Thats looks for better then the typical Tri-Glide....

I'll bet it's safer and handles better....there was a reason they stopped making 3 wheelers in the 70-80's

looks like it should be parked outside the supermarket with the horsey and helicopter ride.

yuk


BTW the 3 wheeled H-D servicar went away due to lack of market and the design had simply timed out. 45" flathead low compression version, 3 sp tranny w/R, solid axle.
to update would have been costly at a time when the market just wasn't there anymore.

other 'trike' designs were pretty much home builts or kits.

the trike looses all the advantages of manoeverability and parking

Call me old school but it doesn't look like the axle on the front wheels would support touring to me. I can't see riding that. But to each his own.

What axle? Upper and lower control arms and steering link, no axle. the upper and lowers look plenty beefy to me.

I like the idea but that front end needs a serious makeover. I find it rather unappealing.

Not fond of the cowl... But that's just fiberglass. It's not a SG though. But that's nether here nor there. Just an observation.
