I haven't been here in a long time, I want to say thank you to those who actually took the time to reach out to me from my intro post and help me out in every way they could. I am very grateful of that.
Slowly getting the Trike together after lots of fighting with my brother to get him to do it. Its a lot of hard work when you have nothing to go by, no plans, no prints, no numbers, zero. Hopefully the pictures will show some progress. Right now im currently working on the front and rear suspension which its a little tricky but we are going to work on it this Sunday   , any suggestions I am open to. Im using mustang 2 system for my trike. Email me at Leticiagsxr2003@gmail.com or follow at Lettyon26s instagram . Only time I can work on the trike is on Sundays, so its going to be a slow progress. Enjoy the pictures and please understand that we have never seen a trike in person. All the work done is based on pictures and information gathered online from people like you and websites. It wont let me post more pics |

Looks like a reasonable kit. I'm not sure about the thicker tubing advice, tube frames are pretty simple to engineer and test so I imagine the designers put some sort of thought into that, although I would recommend some tubes for you to add if the frame in the picture is the final frame (assuming they fit within the body. A trend I had noticed in side by sides and trikes is people caring more about looks then safety. If you go look at any new side by side there isn't a straight tube in the roll hoops and roof elements, so if you were to actually roll all the tubes are pre-bent and will fail/bend/crush that much easier. The designers do take the time to make them nice pretty single piece multi bend tubes which helps the issue, unlike my Spartan where every tube ends into another tube to make corners, except the roll hoop.
I would be interested in seeing the swing arm design that came with your kit as I am looking into creating a custom wide wheel swing arm that uses a standard car wheel but is still dual sided for strength. Good luck with the project, feel free to PM if you have questions about anything. Nice Lambo replica (I assume), always liked the look of those cars.
