08 Nightster with Frankenstein rearend.
 
Just wanted to attach a pic of the trike I'm building to
get an idea what poeple think of it..... Thanks for looking !

nice. that rear end certainly looks familiar. is that the 30" axle?

you planning on raking the front? the stock rake of the sportty frame might be a little to steep to accomodate a trike rear end.

Very nice......wish I had known about those rear ends before purchasing mine.......Like Grimm said, you might want to consider a raked front end (reduce the amount of trail) I just did mine and it's like night and day.......

Thanks, It's the 34" sport axle, here's a pic I took today.
I have added V&H short shots, fenders and a wind shield.
As far as raking the front, I'm not sure; it doesn't steer
bad the way it is, sure it takes a little effort but I'm not
sure it 's worth the expense and work involved.
I would like to try a raked trike so I could feel the difference.

Looks really nice......if you're happy with the way it handles....just keep it as is and ride the hell out of it......

Ride safe
