Last trike he built was about 2 year ago now. These are quite old pics. You lot seem to be into motors so ill show you 
A little about my dad. He got bored one day and annoyed at his old Yamaha xs1100 (black trike) so he just cut the bike in half. He only left the engine mount and thats it. He had no plan on what to do he just built it as he went along. But in my opinion. He kept seeing the volkswagen car trikes and thought he could do better. He hated the way people just got a rear axel and stuck it on a bike with no other modifications. That got him furious. Thats why i think he got going tbh.
After his first one what took a while ( lots of 2-3 week breaks ) he decided to make another for his friend. That is the SHORT red one (purple now because the new owner resprayed it).It is a suzuki 750 i think. We have some build pictures of that if anyones interested to see ( email only ). After that one came the limo. The long red beast ( my fav out of the looks but the xs1100 was my fav because of the sound and speed tbh ). The design on that was unique. He wanted to get away from the local bike look. So he started just with the engine mount from the original bike frame. Ill explain more in the accual post for it. same for the other bikes. This is just a base line to show you
This is the last trike he built
theres the ONLY PICTURE of my dad..
It is a Yamaha 750cc. I dont know what year but my dad says it goes like stink. He sold it for £1800 MOTED and SVAed. All road legal.

yahama xs1100 
he hates the idea of a bike front end. He always cuts it of just after the engine mount and cuts the top where the tank goes (he remakes). He only did that on his last trike. Other 2 trikes he just cut off after the tank and after the engine mount. He likes to work his way back to a custom mount for the axle
