Home-Built Three-Wheeled Motorcycle
 ✖  |
I made this three-wheeled "motorcycle" out of a 1981 Isuzu 2-door car with a 61 hp. diesel and 5-speed transmission. The car got 45 mph at 60 to 65 mph. It weighed 2,500 lbs. The motorcycle I made from it weighs 1,865 lbs., with 450 lbs. on the Honda front fork. I replaced the rear 13-in. tires with 14-in. tires. The motor mounts directly to the frame û no rubber mounts. Runs real smooth. The rig measures about 15 ft. long. There's a seat for two in front and a rear "rumble" seat facing backward for two more.
It runs great and gets 60 to 70 mpg. The engine has just 87,000 miles on it so it should last a long while. (George Smith, 529 West Jackson, Fremont, Neb. 68025)
