GT750 Trike

[Saex 0]

started this build 6 months ago,i had two Kawasaki GT750's one was already on the road,Take one peace of shit.


the othere in box's i had them given to me as payment for a full service on a friends bike. The hardest thing was to get hold of a rear axle.


This first thing to do was to chop off 4" from the left side so the chain will line up.


Forming the bottom tube.

Drum breaks are all you realy need for size of engine, but disc breaks do look nice.
