sharp angle.
2- rad could do with a nice cover.
3- drive axle looks like it was fitted by a drunken donkey,
4- no Q plate reg on a hand built frame.
5- no rear suspicion.
6- it's at a dealers and needs a wash and polish
I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.

Another thing I just noticed with the Hondakawasakivt500whatever apart from the bolts clamping the axle to the frame, what's to stop it moving with the amount of torque that motor puts out if they decide to give it some Welly?

The Ubolt nuts are not full threaded so probably not into the nylon bit in the nuts. Bit of vibration and goodbye axle :o :o
