    Saw a Neon-based Trike today

    So this guy took the front end of a motorcycle, mashed it with a tube frame to the front end of a Dodge Neon and even bondoed up the rear end of the Neon to fit on the back (where the cab would have started)!

    I thought it was a pretty cool idea and wanted to share it here.

    Oh, sorry. No pictures

        Exactly, this thread is useless without pics!!

        If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            Quick google search found this on a neon forum. Not sure if it's the right one, but still comical.

                I think I've seen a setup like that around these parts. Wasn't quite as nice as James' example though.

                    I've got the rear of an xs1100 that I thought about doing this (reverse trike) with. Probably going to use a VW front end.

                      130hp? IRS? Rear steering? It's the ultimate in performance trike! :geek:

                              Haha, well...

                              It was almost exactly like the one James posted... A lot shorter and a lot more bare bones-ish.
