this is my little homebuilt trike it starts with a xt550 front end including steering homemade chassis conected to a complete datsun 180b independent rear end. Power is a 4k with 3spd auto i have mounted a sc12 blower on it (not piped yet-soon though) have an 1 3/4 su carby to fit drawthrough onto it i am going to make custon extractors to suit along with inlet manifold
this trike is mainly for straight line sand dragging over 100 -130 meter distance

I whole-heartedly endorse this incredibly unsafe/awesome piece of redneck engineering.

Masturbating with a cheese grater is also different, but not recommended. A lot like cramming a V6 into an 82.
