    Default So this is what I saw when I got off the plane...

    I walked into the parking garage, and this was sitting there. Has anybody seen one of these, or is it a custom job?

    Saw over on Trike Talk where a guy was building on like that out of an old Goldwing. Looks like a VW front end which sounds like a good idea.

    It would probably look better, if he would of left the nose piece off. Did you leave your ph #, so you could meet up and compare notes ???

    Default Old Wing

    Thats a 80's wing 1000/1100 cc goldwing frame and rear section the rest came from any/everywhere. Agree that the front end ruined the project,but unless they moved the radiator they will need airflow right up the middle...all in all good work..

    Got to agree it is ugly, but there was a lot of creativity involved in putting it together.

    Default GoldWing UGLY Trike

    That looks to me to be about the ugliest 1976-77-78 Honda GoldWing
    I have ever seen... I have had 5 of them If you look close it is all GoldWing
    from the tripple tree back.
    Lots of work but maybe with different body work it would look better

    IMO: They got the right idea, but the design is still pretty crude.

    The guy certainly had the right idea; it's just that his plan got cobbled -up by how he did it...
    I've got to take a closer look at those valve covers; if they're scalloped in at the center it'd be an 1100. If it's pretty much straight across from front to rear; it's a Liter-'Wing.
    We may not think it's pretty, but I'll bet that he loves riding it!

    Just got done blowing them up and magnifying them... it's a 1000; circa 1975 to 1979!

    Don't know much about the mechanics, just how it looks. Don't like it!
