There was a bloke here recently who sold his 14 trike.

Think he converted it him self.

Might be worth trawling the for sale section  :onya:

I know it sold, but it might be worth pm'ing him to see what details he may be able to provide

I remember it too
Its cheap buy it now price is £3000
If it's registered as a trike (I'm sure it must be)
Then saves all the hassle of the S.V.A.test and all that goes along with that.

I'm thinking it was a Welsh bloke with one leg? Hence the powershift thing on the trike which is why it looks familiar.

Whilst I'm really not a fan of trikes, I do see why some less able bodied folk use them as an alternative to 2 wheels.

If I was in the market, I'd be looking at GSX1400's, B-King and Hayabusa trikes.
I've seen all 3 done in the past and all are great bikes that would make an interesting trike.
